Micah Potter News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Won't play Monday Potter (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Potter missed Friday's loss to the Pelicans due to an illness, but he's also listed as being in the G League, so perhaps he's aiming to get his conditioning up to speed. His next chance to play will come against the Thunder on Wednesday.

Out due to illness Potter is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Potter was coming off three straight starts, so the Jazz will have to shake things up in their lineup once again. Given that they'll be depleted in their frontcourt, expect Brice Sensabaugh, Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk to see an uptick in playing time with Potter, and others, sidelined Friday.

Getting starting nod Potter is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Suns.

Impact Potter will enter the starting lineup Saturday with John Collins (hip), Brice Sensabaugh (illness) and Johnny Juzang (hand) all out. Potter is averaging 7.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in 26.3 minutes across his previous three starting appearances.

Retreats to bench vs. ATL Potter will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact The 26-year-old received the spot start for Lauri Markkanen (back) in Sunday's win over Orlando, though Potter will retreat to the bench Tuesday with Markkanen returning to game action. Potter has received inconsistent playing time throughout the season, and he has appeared in three of the Jazz's last five outings (one start), during which he has averaged 1.0 points and 1.3 assists across 14.3 minutes per contest.

Starting against Orlando Potter is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Magic on Sunday.

Impact Potter will make his third start of the season Sunday due to Lauri Markkanen being ruled out with lower back spasms. Potter made his last start Dec. 23 against the Cavaliers and finished with a season-high 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes.

JANUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score in victory Potter closed Saturday's 136-100 win over the Heat with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one assist over seven minutes.

Impact Potter failed to score for the second straight game, continuing to play a limited role on most nights. Although he has started in two games thus far, Potter is averaging just 3.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 16.9 minutes per game.

Shifting to bench Potter isn't starting Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Potter drew a spot start Monday against the Cavs and came through with 11 points and seven boards in 26 minutes, but he'll return to a bench role Thursday with the Jazz choosing to roll out a smaller first unit. Potter is averaging 2.7 points and 3.8 rebounds in his last six appearances as a reserve.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 11 points in spot start Potter logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 124-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Potter received his second start of the season, filling in for John Collins who was ruled out due to a hip issue. He ended his night scoring a season-high 11 points, serving up an admirable performance. If Collins misses additional time as a result of his injury, look for Potter to maintain a meaningful role, be it off the bench or as a starter.

Starting vs. Cleveland Potter is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Impact The Jazz are switching things up in the frontcourt due to the absence of John Collins (hip), and Potter will get the nod at power forward as his replacement. The former Wisconsin alum has made just one start this season -- he notched nine points, 16 rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes in a loss to the Nuggets on Nov. 27.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Friday Potter (illness) is off the injury report for Friday's matchup against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Potter missed Tuesday's blowout loss to the Thunder due to the illness, though he'll return to action after the one-game absence. The two-way center appeared in three consecutive outings before Tuesday, during which he averaged 5.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.3 steals across 20.0 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Tuesday Potter (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact The 26-year-old big man will be held out of Tuesday's game due to an illness, meaning the club could take an extended look at Svi Mykhailiuk, Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks. Potter has seen significant run in his last three outings with Kyle Filipowski (lower leg) sidelined, during which he averaged 5.0 points and 7.0 rebounds across 20.0 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Tuesday Potter (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Potter has played at least 13 minutes in three straight games while Utah has been shorthanded recently, so his expected absence should open up a few more minutes for guys like Svi Mykhailiuk, Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks.

DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Potter (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Potter is typically an emergency depth option for the Jazz, but he's been logging a decent amount of minutes lately with so many injuries in Utah. If Potter is unable to go, it's possible that Drew Eubanks soaks up a small handful of minutes in the frontcourt.

DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to bench Saturday Potter is not in the Jazz's starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Potter started in his 2024-25 regular-season debut Wednesday against the Nuggets due to injuries to John Collins (knee), Lauri Markkanen (personal) and Kyle Filipowski (lower leg), and Potter finished with nine points, 16 rebounds, three assists and one block over 32 minutes. While Markkanen and Collins are available for Saturday's game, Potter could see some playing time off the bench due to Filipowski still being sidelined.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs 16 rebounds as fill-in Potter finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 16 rebounds, three assists and one block across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The two-way prospect made it out of the G League due to Utah's numerous frontcourt absences, and he was a direct fill-in for John Collins (knee) in the loss. He generated a nice rebound total despite Nikola Jokic's imposing presence, and he will probably stick with the prime-time club for a few games while Utah gets healthy.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Denver Potter is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Potter will make his first appearance of the season Wednesday, though it's unclear if he'll handle a big workload. He'll get the start at power forward due to the absence of John Collins (knee), Lauri Markkanen (personal) and Kyle Filipowski (lower leg).

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inks contract with Utah The Jazz signed Potter to a two-way deal Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Potter will return to Utah for a third consecutive season on a two-way pact. The 26-year-old averaged a career-high 11.6 minutes in a career-high 16 regular-season appearances last season, during which he averaged 3.3 points and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 42.9 percent from beyond the arc. Potter will likely spend most of his time with Utah's G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars, as he is buried behind a fairly deep frontcourt consisting of Walker Kessler, John Collins, Drew Eubanks, Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Filipowski.

Logs eight points form bench Potter finished Sunday's 127-106 loss to the Kings with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 20 minutes.

Impact The two-way player saw his minutes jump again off the bench, which is an important step toward viability for the team after wallowing in the G League for most of his pro career. The 6-10 Wisconsin product's contract expires in 2024, so he'll try to prove his worth with the team as the season comes to a close.

APRIL 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Called up by Utah Potter was recalled from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday.

Impact The Jazz will be shorthanded in the frontcourt Wednesday with John Collins (illness) sidelined, so Potter will provide additional depth off the bench. Potter averaged 3.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in 7.4 minutes per game over seven appearances with the Jazz last year but has yet to make his season debut for the parent club this year.

Headed back to G League The Jazz transferred Potter to the Salt Lake City Stars of the G League on Wednesday, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Potter hasn't played for Utah in the NBA since Dec. 20. The two-way big man should receive extended opportunities in the G League.

MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back with NBA club Potter has been elevated from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars and will be available for Tuesday's matchup against the Mavericks.

Impact Potter hasn't appeared in an NBA contest since Dec. 20 and has made only three appearances all season. However, he is back with the parent club Tuesday and will serve as an emergency depth option with Walker Kessler (illness) questionable.

Impact One of Utah's two two-way players, Potter made his first appearance for either the G League or NBA squad since Jan. 21 after a month-long recovery from surgery to address loose bodies in his right elbow. As his huge minutes total suggests, Potter didn't seem to be limited from a conditioning standpoint. The second-year center is expected to see most of his opportunities in the G League moving forward now that he's healthy again.

Impact Potter is unlikely to factor into head coach Will Hardy's rotation Tuesday, but he'll provide the Jazz with some depth in the frontcourt while Utah is without two other big men in Kelly Olynyk (ankle) and Udoka Azubuike (COVID-19 health and safety protocols).
