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: Still sidelined
Rotowire
Juzang (quadriceps) didn't play in Thursday's 116-113 preseason loss to Utah.
Juzang continues to deal with a quadriceps injury he suffered during Summer League action. Given he didn't play at all during the preseason, his status for the regular season seems murky, at best. Even when he's healthy, the second-year wing will presumably spend most of the 2023-24 campaign in the G League.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Juzang won't play in Sunday's Summer League game against the Rockets due to a left quadriceps contusion.
Juzang has been a focal point for Utah's Summer League squad, averaging 12.5 points across 23.7 minutes per game, but he'll be one of a handful of Jazz players sidelined Sunday. If Utah wins, the second-year guard will have a chance to suit up for the championship Monday.

Rotowire
Juzang (ankle) will play in Wednesday's Summer League game against Philadelphia, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Juzang has been battling a right ankle sprain during the early portions of the offseason and missed Utah's Summer League opener but will be available for Wednesday's tilt. The second-year guard figures to share backcourt duties with Keyonte George, Ochai Agbaji and Colbey Ross Wednesday, though it's unclear if Juzang will be limited by the injury in any capacity.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Scores 10 off bench
Rotowire
Juzang supplied 10 points (3-12 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Friday's 144-116 loss to Milwaukee.
This game was over in a hurry, so Juzang was able to get extended run in the blowout. He played minutes in the low teens in his previous two games, and he's a candidate to see more run in the final two weeks with the Jazz looking toward the future.

Rotowire
Juzang is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a left hip flexor strain.
Juzang played double-digit minutes in his last two appearances, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up against Milwaukee. If he's available, it's possible he sees a slight uptick in playing time since the Jazz will be without several starters.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Called up from G League
Rotowire
The Jazz called Juzang up from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars and are making him available for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
With Utah having already ruled out four players for Tuesday's game due to injury or illness, Juzang looks like he'll get the rare chance to dress for the NBA squad. The two-way rookie out of UCLA has yet to make his NBA debut and likely won't be part of head coach Will Hardy's rotation Tuesday.

Rotowire
Juzang was diagnosed Tuesday with a Grade 3 sprain (full thickness tear) in his right wrist and will be re-evaluated in 10-to-14 days, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Juzang, one of the Jazz's two two-way players, has yet to make his NBA debut, so he presumably suffered the injury during his most recent appearance for the G League's Salt Lake City Stars last Friday. In five outings for the Stars this season, the 6-foot-6 wing is shooting 36.8 percent from the field and is averaging 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 three-pointers in 29.3 minutes per game.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Moves to G League Salt Lake City
Rotowire
Juzang has joined G League Salt Lake City.
Juzang signed with the Jazz on a two-way deal this offseason, so this seemed a likely move at some point. Juzang should claim a regular role with the G League squad and will likely float between the two levels in 2022-23.
