Jordan Clarkson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game as the team gets ready to face Minnesota on Saturday night. The versatile scorer is battling a groin strain. With Clarkson absent, Johnny Juzang logged a career-high 25 minutes on Friday against Atlanta, posting 19 points off the bench. Meanwhile, Utah's starting backcourt of Collin Sexton and Keyonte George combined for 35 shot attempts and 46 points. Producing offense will be much harder for them on Saturday against an elite defensive team like the Timberwolves, but they will be heavily involved in the attack and should get to solid numbers again.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) will come out of the lineup on Friday against Atlanta. The 2021 Sixth Man of the Year has suffered a right groin strain. With Kris Dunn (rest) also out against the Hawks, Keyonte George and Collin Sexton look set for a massive workload against one of the weakest defenses in the NBA. Talen Horton-Tucker, who's been back in the rotation for the last few weeks, might get an extended opportunity to impress as well. Utah also plays on Saturday against Minnesota, meaning there's a high possibility Clarkson will miss multiple games.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) did not practice with the team on Wednesday. In the aftermath of Tuesday's loss to the visiting Boston Celtics, Clarkson is tending to a right groin injury. It's unclear how much danger the status of the 31-year-old combo guard is in for Friday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks, but he should be considered questionable until the Jazz submit their official injury report. If Clarkson is unable to play, it would open up more minutes for Kris Dunn from Utah's second unit and further solidify the playing time of Collin Sexton and Keyonte George in the starting backcourt. After dropping at least 26 points with five threes in each of his past three healthy appearances, George will be a strong bet against a Hawks squad yielding the third-most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) isn't listed on the NBA's official injury report heading toward Monday's contest against the Washington Wizards. The veteran wasn't feeling well and didn't suit up on Saturday against the Miami Heat, allowing Talen Horton-Tucker to get more involved. Clarkson combined for just nine points in his previous two games, so fantasy managers may have concerns about putting him into their lineups. However, with Lauri Markkanen (hip) ruled out for Monday night, Clarkson could benefit significantly from a production standpoint.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday's meeting with the Miami Heat. A late addition to the injury report, Clarkson won't be able to overcome an illness in time to suit up. Over Clarkson's last seven showings, the veteran combo guard is gathering 14.3 points, 6.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.9 treys in 32.6 minutes per game, and his next chance to return arrives in Monday's tilt versus the Washington Wizards. With Walker Kessler (foot) also out, Kris Dunn has a chance at extended run as Utah's clear sixth man off the bench. Dunn is facing a tough assignment and is only averaging 6.7 points, 2.3 dimes, 2.3 boards, and 1.6 steals in 20.1 minutes across his latest seven games, though. Miami runs the third-slowest offense in terms of pace (99.1) and ranks seventh in defensive efficiency (110.3), so this isn't the most appealing setup from a fantasy perspective.
