Keyonte George News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz | FOX Sports

Solid off bench George accumulated eight points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 130-114 loss to the Kings.

Impact The Jazz struggled to keep up during Wednesday's regular-season opener, but George saw his fair share of playing time off the bench and was relatively efficient from the floor. He could struggle to see minutes as long as the Jazz remain healthy this year, but the rookie first-round pick showcased some potential during the preseason.

Drops five dimes off bench George tallied 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five assists, two steals and one rebound in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 103-98 preseason loss to the Clippers.

Impact George was one of Utah's three first-round picks in the 2023 NBA Draft. In Tuesday's preseason outing, the rookie guard showed his ability to be a primary ball-handler off the bench. However, George isn't expected to receive extended playing time to start the regular season.

Out for rest of summer league George (ankle) is set to miss the remainder of the Jazz's Las Vegas Summer League schedule, league sources tell Sarah Todd of the Deseret News.

Impact The Jazz haven't provided an update on the severity of the right ankle sprain George suffered in the second quarter of Wednesday's 96-91 win over the Nuggets, but the organization has apparently already decided that the 16th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft won't attempt to play through the injury over the next week. During his freshman year at Baylor this past season, George missed a game in late February with a sprain of the same ankle, so it makes sense for the Jazz to take a cautious approach with the rookie guard. George proved to be one of the more productive players across his three games in the Salt Lake City Summer League and three games in the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 18.7 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 26.4 minutes while shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from three-point range.

Goes down with injury George will not return to Wednesday's game against Denver with a right ankle sprain, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact George had to be helped off the court in the second quarter after turning his ankle. He'll finish Wednesday's tilt with nine points (3-10 FG) and four rebounds through fifteen minutes. Considering George has logged 33 and 26 points in his last two appearances, it wouldn't be surprising to see George be shut down for the rest of Summer League, especially with the right ankle being the same one he injured last year at Baylor.
