Keyonte George - Dealing with illness George (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers.
Impact George is under the weather and is one of several players on the injury report for Utah. If George is unable to push through this illness, the Jazz will need to rely heavily on Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton.

Jusuf Nurkic - Won't suit up Thursday Nurkic will not play Thursday against the Clippers with a toe sprain.
Impact This injury comes out of nowhere, along with several others on the roster with the Jazz submitting a lengthy injury report. Kevin Love is being held out for rest, and Lauri Markkanen (knee) is questionable to play. Both Kyle Filipowski and Taylor Hendricks could be heavily involved Thursday.

Lauri Markkanen - Iffy for Thursday Markkanen is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers with a left knee contusion.
Impact This appears to be a new injury for Markkanen after he previously battled a right groin issue. In his most recent outing, he finished with 22 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes against the Celtics on Tuesday. If he can't play Thursday, there will be more minutes available for Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Filipowski.

Chris Boucher - Could return Thursday Boucher (personal) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings.
Impact Boucher has missed three consecutive games while attending to a personal matter, but he could return for Thursday's road tilt. Boucher has not played since Nov. 23, so his return wouldn't impact the Celtics' rotation all that much.
