Jazz's Keyonte George: Shines off the bench with 19 points
Rotowire
George finished Friday's 121-99 loss to the Celtics with 19 points (7-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds and seven assists over 33 minutes.
George has been a bright spot during a disappointing season. He's followed up a promising freshman campaign with a productive sophomore campaign, averaging 16.9 points, 5.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds over 56 games. Given the backcourt depth George provides, the Jazz may elect to make some roster moves in the offseason that could make him an everyday starter next year.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Efficient 20 points off bench
Rotowire
George ended with 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 win over Washington.
Perhaps most notably, George was able to play a team-high 29 minutes while Utah limited the playing time of their available veterans Wednesday. It's unknown if the second-year guard is at risk of receiving similar maintenance going forward that the other Jazz stars have gotten, but his playing time was certainly encouraging in this one. Across six outings in March, George has averaged 19.8 points, 4.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.7 three-pointers in 30.2 minutes.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Productive in return Monday
Rotowire
George (foot/illness) finished with 16 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 111-97 loss to the Bulls.
George returned from a four-game absence due to a left foot contusion and an illness, leading the Jazz bench in scoring. The 21-year-old guard is now averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 three-pointers in 31.4 minutes per game over his 54 appearances, but he's shooting just 39.5 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from downtown.

Rotowire
George (foot/illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.
George has missed four straight games, including the first half of Utah's current back-to-back set. Even if he's cleared to suit up, George would likely face some restrictions in his first outing in over a week.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
George (foot) will not play Monday against the Celtics.
Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so George will be held out to manage the soreness in his left foot after posting 25 points (7-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 33 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the 76ers. With George sidelined, Collin Sexton is likely to shoulder a hefty workload in his return to action.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Productive off bench in loss
Rotowire
George chipped in 18 points (4-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 9-13 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 118-109 loss to Toronto.
George was demoted to a bench role earlier this season in favor of Isaiah Collier, and that's not expected to change in the near future, especially since the Jazz continue to rest their starters on a regular basis. However, George has found a way to stay productive, and he's been playing regularly in recent weeks, which is something that can't be said about some of the other regular rotation members of the Jazz. The bench role isn't ideal for fantasy managers who trust George, but he's finding a way to get the job done. He's averaging 18.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 0.5 steals per game off the bench in eight outings since the All-Star break.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Ruled out Wednesday
Rotowire
George (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
The Jazz have several regular members of the rotation ruled out for Wednesday's contest, and George is the latest casualty, as an illness will keep the second-year floor general sidelined. Isaiah Collier will remain as the starting point guard, while Johnny Juzang, Brice Sensabaugh and Svi Mykhaliuk should also see extra minutes in the backcourt. George's next chance to play will come against the Raptors on Friday.

Rotowire
George contributed 30 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-10 FT), eight rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-115 win over the Rockets.
George helped Utah keep things close by scoring 20 points in the first half of Saturday's contest. The second-year guard finished with 30 points, which was his highest output of the regular season since Nov. 4 when he scored 33 points against the Bulls. George has averaged 18.7 points, 6.8 assists and 4.6 rebounds over 31.6 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Pops for 20 off bench Friday
Rotowire
George notched 20 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 31 minutes off the bench during Friday's 130-107 loss to the Thunder.
It's the fourth time in the last seven games that George has scored 20-plus points, and the second-year guard has adapted quickly to the second unit. He's scored in double digits in 12 straight contests, coming off the bench in all of them, and over that span, George has averaged 17.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.1 boards and 2.3 threes while shooting a respectable 44.4 percent from the floor -- a big improvement on his 39.8 percent mark for the season.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Leads Jazz with 23 points
Rotowire
George closed Thursday's 138-113 loss to the Timberwolves with 23 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three assists, one rebound and one block over 27 minutes.
The second-year pro led Utah in scoring while coming off the bench in favor of Isaiah Collier for the fourth consecutive game. Despite the move to the second unit, George has still received significant playing time, and he has averaged 14.5 points, 5.3 assists and 3.5 rebounds across 30.8 minutes per contest in that four-game span.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Decent display off bench
Rotowire
George posted 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 125-110 loss to the Bucks.
The Jazz have decided to bring George off the bench while starting Isaiah Collier, but that shouldn't lead fantasy managers to trade one for the other in most formats. George might have regressed a bit compared to his excellent rookie year, but he remains a capable performer. Between starts and non-starts, George has scored at least 15 points in five of his last six games, a span in which he's averaging 18.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Still out against Heat
Rotowire
George (heel) won't play in Thursday's game against the Heat.
George will be sidelined for a third straight outing due to heel inflammation, and Saturday's matchup with the Suns marks his next opportunity to take the floor for the Jazz. Considering Jordan Clarkson (foot) remains on the shelf, Collin Sexton figures to continue handling a sizable boost in usage from Utah's first unit, while Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang are likely to pick up additional minutes Thursday. Over seven games with George out of action in 2024-25, Sexton is averaging 21.1 points, 5.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.4 threes in 30.5 minutes.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Dealing with heel soreness
Rotowire
George is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to left heel soreness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
George missed four straight games to end December due to an ankle issue, but the heel soreness is new, though they may be somewhat related. Jordan Clarkson (foot), John Collins (personal) and Lauri Markkanen (back) have all been ruled out for the second half of Utah's back-to-back set, so George could have increased usage if given the green light.
