Kelly Olynyk - Draws questionable tagOlynyk is considered questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Trail Blazers due to a right shoulder strain.

ImpactOlynyk has been nursing a shoulder issue recently but playing through it. It remains to be seen if that trend will occur Saturday. Omer Yurtseven and John Collins would be candidates for additional minutes if he ultimately cannot play. However, more clarity is unlikely to come until closer to game time.

Kris Dunn - Out SaturdayDunn (personal) will remain sidelined for Saturday's contest against the Trail Blazers.

ImpactDunn's absence will mark his third straight game missed. With Jordan Clarkson (thigh) also sidelined, the Jazz's backcourt depth will continue to be tested. Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker are the prime candidates for increased roles. Dunn's next chance to return will come Wednesday against the Mavericks.

Lauri Markkanen - Will remain sidelinedMarkkanen (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.

ImpactMarkkanen's absence will be his fifth straight game on the sidelines due to a lingering hamstring issue. As a result, Simone Fontecchio will presumably continue starting in his place. The veteran big man's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Mavericks.

Jordan Clarkson - Out againClarkson (thigh) will remain sidelined for Saturday's tilt against the Trail Blazers.

ImpactClarkson's absence will mark his second straight due to a thigh injury that has been holding him back. Ochai Agbaji started in his place Thursday, while Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker are also candidates to see increased run in his absence. The veteran shooting guard's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Mavericks.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker - All around performance in winAlexander-Walker logged a season-high 20 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven assists, five rebounds, five steals and two blocks over 36 minutes in Thursday's 101-90 victory over the J...

ImpactIn his fifth consecutive start, Alexander-Walker was finally able to break out in the scoring department, especially in the absence of Anthony Edwards (hip). In those five starts, Alexander-Walker is averaging 9.0 points, 3.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks across 29.4 minutes. As Edwards and Jaden McDaniels (ankle) continue to miss time, Alexander-Walker will likely see extended minutes and more starts until they return.

Collin Sexton - Efficient performance in lossSexton provided 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four assists and three rebounds through 23 minutes in a 101-90 loss to the Timberwolves on Thursday.

ImpactOver his last four games, Sexton is averaging 12.5 points, 3.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 22.8 minutes. While the backup point guard aims to improve his efficiency and consistency, Thursday was a step in the right direction. Regardless of his production, Sexton's overall workload appears to remain the same, and he will continue to lead the second unit for the foreseeable future.

Anthony Edwards - Unlikely to play SaturdayEdwards (hip) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

ImpactEdwards sustained a right hip contusion Tuesday against Oklahoma City and will likely be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup Saturday. Assuming he's sidelined, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Shake Milton and Troy Brown are candidates to see increased run again.
