Rare triple-double in loss Konchar chipped in 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 156-137 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact With Ace Bailey (knee) joining a significant number of Jazz players on the inactive list, Konchar tied his season high in playing time and made the most of his increased minutes. The 30-year-old forward led all players in assists and grabbed a team-best 10 boards, recording his second career triple-double -- his first came with Memphis on April 10, 2022. He also tallied multiple steals for a fourth straight game.

Won't start versus Thunder Konchar won't start in Sunday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Konchar got the start in Friday's 140-106 loss to the Rockets, finishing with three points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 30 minutes. However, Oscar Tshiebwe will re-enter the starting lineup Sunday, sending Konchar back to the bench.

Starting versus Houston Konchar will start in Friday's game against Houston, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Konchar will make his first start since the 133-110 loss to the Washington Wizards on March 25. In seven starts throughout the 2025-26 campaign, the 30-year-old has averaged 5.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 blocks and 2.9 steals across 29.9 minutes.

Produces first double-double Konchar supplied 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to Denver.

Impact It was the first double-double of the season for Konchar, and his first since 2023-24 with Memphis. The veteran forward has seen a significant workload the last couple weeks with Lauri Markkanen (hip), Jaren Jackson (knee) and other members of the Utah frontcourt on the shelf, and over the last seven games (two starts) he's averaging 10.4 points, 6.7 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.1 blocks, 1.0 threes and 0.9 steals in 28.1 minutes while shooting 58.7 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent (7-for-17) from long range.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Poor defensive effort Konchar closed with six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 122-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Konchar failed to record a defensive stat, continuing what has been a quiet period on that end of the court. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 1.7 combined steals and blocks per contest, less than ideal for someone considered a defensive streamer. While he does still warrant some attention, should you need a boost in either of those categories, he is obviously not the most trustworthy option.

Not starting Friday Konchar won't start Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Konchar started Utah's last two outings but will retreat to the second unit Friday. The 30-year-old forward has averaged 4.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 21.2 minutes per contest over his last five outings off the bench.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 14 rebounds Konchar chipped in eight points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Konchar chipped in across the board, including a season-high 14 rebounds. Fresh off a 19-point performance, Konchar has put himself back on the standard league radar, albeit as a stream consideration only. For anyone seeking a jack-of-all-trades, Konchar is worth a look, if and when he is given the green light to take the court.

Ties career scoring high Monday Konchar accumulated 19 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 143-127 loss to Toronto.

Impact Making his third start in eight March appearances, Konchar tied his career scoring high, matching a mark he set Nov. 18, 2022 as a member of the Grizzlies. The 30-year-old forward hadn't scored in double digits since Dec. 2 during the current campaign, and his inconsistent usage and production make him tough to roster even as a DFS punt play.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Getting start vs. Toronto Konchar is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Konchar will slide into the starting lineup with Cody Williams (shoulder) sidelined Monday. Konchar hasn't provided much of a scoring punch of late, but he's managed to contribute on the glass and as a defender, averaging 5.6 rebounds and 2.0 steals over his last five showings.

Good to go Saturday Konchar (quadriceps) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Konchar is set to return from a one-game absence. He's likely to see a very modest role off the bench Saturday.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Impact It looks like Konchar will return from a one-game absence due to a right quad contusion. He played 13 minutes in Wednesday's 147-111 loss to the Timberwolves and finished with three points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal. Konchar could see an uptick in minutes Saturday due to the absence of Brice Sensabaugh (illness).

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy to face Philadelphia Konchar (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact Konchar is in danger of missing a second consecutive contest due to a right quadriceps contusion. His absence would open up more minutes for guys like Blake Hinson, Cody Williams and Bez Mbeng.

Ruled out for Thursday Konchar (quad) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Konchar will hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back, but he should return for Saturday's matchup with the 76ers. With Konchar out, there will be more minutes available for Andersson Garcia.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Thursday Konchar is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Bucks with right quadriceps soreness.

Impact Konchar returned from a three-game absence Wednesday and saw 13 minutes, but now he's expected to miss the second leg of this back-to-back set. It's possible Andersson Garcia sees a bit more run with this news.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 13 minutes in loss Konchar accumulated three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 147-111 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Konchar returned from a three-game absence and saw a modest workload Wednesday. The veteran is likely to be a fringe rotation player going forward with the Jazz leaning more on their youth.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Konchar (calf) is available for Wednesday's game in Minnesota, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Konchar may have his minutes monitored in his first game back from a three-game absence, but his return could mean less playing time for Andersson Garcia. Through 13 games with the Jazz, Konchar has averaged 2.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Konchar (calf) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Konchar was previously listed as questionable for Utah. The veteran is averaging 1.0 point, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.3 steals over his last four outings.
