DREW EUBANKS NEWS

Still out Thursday Eubanks (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Jazz.

Impact Eubanks will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to a left ankle sprain. The 27-year-old big man's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break against Milwaukee on Feb. 20.

Not playing Wednesday Eubanks (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Eubanks sprained his left ankle during the Clippers' 130-110 win over the Jazz, and the injury is severe enough for him to be ruled out for Wednesday's contest. He hasn't seen many minutes at center since being traded by Utah in early February, so the Clippers could go with a small-ball lineup Wednesday with Nicolas Batum or Kobe Brown at the five when Ivica Zubac is resting on the bench.

Won't return Saturday Eubanks suffered a left ankle sprain Saturday against the Jazz and will not return to the game, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Impact Eubanks was traded to the Clippers earlier this week to provide some much-needed depth in the frontcourt for Los Angeles. Depending on how much time he may miss due to the ankle sprain, the team may have suffered a costly loss to the second unit. The 27-year-old big man racked up four points, three rebounds and one block in six minutes off the bench in his second game with his new team.

Traded to Clippers The Jazz are trading Eubanks and Patty Mills to the Clippers in exchange for P.J. Tucker, Mo Bamba, a future second-round pick and cash Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Eubanks is averaging 5.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 15.4 minutes across 37 appearances, including four starts, in 2024-25. The 27-year-old big man will likely compete for backup center minutes behind Ivica Zubac with Nicolas Batum in Los Angeles.

Won't start vs. Minnesota Eubanks will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact The 27-year-old big man will slide to the bench with Walker Kessler (shoulder) returning to game action. Over his last five outings (two starts), Eubanks has averaged 7.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 17.8 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Records four blocks Eubanks amassed 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Eubanks drew another start for Utah, matching his season-high mark of four blocks in the process. Walker Kessler is day-to-day with a shoulder issue, and John Collins is battling an illness. There's not a whole lot to like about Eubanks' long-term fantasy appeal, but he'll be on the streaming radar until the Jazz get some reinforcements back in their frontcourt.

Starting sans Kessler Monday Eubanks will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against Milwaukee.

Impact The 27-year-old big man will enter the starting lineup with Walker Kessler (shoulder) on the shelf. Over his last 10 outings (two starts), Eubanks has averaged 7.7 points and 6.2 rebounds in 19.0 minutes per contest.

Ejected Saturday Eubanks was ejected in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Eubanks was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul after delivering a shoulder hit to Zach Edey. Eubanks' night will finish with four points (2-2 FG) and one rebound over eight minutes. Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh should see more playing time off the bench for the rest of Saturday's game due to Eubanks' absence.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Monday Eubanks won't start in Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact After scoring a season-high 17 points in Friday's spot start against the Pelicans, Eubanks will revert to Utah's second unit in the return of Walker Kessler (rest) on Monday. As a result, Eubanks will carry minimal streaming value against New Orleans.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 17 points in spot start Eubanks contributed 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 136-123 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Starting at center for the resting Walker Kessler on Friday, Eubanks notched a season-high 17 points and four blocks while co-leading the Jazz with seven rebounds. Eubanks is now averaging 8.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks in 19.2 minutes while shooting 68.1 percent from the floor across his last nine contests (two starts). The veteran big man has proven to be a useful stopgap solution when Utah chooses to give Kessler a night off, but Eubanks could be hard-pressed for consistent fantasy value when the team's frontcourt is healthier.

Starting vs. Pels Eubanks is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact The Jazz will be extremely depleted in the frontcourt, and Eubanks will get the start at center due to the absence of Walker Kessler (rest). This will be Eubanks' second start of the 2024-25 season. He posted eight points, nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 31 minutes in his previous start, a 112-111 win over the Nets on Sunday, Jan. 12.

Productive off bench Eubanks accumulated 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Eubanks was two rebounds shy of recording his first double-double of the season Wednesday. With John Collins (hip) and Lauri Markkanen (back) both dealing with injuries, Eubanks should continue to receive increased playing time as a bench option in Utah's frontcourt.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins reserves Eubanks will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Eubanks drew a spot start Sunday while Walker Kessler rested, but Kessler reclaimed a starting role Wednesday and pushed Eubanks to the bench. Eubanks is averaging 5.0 points and 4.4 rebounds across 14.5 minutes per game this season.

Starting Sunday vs. Brooklyn Eubanks is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Nets on Sunday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Eubanks will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Sunday due to the absence of Walker Kessler (rest). Over his last four outings, Eubanks has averaged 5.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 17.5 minutes per game.

Season-high 15 points in loss Eubanks amassed 15 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Thursday's 122-120 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact With John Collins (hip) sidelined for a second consecutive outing, Eubanks notched his highest mark in playing time since Nov. 21. The big man also posted a season-high 15 points while leading Utah's bench in scoring. Over his last five outings, Eubanks has averaged 7.2 points and 4.0 rebounds across 13.4 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score in victory Eubanks produced zero points (0-2 FT) and three rebounds across nine minutes during Saturday's 105-94 win over the Nets.

Impact Eubanks underwhelming season continued Saturday, having now scored more than five points only five times in the first 22 games. To this point, he is averaging just 4.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per game, playing as a backup option behind Walker Kessler.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Saturday Eubanks (knee) isn't included on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Eubanks played just one minute and 30 seconds in Wednesday's 122-103 loss to the Nuggets before leaving early with a bruised left knee, but two days off between games apparently provided sufficient recovery time for him. The Jazz will get Lauri Markkanen (personal) and John Collins (knee) back from one-game absences Saturday but will remain without Kyle Filipowski (lower leg), so Eubanks should be able to stick in the rotation as the primary backup to starting center Walker Kessler.

Won't return Wednesday Eubanks won't return to Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a left knee contusion, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact The Jazz don't need another injury in their frontcourt, so losing Eubanks is huge in a game where they're already thin in terms of depth. Brice Sensabaugh should see more minutes in the frontcourt with Eubanks out, and this means Walker Kessler is the only healthy true center the Jazz have in their roster for the reminder of the contest.
