Juzang is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Utah Jazz's play-by-play commentator David Locke reports.
Juzang will move to the starting lineup due to the absence of Collin Sexton (illness). Juzang tallied 27 points, two rebounds, an assist and a steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Warriors. He's made just one start this season, where he posted eight points across 21 minutes in a loss to the Rockets on March 23.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Explodes for 27 points from bench
Rotowire
Juzang posted 27 points (9-12 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 loss to the Warriors.
Juzang has appeared in only 16 games for the Jazz this season, but he came out of nowhere with a career-high 27 points during the loss. The UCLA product has been a lethal long-range threat with the G League's Salt Lake City Stars, and he showed the same sharpshooting prowess Sunday with seven three-pointers. Juzang has likely earned himself additional playing time in the final week after this impressive performance.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Career-best scoring night
Rotowire
Juzang recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and three rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-122 victory over Atlanta.
The second-year wing shattered his prior career NBA scoring high of 11 with an impressive effort from long distance -- Juzang was just 2-for-14 on three-point attempts this season coming into the game. The absence of Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) has created an opening in the Jazz rotation that Juzang has done his best to fill -- in three of the five games Markkanen has missed so far, Juzang has played at least 20 minutes.

Johnny Juzang: On open market
Rotowire
Juzang, who missed the Jazz's 115-101 loss to the Rockets in the Las Vegas Summer League due to a left quadriceps contusion, became an unrestricted free agent June 8 after Utah renounced his rights, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Before sitting out Sunday, Juzang appeared in two Salt Lake City Summer League games as well as the Jazz's first four contests in Las Vegas, averaging 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 23.4 minutes while shooting 50.7 percent from the field during that stretch. According to Jones, the Jazz renounced Juzang's rights in order to free up cap space to sign Jordan Clarkson to an extension, but Utah still has one of its three dedicated two-way slots available and could use it to re-sign the UCLA product. Juzang appeared in just 18 games with the Jazz as an undrafted rookie a season ago and could once again be ticketed for extended time in the G League in 2023-24 if Utah elects to bring him back.
