Collier won't return to Sunday's game against the Kings due to a right knee contusion.
Collier exited partway through the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest and will not be able to return. He concludes the contest with 21 points (9-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and a block in 24 minutes. Bez Mbeng figures to get extra minutes down the stretch with Collier out.

Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Harkless will start Sunday's game against the Kings.
Harkless will make his third start of the season. In his previous two starts, he averaged 2.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.5 minutes per contest. Harkless has logged 20-plus minutes in each of his last three appearances, scoring in double figures in two of those three games.
Konchar (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Filipowski (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Filipowski will miss his first game since Nov. 18 due to rest purposes, marking just his second time on the inactive list this season. With the second-year big man joining Jaren Jackson (knee) and Jusuf Nurkic (nose) on the sidelines, Oscar Tshiebwe and Kevin Love are candidates for increased minutes. Filipowski's next opportunity to play will come Wednesday in Minnesota.

Jazz's Ace Bailey: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Bailey (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Bailey entered the league's concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head during Friday's game against the Trail Blazers. The rookie first-rounder will have extra time to recover as the Jazz's next game after Sunday won't take place until Wednesday against the Timberwolves. Blake Hinson and Andersson Garcia are slated for larger roles in Bailey's absence.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Drops career-high 19 in loss
Rotowire
Williams logged 19 points (7-17 FG, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 124-114 loss to Portland.
The 19 points were a career high for the second-year wing. Williams has scored in double digits in five straight games as he handles a bigger workload for the shorthanded Jazz, averaging 13.4 points, 5.2 boards, 4.8 assists and 1.0 steals in a massive 38.0 minutes over that span. With Lauri Markkanen (hip) still sidelined and Ace Bailey exiting Friday's game early due to concussion symptoms, Williams should continue to get leaned on heavily in the short term.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: One dime short of double-double
Rotowire
Collier ended with 17 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 124-114 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Back in the starting five for the second time in five March appearances, Collier came up just shy of his 11th double-double of the season, which would have tied the total from his rookie campaign. The second-year guard missed a couple games last week due to an illness, but in nine games (five starts) since the All-Star break he's averaging 17.1 points, 6.4 assists, 1.9 boards and 1.6 steals in 26.6 minutes.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Pours in 31 in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Sensabaugh recorded 31 points (12-19 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 124-114 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Making his third straight start, Sensabaugh produced his best offensive performance since he erupted for 43 points against the Bulls on Jan. 14. The third-year wing has been very impressive at times this season when he's gotten a look with the first unit, and in 13 starts he's averaged 17.1 points, 3.7 boards, 2.5 threes and 2.4 assists in 30.1 minutes.
Jazz's Ace Bailey: Leaves early Friday with concussion
Rotowire
Bailey won't return to Friday's game against Portland due to concussion symptoms. He finished with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block across seven minutes.
The Jazz haven't confirmed that Bailey sustained a concussion, but his symptoms of the brain injury will be enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the contest. The rookie first-round pick will likely enter the NBA's concussion protocol, making it uncertain that he'll be cleared in advance of the Jazz's next game Sunday against the Kings. If Bailey ends up sitting out Sunday, the Jazz could make two-way player Blake Hinson active for that contest after he didn't dress for Friday's game.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Starting sans George
Rotowire
Collier will start Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
The second-year point guard will step into the first unit due to the absence of Keyonte George, who is expected to miss at least two weeks with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. As a starter this season (16 games), Collier has averaged 15.3 points, 8.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 31.2 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Blake Hinson: Not playing Friday
Rotowire
Hinson (two-way) is listed out Friday for the Jazz's game against the Trail Blazers.
Per the terms of his two-way contract, Hinson is eligible to suit up in eight of the Jazz's remaining 16 games, so Utah will opt to hold him out for Friday's contest in order to manage his availability down the stretch. With Hinson set to be inactive for a second straight game, 10-day signee Andersson Garcia is likely to stick in the rotation after playing 25 minutes in his NBA debut during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.

Jazz's Keyonte George: To miss at least two weeks
Rotowire
George has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain and will be reassessed in two weeks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
George went down with a hamstring injury during Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, and it'll cost him at least another two weeks. Isaiah Collier figures to hold down the starting point guard job until George returns to health.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Still out Friday
Rotowire
Markkanen (hip) won't play Friday versus the Trail Blazers.
Markkanen is expected to be re-evaluated soon, but the fact that he's still getting ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff suggests he's still not close. Until the Jazz provide a meaningful update on where Markkanen is in his recovery, he should be viewed as week-to-week.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Portland.
George suffered a right hamstring strain during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks, so it's not surprising at all to see him hit the sidelines for Thursday's game. Given the tricky nature of hamstring injuries, partnered with Utah's desire to try and keep their top-8 protected pick in the upcoming draft, this is something that could turn into a multi-game absence for George. Isaiah Collier will be the primary beneficiary while George is out.
