Keyonte George - Questionable to play Saturday George (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Impact George missed Thursday's game against the Clippers due to an illness, and the questionable tag suggests a decision on his status will be made closer to the tipoff. George has been on a tear lately and is averaging 27.7 points per game since the beginning of December.

Kevin Love - Not listed on injury report Love (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Impact After sitting out Utah's last three games for rest purposes, Love will return to action Saturday. In eight outings (one start) during December, the veteran big man averaged 9.9 points and 5.8 rebounds in 20.1 minutes per contest.

Lauri Markkanen - Iffy for Saturday Markkanen (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Markkanen is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive contest due to a left knee contusion. If the star forward is ultimately ruled out, Kyle Filipowski and Taylor Hendricks are candidates for increased playing time. Over nine appearances in December, Markkanen averaged 27.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.6 minutes per contest.

Jusuf Nurkic - Questionable to play Saturday Nurkic (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Nurkic was unable to play against the Clippers on Thursday due to a left toe sprain, but the veteran big man has a chance to return for Saturday's road contest. Kyle Filipowski would figure to start at center for a second consecutive game if Nurkic is unable to play.

Ace Bailey - Won't play Saturday Bailey (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Impact The rookie first-rounder will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a left hip flexor strain. Bailey's next chance to play is Monday against the Trail Blazers, though he does not have a clear timeline for his return. Svi Mykhailiuk and Brice Sensabaugh should continue to see more minutes for as long as Bailey is sidelined.
