Available against Grizzlies Forrest (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Forrest sprained his ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Suns but will be able to play through the issue Friday. Since Donovan Mitchell (concussion) is out once again, Forrest could continue to see a slight uptick in playing time.

Utah Jazz sign Danuel House to another 10-day deal Team will now have to make decision on whether to keep House for the rest of the season

Out Friday Mitchell (concussion) is out Friday against the Grizzlies, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Impact There was initial optimism that Mitchell could return Friday, but he'll miss a sixth straight game. The Jazz will be without Rudy Gobert (calf) as well.

Sticks with Utah House agreed Friday with the Jazz on a second standard 10-day contract, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact House will remain with the Jazz on his third 10-day deal, the first of which came via a hardship exemption. Through the first three weeks with Utah, House has appeared in six games, averaging 6.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 19.8 minutes per contest. Once House's new 10-day deal lapses in early February, the Jazz will either have to sign him for the rest of the season or let him reach free agency.

Questionable Friday Mitchell (concussion) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Mitchell has missed the last five games due to a concussion, but the Jazz have been optimistic that the 25-year-old will be back in action this weekend. If he's forced to miss another game, Joe Ingles and Jordan Clarkson should continue to handle additional playing time.

JANUARY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Friday Gobert (calf) will not play Friday against the Grizzlies.

Impact While the Jazz maintain that Gobert's strained left calf is not overly serious, he'll miss at least one more game, and it would not be a surprise if he ends up sitting out Sunday's contest at Minnesota. So long as the All-Star big man is sidelined, Hassan Whiteside should continue to start at center. Whiteside posted a 16-point, 11-rebound double-double with two blocks and a steal in Wednesday night's 105-97 loss to the Suns.

Questionable vs. Grizzlies Forrest is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to a sprained ankle, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Forrest suffered the sprained ankle during Wednesday's loss to the Suns. He's seen real minutes since Donovan Mitchell (concussion) has been out, but Mitchell could return Friday, which would put an end to Forrest's small amount of fantasy relevance.

Could return over weekend The Jazz are optimistic that Mitchell (concussion) will return to action at some point during either or both of the team's weekend games (Friday at Memphis, Sunday at Minnesota), M...

Impact Spears' report suggests that Mitchell has progressed on at least some level since he entered the NBA's concussion protocol Jan. 18. Mitchell, who has missed the Jazz's last five games, may need to practice in some fashion Thursday and/or take part in the team's shootaround Friday morning to make himself available against the Grizzlies. If Mitchell remains out for another contest, Joe Ingles would likely stick in a starting role out of the backcourt alongside point guard Mike Conley.

Horrid shooting performance Bogdanovic (finger) finished with seven points (3-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes Wednesday in the Jazz's 105-97 loss to the Sun...

Impact Bogdanovic sat out Monday's loss to Phoenix with the injury, which was later diagnosed as a left ring finger avulsion. Though he's expected to take 4-to-6 weeks to fully heal, Bogdanovic plans to play through the injury while wearing a splint. He certainly didn't seem comfortable in his return to the lineup Wednesday, turning in one of his worst shooting performances of the season while also tossing his splint toward the scorer's table at one point during the contest, per Sarah Todd of The Deseret News. The Jazz provided no indication afterward that they plan to shut Bogdanovic down to let the finger heal properly, but fantasy managers may want to keep an eye on his shooting performances over the next few games to see if Wednesday's outing was an outlier or a sign of what's to come. Even at full health, Bogdanovic brings most of his value through his scoring, three-point production and free-throw percentage, so his outlook would take a significant hit if his shooting remains compromised while he plays through the injury.

Team taking cautious approach The Jazz continue to view Gobert's left calf strain as a minor concern, and the center is expected to resume playing before the All-Star break, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News repor...

Impact The Jazz's continued positivity surrounding Gobert's health outlook is promising, but since the All-Star break is still three weeks away, Todd's report hints the veteran center will likely miss additional games. Gobert has already sat out Utah's last two contests with the injury, and though the team is seemingly content to evaluate him on a game-by-game basis, he should be viewed as doubtful to play in the Jazz's next matchup Friday in Memphis. Hassan Whiteside posted a double-double in Wednesday's loss to the Suns while picking up his second start in a row at center, and he should be a worthy option in 12-team leagues until Gobert is cleared to play again.

Posts double-double in return Conley supplied 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and 10 assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 105-97 loss to the Suns.

Impact Conley was rested for the team's previous game Monday, but he was back in the starting five for Wednesday's contest. The veteran point guard finished with his second double-double of the campaign and fell one dime shy of his season-best mark. Conley's numbers are mostly down this season, but he is still a useful fantasy asset with per-game averages of 14.0 points, 5.3 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.4 three-pointers and 1.1 steals.

Continues strong work as starter Whiteside supplied 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 105-97 loss to the Suns.

Impact Rudy Gobert (calf) was once again unable to play Wednesday, allowing Whiteside to log his fifth straight start around a six-game absence while in COVID-19 protocols. The veteran center tied for second on the team in scoring and led Utah in rebounding while collecting half of the team's swats in the loss. During the five-game run as a starter, Whiteside is averaging 12.4 points, 9.8 boards and 1.6 blocks per contest.

JANUARY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lifts Utah off bench Clarkson chipped in 26 points (9-19 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 105-97 loss to the Suns.

Impact Clarkson returned to a reserve role after starting in Monday's loss, but that didn't hurt his offensive output. In fact, the veteran guard's point total was his highest since he scored 30 against Atlanta on Nov. 4. Clarkson has tallied 20-plus points in three of his past four contests.
