Sacramento and Utah will square off in a matchup of Western Conference foes

MARCH 15 • Associated Press

Not playing Sunday Konchar (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact Konchar will miss a third consecutive game while dealing with a left calf problem, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return to action. His next chance to play will come against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Out again Friday Konchar (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Konchar will miss his second consecutive game while tending to a left calf issue. His next opportunity to run the floor will arrive Sunday in Sacramento.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Konchar is out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to left calf soreness.

Impact Wednesday is Konchar's first absence since Feb. 5. Friday's matchup in Portland marks his next chance to play. The likes of Brice Sensabaugh, Cody Williams and Elijah Harkless should see an uptick in playing time versus New York.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Konchar is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to left calf soreness.

Impact The calf issue is a new concern for Konchar, who has played at least 26 minutes in each of Utah's last three games, including two starts. If the 29-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Brice Sensabaugh and Blake Hinson would be candidates for increased playing time.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Running with starters Konchar is starting Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Konchar will join the first unit Monday with Ace Bailey (illness) listed out. Konchar failed to score in 37 minutes during his last start Thursday against Washington, but he managed to contribute elsewhere by racking up five rebounds, four assists, five steals and one block.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Konchar will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

Impact The Jazz will move Oscar Tshiebwe into the first unit for this contest. With so many injuries in Utah, Konchar is likely to maintain a decent role with the second unit.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Joining starting five Konchar is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Konchar will enter the starting five with Lauri Markkanen (hip) remaining sidelined. Konchar contributed across the board in his last start Feb. 26 against the Pelicans, as he finished with four points, five rebounds, one assist, five steals and two blocks in 26 minutes.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Limited minutes in loss Konchar amassed three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Konchar not only moved back to the bench, but he also logged just 15 minutes, the fewest he has played since arriving in Utah. While his role is seemingly going to shift on a nightly basis, he did manage to rack up another two steals, bringing his total steals to 17 in his past five games. Given the uncertainty, managers should view him as nothing more than a schedule-based streaming consideration.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Enters starting lineup Konchar is starting Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Lauri Markkanen (ankle) is out for Thursday's clash, opening the door for Konchar to join the first unit. This marks his second start in three days. The 29-year-old finished with six points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals over 31 minutes in Friday's start against the Grizzlies.

FEBRUARY 21 • Associated Press

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.
