Starting Friday vs. Memphis Konchar is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Impact Konchar will make his second start of the season (and first as a member of the Jazz) due to the absences of Lauri Markkanen (illness) and Jusuf Nurkic (nose). Konchar's last start took place Jan. 21 as a member of the Grizzlies, when he logged two points, four rebounds, two steals and one block over 21 minutes in a 124-122 loss to the Hawks.

Strong defensive line Konchar ended with six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Bl...

Impact Konchar is not a scorer, but his ability to generate rebounds, assists and defensive stats can make him appealing in category formats. There are a lot of minutes up for grabs in Utah due to Jaren Jackson's injury and the constant maintenance of key players, making Konchar a player to monitor.

Debuts for Jazz Konchar ended with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 120-117 loss to the Magic.

Impact Konchar had a solid debut for the Jazz, and it will be interesting to see what kind of role he carves out down the stretch. The Jazz are clearly prioritizing player development over wins, so it's hard to imagine Konchar being a staple in the rotation every night.

Cleared to make Utah debut Saturday Konchar (neck/recently traded) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Orlando.

Impact Konchar was dealing with a neck injury that caused him to miss two consecutive games prior to his trade from the Grizzlies to the Jazz on Tuesday. He mostly served in a rotational role off the bench for Memphis before the move, and Konchar will have to battle with Svi Mykhaiuliuk, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski for consistent minutes off the bench. Konchar is averaging 3.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals over 14.5 minutes per game this season.

Not playing Thursday Konchar (neck/recently traded) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Konchar was traded by the Grizzlies to the Jazz on Tuesday as part of a larger package centered around Jaren Jackson. Konchar had been working through a neck injury prior to his move to Utah, and his next opportunity to make his Jazz debut will be Saturday against the Magic.

Moving to Utah The Jazz are adding Konchar (neck) in a trade centered around Jaren Jackson on Tuesday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Impact Konchar will battle with Svi Mykhailiuk, Brice Sensabaugh and others for reserve minutes at the wing positions for Utah.

Ruled out for Saturday Konchar (neck) will not play Saturday against the Timberwolves.

Impact Konchar will be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Grizzlies will be very shorthanded Saturday, so Vince Williams and GG Jackson could see extended minutes.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with neck injury Konchar is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to anterior triangle contusion.

Impact Konchar may have picked up the injury during the Grizzlies' 114-106 loss to the Pelicans on Friday, when he tallied nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes. He has averaged 21.4 minutes per game over his last five outings, and that playing time will be absorbed by GG Jackson and Vince Williams, assuming Konchar is ruled out for Saturday's contest.

Fares well off bench Konchar recorded eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Hornets.

Impact The Grizzlies are very shorthanded these days, and Konchar was able to take advantage of his minutes Wednesday. He's trending up in deeper formats, posting averages of 2.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 blocks and 0.7 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes over his last three games.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Friday Konchar is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Konchar made his first start of the season Wednesday but will slide back to a reserve role Friday with Jock Landale (personal) returning to the starting five. Over his past four appearances, Konchar is averaging 2.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.5 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Konchar will start Wednesday versus the Hawks.

Impact With Santi Aldama (knee) unavailable, Konchar will draw his first start of the season and he'll be joined in the first unit by Ja Morant, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells and Jaren Jackson. Konchar can rack up the boards and defensive stats when given the minutes, so he's on the radar as a potential streamer in deep leagues.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Makes return with light minutes Konchar (thumb) registered zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across five minutes in Sunday's 103-98 win over the Nets.

Impact Konchar was available for the Grizzlies for the first time since Dec. 7 after completing his recovery from surgery to address a torn UCL in his left thumb. He was held out for the entirety of the first half before he entered the rotation for a brief stretch in the third quarter. Though Konchar is a strong defender who's capable of guarding multiple positions, he'll likely be at risk of falling out of the rotation once the Grizzlies get one or more of their five other injured players (Ja Morant, Zach Edey, Brandon Clarke, Scotty Pippen and Ty Jerome) back in action.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Sunday Konchar (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Konchar will shed his questionable tag and return from a 14-game absence due to a torn UCL in his left thumb that required surgery. In 22 regular-season appearances thus far, the 29-year-old forward has averaged 3.0 points and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 51.0 percent from the field in 13.0 minutes per tilt.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Konchar (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Konchar has missed the last 14 games for Memphis, and the questionable tag suggests he might have a shot at returning Sunday. Konchar hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a torn UCL in his left thumb, and if he's cleared to return, he's likely to see minutes off the bench as a spot-up shooter.
