Brice Sensabaugh Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Jazz vs L.A. Lakers game today with our National Basketball Association injury report.Nov 17, 2025
Heating up for Jazz
Sensabaugh produced 16 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 150-147 double-overtime win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh is suddenly heating up for the Jazz with four productive showings in a row. Sunday's game was the highest workload of his season, and he was a difference maker for the Jazz down the stretch. He's averaging 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in just 16.7 minutes per contest over his last four games, and he's gaining steam as a waiver-wire pickup.
Nov 12, 2025
Pops for 16 points off bench
Sensabaugh accumulated 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 152-128 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Pegged as a breakout candidate heading into the season, Sensabaugh's role has left a lot to be desired so far. He certainly has upside, but right now his minutes remain too low for him to make a consistent impact. Through 10 games, he's seeing 13.4 minutes per contest with 8.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.4 three-pointers. He's worth watching closely in case his minutes trend up after this gem of a line.
Oct 30, 2025
Fourth-year option exercised
The Jazz exercised Sensabaugh's fourth-year team option Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh is now in position to stay with Utah for the 2026-27 campaign. Sensabaugh has averaged 10.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in four games this season.
Oct 28, 2025
Fails to fire Monday
Sensabaugh finished with three points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Monday's 138-134 overtime victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh was a non-factor in the win, scoring just three points after having scored a combined 35 points across the first two games of the season. This can probably be chalked up to an off night for Sensabaugh, given his strong preseason and start to the regular season. Look for him to get back on track when the Jazz hosts the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Oct 23, 2025
Taking the next step
Sensabaugh recorded 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 129-108 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Senabaugh was first up off the bench for Utah, alongside rookie Ace Bailey. The two had very different nights, however. Sensabaugh had the hot hand en route to 20 points, while Bailey scored just two. Now in his third season, Sensabaugh hopes to continue improving his scoring average year-over-year. He averaged 7.5 points as a rookie and 10.9 last season.
Oct 14, 2025
Efficient off bench against Mavs
Sensabaugh produced 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and an assist in 19 minutes off the bench during Monday's 114-101 preseason loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Based on his preseason usage, the third-year guard appears headed for a role on the second unit to begin the season, but that seems to be suiting Sensabaugh just fine. He's averaging an impressive 22.0 points through three exhibition contests, including an 11-for-25 showing from three-point range and a 13-for-14 performance at the charity stripe. With Jordan Clarkson now a Knick, Sensabaugh appears poised to step into his sneakers as Utah's primary scoring threat off the bench.
Oct 10, 2025
Erupts for 26 points
Sensabaugh racked up 26 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 12-12 FT), one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 134-30 preseason loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh was red hot off the bench, scoring a game-high point total. The Ohio State product was lights out from the free-throw line, hitting all 12 of his attempts from the charity stripe.
Oct 9, 2025
Scores 24 off bench
Sensabaugh produced 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds, one assists, one steal and one block in 26 minutes of Wednesday's 140-127 preseason loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh came off the bench behind Svi Mykhailiuk to open the preseason, but lineups are highly unlikely to be set in stone this early. Sensabaugh was a key player down the stretch for Utah during the 2024-25 regular season, finishing with averages of 10.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 20.2 minutes per game across 71 appearances. He's projected to have a major role on the wings along with Ace Bailey.
Oct 8, 2025
Bench role vs. Houston
Sensabaugh will come off the bench (knee) during Wednesday's preseason game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh will be in the second unit, with Svi Mykhailiuk set to start. Sensabaugh suffered a knee injury during the Las Vegas Summer League, but has been practicing and could see limited time off the bench during the preseason.
Oct 5, 2025
Participating in practice
Sensabaugh is participating in practice ahead of Wednesday's preseason game against the Rockets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh missed time during Summer League due to a knee injury, but he seems to be healthy ahead of preseason action. Sensabaugh is coming off a strong second season, in which he averaged 10.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 20.2 minutes per game across 71 appearances.
Jul 18, 2025
No return for SL finale
Sensabaugh (knee) did not appear in Friday's 105-92 Summer League loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh lit it up at the Salt Lake City Classic earlier this month but didn't appear in any Las Vegas games due to right knee soreness. The Ohio State product will aim for a larger role in his third NBA season after averaging 10.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 45.9 percent shooting and 42.2 percent from three across 20.2 minutes in 71 regular-season games (15 starts) during the 2024-25 campaign.
Jul 17, 2025
Still sidelined
Sensabaugh (knee) didn't play in Wednesday's 86-76 Summer League win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh hasn't played in the Las Vegas Summer League after tearing up the Salt Lake City Classic earlier this month. He's been dealing with soreness in his right knee. It's not clear if he'll play in Utah's Summer League finale this weekend.
Jul 14, 2025
Doesn't play Monday
Sensabaugh (knee) didn't play in Monday's 93-91 overtime win over the Spurs in Summer League.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh has missed all three of the club's Summer League games in Las Vegas, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday against the Wizards. However, it's unclear if he'll play again in Las Vegas after appearing in the first two games of the Salt Lake City Summer League.
Jul 11, 2025
Won't play Friday
Sensabaugh (knee) will not play in Friday's Summer League game against the Hornets, Sarah Todd of the Desert News reports.
ANALYSIS
After scoring 37 points in a Summer League win over the Grizzlies on July 7, Sensabaugh will sit out for the second straight game due to right knee soreness. The Ohio State product's status for the rest of the Summer League in Las Vegas is uncertain.
Jul 8, 2025
Sidelined Tuesday
Sensabaugh (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Summer League game against the Thunder, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh will take a seat Tuesday with right knee soreness after exploding for 37 points in Monday's victory over the Grizzlies. His next opportunity to suit up will come Friday against the Hornets.
Jul 8, 2025
Erupts for 37 points in SL win
Sensabaugh ended with 37 points (9-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 13-14 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 27 minutes in Monday's 112-111 Summer League win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh exploded for a game-high mark in points in just 27 minutes, with 15 of them coming in the final quarter. He also attempted a game-high 14 free throws. Over two Summer League appearances, the 21-year-old forward has amassed 56 points and 11 rebounds in 54 minutes.
Apr 14, 2025
Paces team with 22 points
Sensabaugh logged 22 points (7-17 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz sat most of their starters in the season finale, giving Sensabaugh maximum usage in the season finale. The biggest takeaway for Utah is the solidification of its standing in the NBA lottery, where they now have a 14 percent chance to win the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes. Even though the Jazz have some talented frontcourt pieces, adding Flagg would be a great addition if the cards go their way. Sensabuagh averaged 10.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in his second season with the Jazz.
Apr 12, 2025
Hits for 25 in Friday's loss
Sensabaugh finished with 25 points (7-17 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 145-111 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Making his sixth straight start, Sensabaugh delivered his best scoring numbers since Jan. 5 while draining multiple three-pointers for the 10th straight appearance. Over the latter stretch, the second-year forward is averaging 14.8 points, 4.0 boards, 3.6 threes, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 47.4 percent from beyond the arc as the lottery-bound Jazz take a longer look at their depth players.
Apr 10, 2025
Continues productive stretch
Sensabaugh closed with 22 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 133-126 overtime win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh was among the most productive players for the Jazz in this overtime win over the Blazers, and the second-year forward, who was a first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, is enjoying a solid end of the season. He's started in Utah's past five games and has scored in double digits, averaging 15.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game over that stretch. Sensabaugh is widely expected to feature in the starting lineup in Utah's final two games of the regular season against the Thunder and Timberwolves on Friday and Sunday, respectively.
Apr 7, 2025
Scores 15 points in loss
Sensabaugh totaled 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 147-134 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz have been dealing with tons of injuries during the second half of the season, and reinforcements aren't coming for the final week of the regular season, most likely. That means Sensabaugh is likely to maintain a steady role for the final four games. He's been trending up lately, posting averages of 13.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 25.8 minutes over his last seven games.
Apr 1, 2025
Scores 19 points in loss
Sensabaugh finished with 19 points (6-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 110-106 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh entered the starting lineup Monday with Collin Sexton (pelvis) sidelined and made the most of his opportunity. He's been on an impressive run for the Jazz, posting averages of 13.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes per contest.
Mar 31, 2025
Enters starting lineup Monday
Sensabaugh is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Charlotte, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Collin Sexton (pelvis) sidelined, Sensabaugh will enter the first unit Monday. Across nine appearances as a starter in 2024-25, Sensabaugh has averaged 14.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 26.7 minutes.
Mar 28, 2025
Notches 17 points
Sensabaugh racked up 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and four rebounds over 24 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Sansabaugh's production for the Jazz has been pretty sporadic at times, but overall, he's been solid. Through 15 March contests, Sensabaugh has averaged 12.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.7 three-pointers in 22.3 minutes while shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 51.9 percent from beyond the arc.
Mar 18, 2025
Scores 13 off bench
Sensabaugh tallied 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes in Monday's 111-97 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh has been in a rhythm from beyond the arc, knocking down three three-pointers Monday. In his last 10 games, the 21-year-old has converted three or more three-pointers seven times, shooting 46.6 percent from deep during that stretch. Despite being sent back to the bench after a brief run in the starting lineup, Sensabaugh has remained a productive and efficient scorer for the Jazz.
Mar 11, 2025
Scores 22 points off bench
Sensabaugh contributed 22 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 114-108 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh surpassed the 20-point mark for the second time over his last six games, and he's posted double-digit points five times over that stretch. He's been moving in and out of the lineup, and he's benefited due to recent resting strategy the Jazz has employed in recent weeks. Sensabaugh is having a solid sophomore year in the NBA, averaging 9.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in 54 contests (eight starts) so far.
Mar 5, 2025
Enters starting lineup Wednesday
Sensabaugh is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz are effectively without their entire usual starting lineup Wednesday, so Sensabaugh will join the first unit. Over five games as starter this season, Sensabaugh has averaged 14.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.2 steals and 2.2 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes while shooting 45.3 percent from the floor.
Mar 4, 2025
Held scoreless in loss
Sensabaugh posted zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and two rebounds over 16 minutes during Monday's 134-106 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
After scoring 21 points Sunday night, Sensabaugh moved back to the bench Monday and wasn't able to generate anything on the offensive end. His production has been very volatile at times, though he's someone to watch closely in the final stretch as the Jazz begin to lean heavily on their youth with nothing to play for.
Mar 3, 2025
Moves to bench Monday
Sensabaugh is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Collin Sexton is back in Utah's starting backcourt Monday, pushing Sensabaugh to the bench against Detroit. Sensabaugh has reached double figures in scoring in six consecutive games (four starts), averaging 15.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.2 three-pointers in 22.9 minutes while shooting 47.5 percent from deep.
Mar 3, 2025
Pours in 21 points
Sensabaugh racked up 21 points (9-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-121 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz sat out most of their key players for rest and maintenance on the front end of this back-to-back set, so this performance was a bit of an outlier. As the season progresses, however, Sensabaugh could see his role continue to grow as the youth movement picks up speed in Utah.
Mar 2, 2025
Starting Sunday
Sensabaugh will start Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh will enter the starting lineup again due to John Collins (back) dealing with an injury. In his last three starts, Sensabaugh averaged 15.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.3 minutes per contest.
Feb 28, 2025
Retreating to bench Friday
Sensabaugh is not in Utah's starting lineup against Minnesota on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh has started in the Jazz's last three games, and over that span he has averaged 15.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 24.3 minutes per contest while shooting 42.1 percent from three on 6.3 3PA/G/. Sensabaugh will come off the bench for Friday's contest due to John Collins returning from a back injury.
Feb 25, 2025
Puts up 23 points
Sensabaugh notched 23 points (8-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz were missing several key players for this game such as Jordan Clarkson (foot), Collin Sexton (ankle), John Collins (back), Lauri Markkanen (back) and Walker Kessler (illness), so Sensabaugh stepped up and led the team in scoring. All of those injuries mentioned are day-to-day issues, so while fantasy managers will not want to overreact to this outburst from Sensabaugh, he could still find himself with a lot of fantasy value down the stretch as the Jazz turn their attention towards player development.
Feb 22, 2025
Getting start vs. Houston
Sensabaugh is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh didn't play in Friday's 130-107 loss to the Thunder, but he'll get a start here since the Jazz won't have regular starters such as Collin Sexton (ankle) and John Collins (back) available for the second leg of this back-to-back set. This will be Sensabaugh's second start of the season, and in the previous one he posted eight points, two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 27 minutes in a loss to the Warriors on Jan. 28.
Feb 8, 2025
Muted role in loss
Sensabaugh closed Friday's 135-127 overtime loss to Phoenix with four points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 13 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh logged no more than 15 minutes for the fifth straight game, playing a limited role off the bench for a team that is all of a sudden healthy. Limited minutes have resulted in limited production, following a stretch in which he had scored at least 15 points in five straight games. There will almost certainly come a point when Sensabaugh will step into a more sizeable role, although pinpointing that is going to be tough.
Jan 30, 2025
Back in bench role
Sensabaugh isn't staring Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh drew his first start of the 2024-25 campaign Tuesday against the Warriors, finishing with eight points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes, but he'll return to his usual bench role Thursday. He's averaging 16.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists as a reserve in January (nine games).
Jan 28, 2025
Making first start of season
Sensabaugh is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh will replace Lauri Markkanen (back) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Sensabaugh has come off the bench in all of his previous 34 appearances this season.
Jan 25, 2025
Officially good to go
Sensabaugh (ankle) is available for Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday after missing Utah's previous outing due to a sprained right ankle. With John Collins (illness) and Cody Williams (ankle) out, Sensabaugh could enter the starting lineup against Memphis.
Jan 24, 2025
Likely to play Saturday
Sensabaugh (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh is likely to return from an ankle injury Saturday following a one-game absence in Wednesday's game against the Thunder. John Collins (illness) and Cody Williams (ankle) has already been ruled out against Memphis, so Sensabaugh could be primed an expanded role. The 2023 first-rounder has averaged 20.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 3.7 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes while shooting 42.3 percent from deep over his last six appearances.
Jan 22, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Sensabaugh (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh was previously considered questionable, so fantasy managers can assume he's day-to-day going forward. His next chance to play comes Saturday against Memphis. Fortunately for Utah, Lauri Markkanen (back) and John Collins (back) will both be returning to action Wednesday.
Jan 21, 2025
Questionable for Wednesday
Sensabaugh (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh popped up on the injury report for the Jazz, as he is now dealing with an ankle injury. The 21-year-old is having a solid year in his bench role with Utah, averaging a career-high 10.2 points per game and career-high numbers in the shooting department at 46.4 percent from the floor and 39.5 percent from deep.
Jan 13, 2025
Puts up 16 points in return
Sensabaugh (illness) tallied 16 points (5-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and one rebound across 27 minutes Sunday in the Jazz's 112-111 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh was back in action for the Jazz after missing the team's previous three games with an illness. The second-year forward has now cleared 25 minutes in three straight appearances and is averaging 25.7 points on 56 percent shooting from the field and 55.6 percent shooting from three-point range during that span, but he's benefited from the Jazz being shorthanded in all of those contests. The Jazz were without Lauri Markkanen (back), Walker Kessler (rest), John Collins (hip), Keyonte George (heel), Jordan Clarkson (foot) and Johnny Juzang (hand), and once Utah gets two or three of those players back, Sensabaugh will likely see his minutes and usage take a significant hit.
Jan 12, 2025
Will play against Brooklyn
Sensabaugh (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh will return Sunday from a three-game absence due to an illness. He had scored at least 20 points in three of five games prior to his absence, and over that span he averaged 18.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 22.4 minutes per contest.
Jan 12, 2025
Deemed questionable Sunday
Sensabaugh is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets due to return to competition reconditioning.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old forward is nearing a return to game action after missing three consecutive contests due to an illness. With Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski (ankle) and Lauri Markkanen (back) all listed as questionable, Micah Potter and Cody Williams could be in line for increased roles.
Jan 11, 2025
Ruled out for Saturday
Sensabaugh (illness) will not play Saturday against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh will miss his third game in a row Saturday and remains day-to-day. His next chance to play comes Sunday against the Nets. In the meantime, Micah Potter and Kyle Filipowski could see additional minutes versus the Suns.
Jan 10, 2025
Questionable to play Saturday
Sensabaugh (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh has been sidelined for Utah's last two games due to an illness. It's bad timing for the second-year forward, who scored 20 points or more in three of the five games prior to his illness. Micah Potter and Kyle Filipowski would continue to see more playing time if Sensabaugh is unable to play Saturday.
Jan 9, 2025
Won't play against Miami
Sensabaugh (illness) is out for Thursday's game versus the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh will miss his second straight game Thursday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to an illness. Sensabaugh dropped a season-high 34 points in his previous outing against Miami, so Utah will need to look for scoring output elsewhere. The 21-year-old forward's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Phoenix.
Jan 8, 2025
Questionable for Thursday
Sensabaugh is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
An illness could cost Sensabaugh a second straight game Thursday. With John Collins (hip) already ruled out against Miami, Kyle Filipowski and Micah Potter would be candidates for increased playing time if Sensabaugh is also unable to suit up for the Jazz.
Jan 7, 2025
Ruled out against Atlanta
Sensabaugh (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh is coming off two incredible performances on the road. He dropped 34 points on the Heat on Saturday and followed that up with 27 during Sunday's game against the Magic. Fortunately for Utah, Lauri Markkanen will return to the floor for the Jazz on Tuesday night when they take on Trae Young and company.
Jan 7, 2025
Iffy due to illness
Sensabaugh (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh was a late addition to the injury report which doesn't bode well for his status. He's been getting a lot of run for the Jazz lately, and combined to score 61 points over his last two outings. If he's unable to play, the Jazz could use a committee approach to soak up his minutes with guys like Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk possibly benefitting.
Jan 6, 2025
Extends sizzling streak
Sensabaugh racked up 27 points (11-19 FG, 5-6 3Pt) and three rebounds over 28 minutes during Sunday's 105-92 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh was coming off a career-high 34-point effort in the 36-point win over the Heat on Saturday in the first leg of a back-to-back set, and he followed that up with another spectacular showing. Even though Sensabaugh's fantasy upside remains fairly low due to his bench role, he seems to be heating up of late after scoring at least 20 points in three of his last five appearances.
Jan 5, 2025
Erupts for career-high 34 points
Sensabaugh logged 34 points (12-18 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 136-100 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh was on fire in the win, compiling easily the best performance of his young career. He has now scored at least 20 points in two of the past four games. However, his total for the remaining two games has been just nine points. The Jazz are likely to be in the conversation for the number one draft pick, given they have only eight wins for the season. Although this effort is unlikely to repeat itself any time soon, Sensabaugh could certainly move into a more sizeable role at some point, if and when the Jazz call on their youth a bit more.
Dec 29, 2024
Sparks late rally during loss
Sensabaugh ended Saturday's 114-111 loss to the 76ers with 20 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh posted 16 points, four rebounds, two assists and a block in the final 15 minutes, leading the team during a late rally that ultimately came up short. Sensabaugh has bounced back and forth from the parent club and the G League during his two seasons with the Jazz, but Saturday's total was his best of the season, and the third-best of his career. Continued success in the short term will rely on the status of John Collins' (hip) injury, as his absence gives Sensabaugh more opportunity in the rotation.
Dec 11, 2024
Recalled to NBA
Utah recalled Sensabaugh from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Prior to getting recalled, Sensabaugh played 27 minutes in Tuesday's 106-104 loss to the San Diego Clippers. He notched 21 points (9-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal.
Dec 9, 2024
Scores nine points
Sensabaugh notched nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh made the most of his limited minutes in this blowout loss. He's played well so far this season and is hitting 46.2 percent from the field and 41.8 percent from beyond the arc through his first 17 games, but his workloads are still pretty low. He could see his value increase quickly if the Jazz end up being sellers at the trade deadline.
Nov 27, 2024
Steps up with 16 points
Sensabaugh contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 128-115 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
If Lauri Markkanen's (knee) injury requires him to miss more time, Sensabuagh should be in line for increased production. Although Sensabuagh had a quiet start to the season and has missed several games due to injury, but he's averaged 17 points over the past two games.

Impresses in loss to Spurs
Sensabaugh produced 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 22 minutes during Thursday's 126-118 loss to San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh hadn't played a game for the Jazz since Nov. 12, when he went scoreless across 10 minutes in a loss against the Suns. However, he came out of nowhere to deliver a season-high mark in scoring. Considering this was the first time he logged more than 20 minutes in a game, and just the third time he scored in double digits, don't expect Sensabaught to suddenly become a part of the rotation after just one standout performance.
Nov 8, 2024
Slides out of rotation
Sensabaugh played the final 3:25 of Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks, recording six points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and one rebound.
ANALYSIS
The returns of Jordan Clarkson (heel) from a two-game absence and Lauri Markkanen (back) from a three-game absence left no room in the rotation for Sensabaugh, who didn't check into the game until the Jazz were trailing by 24 points late in the fourth quarter. Sensabaugh had played double-digit minutes in each of the Jazz's first seven games, but he ended up losing his spot on the second unit to Johnny Juzang, who will likely remain ahead of Sensabaugh in the pecking order for the time being after drilling three three-pointers in his 16 minutes Thursday.
Oct 30, 2024
Contributes 11 points Tuesday
Sensabaugh racked up 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh posted the 10th double-digit scoring effort of his young career Tuesday, and he might be tasked with a slight uptick in usage after Taylor Hendricks suffered a season-ending leg injury. Sensabaugh has averaged 14.8 minutes while appearing in all four of Utah's contests to thus far.
Oct 21, 2024
Team option picked up
The Jazz exercised the third-year rookie scale option on Sensabaugh's contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh is now under contract through the 2025-26 season. He made 32 regular-season appearances as a rookie, including 11 starts. As a starter, Sensabaugh averaged 10.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 26.3 minutes per game. However, most of those came when Utah had already thrown in the towel and were resting players. Sensabaugh is expected to handle a minor reserve role to start the 2024-25 campaign.
Oct 19, 2024
Solid finish to preseason
Sensabaugh scored 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT) while adding two rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-86 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The second-year forward led all Jazz players in minutes and points on the night. Sensabaugh didn't have a regular spot in the frontcourt rotation until late February as a rookie, but over the last 25 contests last season he averaged 22.2 minutes a game with 9.0 points, 3.9 boards, 2.1 assists and 1.3 threes, usage and production he could match in 2024-25 as a part of the second unit.
Oct 2, 2024
Cleared to play
Sensabaugh (finger) has been cleared to participate in training camp this week, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh tore an extensor tendon in his left middle finger during the Summer League and was given a six-week timetable, so he likely had plenty of time to work on his game during the offseason. He made 32 regular-season appearances as a rookie, posting averages of 7.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 18.3 minutes.
Jul 15, 2024
Out at least six weeks
Sensabaugh will miss at least six weeks after tearing an extensor tendon in his left middle finger Saturday during the Summer League, Ryan Miller of KSL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh had three points, two assists and two rebounds for the Jazz before leaving Saturday's game for good. Despite this setback, Sensabaugh is likely to be 100 percent recovered in time for training camp. Heading into his second season, Sensabaugh could be a rotation player for the Jazz right out of the gate.
Apr 3, 2024
Role continues to increase in loss
Sensabaugh had 22 points (8-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 129-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
It's very likely that we've seen the last of Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) this season, giving Sensabaugh all he can handle as his rookie season draws to a close. The Ohio State product put up 22 points for the second consecutive game, matching the season-high total he accumulated on Sunday.
Apr 1, 2024
Scores career-high 22 points
Sensabaugh provided 22 points (6-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 127-106 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
With the season coming to a close, the Jazz will dive deep into their roster to see what they have, and Sensabaugh has benefited. The 2023 first-round pick has played with the first unit several times over the past couple of weeks thanks to Lauri Markkanen's (shoulder) absence, and he seems to have a secure future in Utah's future plans. Markkanen appears to be shut down for the season, so we will likely see some respectable stat lines from Sensabaugh as the season winds down.
Mar 30, 2024
Goes scoreless in starting role
Sensabaugh ended with zero points (0-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Friday's 101-100 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh replaced Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) in the starting lineup Friday but looked quite bad, going scoreless and not making enough contributions in peripheral stats. He looked outmatched while dealing with the frontcourt of Jabari Smith and Dillon Brooks, and it remains to be seen if he'll remain in a starting role when the Jazz take on the Kings on Sunday.
Mar 29, 2024
Starting Friday
Sensabaugh will start at small forward in Friday's game against the Rockets, eric
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh will replace Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) in the starting lineup. He has averaged 9.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 26.6 minutes in six starts this season.
Mar 21, 2024
Moves to bench
Sensabaugh will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Lauri Markkanen is back in the lineup after a maintenance day. Despite the move to the bench, Sensabaugh is likely to have a key role for the remainder of the season.
Mar 20, 2024
Back with first unit
Sensabaugh will start Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh will make his sixth career start, each of which has come in March. In his previous five starts, Sensabaugh averaged 11.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 28.0 minutes.
Mar 18, 2024
Returning to bench Monday
Sensabaugh will come off the bench for Monday's game against Minnesota, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh's run as a starter across Utah's last five contests yielded 11.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists while posting 48.9 percent shooting on 9.0 shots in 28.0 minutes per game. Lauri Markkanen's (quad) return following a six-game absence will likely resort Sensabaugh to a 15-to-20 minute role.
Mar 7, 2024
Thrives in first career start
Sensabaugh had 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-117 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh made the first start of his career due to the absence of Taylor Hendricks (toe), and even though one game is not enough to draw any conclusions, there's no question he looked impressive on both ends of the court. Sensabaugh posted season-high marks in both points and rebounds, and he might remain in the first unit if Hendricks is unable to recover ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Nuggets.
Mar 6, 2024
Gets first career start
Sensabaugh is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh will replace Taylor Hendricks (toe) in the starting five Wednesday. Sensabaugh played a career-high 21 minutes Monday and could see his playing time increase against Chicago.
Mar 2, 2024
Scores six pints in 13 minutes
Sensabaugh amassed six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt) over 13 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh played at least 13 minutes for the fifth straight game, continuing to serve as a meaningful part of the rotation. Although his production has been slightly underwhelming, he is a player to watch as we near the climax of the regular season. If and when he hits the 28-minute mark, he could be worth adding, even in standard leagues.
Feb 12, 2024
Available for Monday's game

Feb 11, 2024
Questionable for Monday
Sensabaugh (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS

Feb 8, 2024
Ruled out Thursday
Sensabaugh (hip) is out to face the Suns on Thursday.
ANALYSIS

Feb 7, 2024
Iffy against Phoenix

Dec 13, 2023
Rejoins parent club
Sensabaugh was recalled from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh has made just one appearance for the parent club, as he was held scoreless with two rebounds in two minutes during Utah's regular-season opener against the Kings on Oct. 25. While he'll be available off the bench Wednesday, he's unlikely to see much playing time.

Sep 29, 2023
Healthy ahead of camp
Coach Will Hardy said Friday that Sensabaugh (knee) is healthy and ready for training camp, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh spent the summer recovering from left knee surgery that he underwent in March. While he was unable to participate in Summer League action, he's healthy for the start of training camp this year. The 19-year-old will attempt to make an impact for the Jazz during preseason play but seems unlikely to have a significant role for the team to begin the regular season.

Progressing in recovery
Sensabaugh (knee) continues to make progress in his recovery and is ramping up activity, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS

Jul 16, 2023
Still out
Sensabaugh (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Summer League game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Sensabaugh hasn't played at all during Summer League while recovering from knee surgery. If Utah wins, he'll have a chance to suit up for the championship Monday, though that seems unlikely given the Jazz have been cautious with the rookie first-round pick thus far.

ANALYSIS
