Jordan Clarkson Injury News & Updates

Clarkson had zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and two rebounds across 17 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 win over the Magic.

Despite this dud for Clarkson, he may be on the streaming radar in deeper formats ahead of Tuesday's game against the Raptors in a low-volume week -- Miles McBride suffered an ankle injury and is scheduled to undergo an MRI. If McBride misses time, Clarkson and Tyler Kolek will be prime candidates to soak up some minutes.

Clarkson finished with 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block over 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 victory over the Raptors.

Clarkson continues to be a solid piece among New York's rotation, averaging 12.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.3 blocks across 23.8 minutes off the bench. While his efficiency from beyond the arc could improve, as he shot 23.7 percent in that span, his production has made up for it and is an intriguing fantasy option in deeper leagues.

Clarkson contributed 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and one block over 34 minutes during Saturday's 133-121 loss to the Magic.

With Landry Shamet (shoulder) exiting the contest early in the first quarter, Clarkson logged a season high in minutes and made the most of the opportunity. The veteran guard led the Knicks' bench in points, scoring in double figures for the third time over his last four appearances. If Shamet ends up missing additional time, Clarkson will likely continue to see a bump in minutes moving forward.

Clarkson posted 24 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during New York's 140-132 win over Miami on Friday.

The Knicks' role players were expected to step into a larger role on offense due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (foot), and even more so after OG Anunoby left in the first quarter of Friday's game due to a hamstring injury. Clarkson hadn't scored more than 15 points in a game this season, but the 2021-22 6MOTY showed off his scoring prowess against Miami while doing most of his damage from the charity stripe. Brunson may not travel with the Knicks during their upcoming five-game home trip, and with Anunoby now dealing with an injury, Clarkson and Landry Shamet are set to be thrust into larger roles on both ends of the floor.

Clarkson registered 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 win over the Grizzlies.

Clarkson tallied double-digit points for the fourth time in the past five games. While the recent scoring has been an improvement on what he was doing to begin the season, it is clear his role will be somewhat muted moving forward. Through 10 games, he has averaged just 9.5 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 16.3 minutes per contest.

Clarkson posted 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and two assists in 18 minutes during Sunday's 128-116 victory over Chicago.

Clarkson has been one of New York's most prominent figures off the bench, averaging 8.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 threes made. While he doesn't provide much value elsewhere, he can certainly score if given the opportunity, but his role among the offense is too inconsistent to warrant a roster spot in most leagues.

Clarkson finished Sunday's 115-107 loss to the Heat with eight points (2-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes.

The Knicks have been dealing with several injuries to open the season, so it's pretty telling that Clarkson has averaged just 14.6 minutes per contest through three games. With Tyler Kolek and Landry Shamet also competing for minutes in the second unit, it doesn't appear like Clarkson will see enough shots to warrant attention in most fantasy leagues.

Clarkson recorded 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 113-108 preseason win over the Hornets.

Clarkson managed to post a solid showing in his last appearance of the preseason. His scoring average has dropped in each of his last two seasons in Utah, but a change of scenery could certainly alter that trajectory heading into the 2025-26 campaign now that he's playing for a true contender.

Clarkson will start Monday's preseason game against the Wizards, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

With the Knicks resting their usual starters, Clarkson will start alongside Miles McBride, Malcolm Brogdon, Pacome Dadiet and Guerschon Yabusele. Clarkson played for four different teams before joining the Knicks, but this is the first time he's moved cities since 2019, so there may be an adjustment period for the veteran.

Clarkson finished with 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes of Thursday's 100-95 preseason win over Minnesota.

Clarkson has been heavily involved with the second unit to open the preseason, as he's tied with the team lead in usage rate at 27.3 percent. However, he's yet to find his rhythm, as he's shooting 40.0 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from the line through three exhibitions. That said, it certainly looks like he won't be shy on his new team.

Clarkson racked up nine points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across 15 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 win over the 76ers.

Clarkson suited up for his new squad for the first time during the team's preseason opener overseas. The one-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year will likely play a significant role off the bench for New York, as he could become Mike Brown's go-to guy in the second unit when it comes to scoring.

Clarkson intends to sign with the Knicks once he clears waivers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

The Jazz decided to waive Clarkson, but the veteran guard didn't have problems finding a new home for the 2025-26 season. He should add some much-needed depth in the backcourt for the Knicks, and Clarkson should see consistent minutes off the bench, either as a point guard or as a shooting guard. Clarkson, who averaged 16.2 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes per contest in 37 regular-season games in 2024-25, is also dealing with a foot injury but is expected to be healthy come training camp in the fall.

The Jazz and Clarkson agreed to finalize a contract buyout Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

With Collin Sexton also on his way out of Utah, the Jazz continue to pave the way in their backcourt for Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton. Clarkson proved to be a serviceable source of offense off the bench when healthy in 2024-25, and his services are likely to be eyed by contending clubs this offseason. Across 37 games last season, the veteran combo guard averaged 16.2 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes per contest.

Clarkson will miss the rest of the season for the Jazz after having a procedure to address the plantar fasciitis in his left foot, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.comreports.

Clarkson has been in and out of Utah's lineup over the last two months, which led to the team shutting him down for the rest of the 2024-25 season following a procedure on his injured foot. In 37 games played, the veteran guard averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, shooting a career-low 40.8 percent from the floor and 36.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Clarkson (foot) won't play in Thursday's game against the Rockets.

Clarkson will miss a second consecutive game, as he's been ruled out for the first leg of Utah's back-to-back set Thursday. His absence should open up more opportunities for Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh.

Clarkson (foot) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Clarkson has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to left foot plantar fasciitis. Keyonte George, Johnny Juzang and Jaden Springer are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Clarkson's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Houston.

Clarkson (foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Clarkson did not play in Friday's loss against the Celtics due to a lingering left foot injury, but he was able to return for Saturday's defeat to the Cavaliers, during which he logged 10 points, three rebounds, two assists and one block over 22 minutes. Clarkson's absence would likely lead to more minutes off the bench for Svi Mykhailiuk and Johnny Juzang.

Clarkson (foot) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

After missing Friday's loss to the Celtics due to a foot issue, Clarkson will return to the floor for the Jazz on Sunday. The veteran scorer is averaging 14.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals per contest over his last four games.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Boston.

Clarkson was a late addition to the injury report and won't suit up due to lingering left foot plantar fasciitis. His next chance to play will come Sunday against Cleveland. Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk could see a bump in minutes due to Clarkson being sidelined.

Clarkson (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against Boston.

Clarkson was a late addition to the injury report due to left foot plantar fasciitis, which has been a lingering concern for the 32-year-old all season. If the veteran combo guard is sidelined Friday, Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk could see a bump in minutes.

Clarkson (foot/illness) is available for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Clarkson will return to the court following a one-game absence due to planter fasciitis in his left foot and an illness. He's appeared in only two games since Feb. 26, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him held around the 20-to-25 minute range, especially considering he logged 24 minutes Wednesday and 23 minutes Friday.

Clarkson (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Clarkson was sidelined for the first half of Utah's back-to-back set but may return to action Monday. After missing 10 of 12 games due to a foot injury, Clarkson returned to action in Memphis on March 12 and made two straight appearances, totaling 31 points, six boards, five assists and four steals in 47 minutes.

Clarkson is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves according to left plantar fasciitis and illness.

Clarkson posted 19 points, two rebounds, three assists and two steals off the bench in Friday's loss to the Raptors. Unsurprisingly, the veteran guard won't play Sunday, as the Jazz are resting their ailing veteran with a lot of frequency. This means Johnny Juzang and Jaden Springer could see more minutes in the backcourt. Clarkson's next chance to play will come Monday against Chicago in the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Clarkson produced 19 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes off the bench during Friday's 126-118 loss to the Raptors.

The veteran guard led the Jazz in scoring on a night when Walker Kessler and John Collins (ankle) didn't play, and Lauri Markkanen got the entire second half off. Clarkson just returned from a seven-game absence due to a foot injury himself, and in two appearances since rejoining the lineup he's seen a slightly reduced workload as Utah focuses on trying to secure the worst record in the NBA.

Clarkson (foot) tallied 12 points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes Wednesday in the Jazz's 122-115 loss to the Grizzlies.

Clarkson returned to action in his typical sixth-man role after he had missed the Jazz's previous seven games due to left foot plantar fasciitis. He provided some decent contributions across the board, but Clarkson may not have much of an opportunity to see his minutes and production take a dramatic step forward unless starting shooting guard Collin Sexton misses time.

Clarkson (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Clarkson will return Wednesday from a seven-game absence due to a foot injury. He started in six of 10 games prior to his foot injury, and over that span he averaged 18.8 points, 4.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds over 31.0 minutes. Clarkson's return will likely result in less minutes for Jaden Springer (back) and Johnny Juzang.

Clarkson (foot) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Clarkson will miss a fifth straight game for the Jazz as he deals with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Utah will again be very shorthanded, with fellow stars John Collins (back) and Lauri Markkanen (back) also sitting out for this matchup in Toronto. Isaiah Collier and Keyonte George (illness), if cleared, will be candidates to shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will miss a fourth straight game for the Jazz as he deals with a left foot issue. Utah will be shorthanded for Wednesday's game in Washington, with several players ruled out. The struggling franchise will likely have to turn to Isaiah Collier and Keyonte George to shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Clarkson (foot) won't play Monday against the Pistons.

Clarkson will miss his third straight game due to plantar fasciitis management, and it's unclear if he'll be able to return Wednesday against the Wizards. In the meantime, Isaiah Collier and Keyonte George are likely to continue to log heavy minutes in the backcourt.

Clarkson (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Clarkson will miss a second straight game due to a foot injury, and the Jazz aren't aiming to rush the veteran guard as he works his way back to the court. His next chance to play will come against the Pistons on Monday.

Clarkson (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

Clarkson was listed as questionable due to left foot plantar fasciitis management, and the Jazz are taking the safe route with him and giving him the night off. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Pelicans. With Clarkson out, Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Clarkson is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota due to left foot plantar fasciitis management.

Clarkson was a late addition to the injury report due to lingering left foot plantar fasciitis. The combo guard has appeared in two of the club's last five outings due to the foot injury, and if he's sidelined against the Timberwolves, Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Clarkson racked up two points (1-14 FG, 0-8 3Pt), six assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 118-101 loss to Sacramento.

Clarkson had an opportunity to put on a show Wednesday, as he got the start for the Jazz for the ninth time this season. However, he had arguably his worst performance of the 2024-25 campaign, going 1-for-14 from the field. Although the veteran scorer is having a decent year in Utah, averaging 16.6 points per game, mainly in a reserve role, performances like this are not ideal from a fantasy perspective.

Clarkson (foot) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson has missed Utah's past two games due to a foot injury, but the stage is set for him to be available for Wednesday. Over his last eight appearances for the Jazz, the veteran guard has averaged 20.5 points, 3.6 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 3.9 three-pointers in 29.5 minutes while shooting 43.7 percent from deep.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Clarkson has been managing a left foot injury that will keep him out of action for a second straight game.

Clarkson's next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Kings.

Clarkson has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Rockets due to left plantar fasciitis injury management.

Clarkson logged 19 points in Utah's 130-107 loss to the Thunder on Friday. He's still managing a left foot injury that has caused him to miss 22 games since mid-November, and he'll sit out of the Jazz's second leg of a back-to-back set Saturday. Keyonte George will likely enter the Jazz's starting lineup due to the absences of Clarkson and Collin Sexton (ankle).

Clarkson (foot) recorded 19 points (7-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes in Friday's 130-107 loss to the Thunder.

Clarkson sat out the Jazz's final game before the All-Star break Feb. 13 versus the Clippers due to left foot plantar fasciitis management, but as expected, he was ready to play to begin the second half. He's now started in each of his last five appearances and is averaging 22.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 4.2 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes per contest, but he'll likely move to the bench and see both his minutes and production trend down once Collin Sexton (ankle) is ready to play. Friday's contest marked the front end of a back-to-back set, so Clarkson could be a candidate to sit out Saturday's game against the Rockets to receive maintenance for his left foot.

Clarkson (foot) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Clarkson missed the Jazz' final game before the All-Star break, but he recovered during the days in which there weren't any games and should be a reliable offensive weapon for the Jazz regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. Clarkson is averaging 21.5 points per game in six February appearances.

Clarkson is out for Thursday's game versus the Clippers due to left foot Plantar Fascitis injury management.

Clarkson will sit out the second leg of Utah's back-to-back Thursday due to left foot Plantar Fascitis. With Collin Sexton (ankle) still out, Keyonte George will likely receive increased playing time. Clarkson should be able to return to action against the Thunder on Feb. 21.

Clarkson provided 21 points (7-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-8 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 131-119 win over the Lakers.

While it was a little bit surprising Clarkson wasn't dealt at the trade deadline, the veteran guard has been giving the Jazz valuable minutes in February. He's started four of the last five games while Collin Sexton (ankle) has been sidelined, and over that stretch Clarkson has averaged 23.0 points, 4.8 assists, 4.3 boards and 4.3 threes in 31.3 minutes a contest while shooting 45.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Clarkson registered 24 points (8-19 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 130-110 loss to the Clippers.

The veteran swingman received the starting nod with Lauri Markkanen (back) sidelined, logging a team-high 24 points in the loss. Clarkson also sank a season-high six triples, and he has recorded 14 outings with three or more three-pointers. The 32-year-old has supplied 16 or more points in each of his last five outings (two starts), during which he has averaged 21.6 points, 3.2 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 29.6 minutes per contest.

Clarkson will be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Clarkson (foot) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Nuggets.

Clarkson will return to action Saturday after missing Denver's previous contest due to a left foot issue. Across his past five outings, Clarkson is averaging 19.4 points, 3.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 27.2 minutes.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against Phoenix.

Clarkson is likely sitting out Friday because the Jazz have a back-to-back through Saturday, and the team is slowly easing him back in his return from a 10-game absence due to his foot injury. With Collin Sexton (ankle) also out, expect Johnny Juzang to see a larger role until either Sexton or Clarkson return.

Clarkson racked up 31 points (10-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 131-128 win over the Warriors.

Clarkson made his fourth start of the season in place of the injured Collin Sexton (ankle) on Wednesday, making an immediate impact with a season-high 31 points. As a starter this season, Clarkson has averaged 18.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 threes in 21.5 minutes. The veteran combo guard should see a bump in usage if the move to first unit sticks going forward, potentially bolstering his fantasy value while Sexton is sidelined.

Clarkson registered 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes off the bench during Monday's 112-111 loss to Indiana.

The veteran guard played more than 25 minutes for the first time in four appearances since returning from a foot issue that cost Clarkson most of January, and he turned the increased workload into his best scoring effort since he hung 25 points on the Knicks on Jan. 1. Collin Sexton sprained his ankle early Monday and never returned to the court, but it's not clear yet if Utah will shift Clarkson into the starting five should Sexton face a prolonged absence, or if he'll continue to anchor the second unit.

Clarkson (foot) is absent from Utah's injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

Clarkson sat out the closing end of a back-to-back Tuesday due to left foot injury management and, as expected, he'll be good to face Minnesota. Considering he had missed 10 consecutive games before the back-to-back set, expect Clarkson to have his minutes monitored.

Clarkson (foot) is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

After Clarkson played 22 minutes in Monday's loss to Milwaukee in his return from a 10-game absence, the Jazz will hold the veteran guard out of action Tuesday as injury management for his left foot. The Jazz should lean on Collin Sexton and Keyonte George for the bulk of the backcourt minutes against Golden State, and Isaiah Collier should continue to play a more pronounced role.

Clarkson (foot) recorded 13 points (4-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists and three rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench Monday in the Jazz's 125-110 loss to the Bucks.

After missing Utah's last 10 games due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot, Clarkson was cleared to play Monday and filled his familiar sixth-man role. The 32-year-old was sharp from downtown, but an 0-for-4 showing from two-point range took a bigger scoring night off the table. Monday's contest represented the front end of a back-to-back set for the Jazz, so Clarkson could be a candidate to sit for maintenance purposes Tuesday versus the Warriors.

Clarkson (foot) will be available for Monday's game against the Bucks.

After 10 consecutive games on the shelf, Clarkson will shed his questionable tag and will be back in the rotation Monday. He could have restrictions, however, and the Jazz could hold him out Tuesday against the Warriors for injury management based on how they've operated as a franchise this season.

Clarkson (foot) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson was diagnosed with a torn plantar fascia in his left foot Jan. 6, which has prevented him from playing in Utah's last 10 games. He appears to be progressing well enough in his recovery to be given the questionable tag for Monday's contest. Clarkson has played in 22 games (three starts) and is averaging 16.0 points, 3.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds over 25.5 minutes per game.

Clarkson underwent an MRI on his left foot Monday which confirmed a torn plantar fascia, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Clarkson played just three minutes against the Heat on Saturday before leaving due to a left foot injury, and the MRI on Monday confirmed the severity of the injury. Johnny Juzang, Isaiah Collier, Patty Mills and Brice Sensabaugh all have an opportunity to establish a larger role for themselves over the next two weeks while Clarkson is sidelined.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson lasted only a few minutes during Saturday's game against Miami before being ruled out due to left plantar fasciitis. It's not a surprise to see the veteran guard ruled out for the second half of Utah's back-to-back set, but it's unclear how long Clarkson will be sidelined. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Hawks. In his absence, Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang are candidates for increased roles, especially if Keyonte George (heel) is also ruled out.

Clarkson won't return to Saturday's game against Miami due to left Plantar Fasciitis, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports. He finished with two points and one assist in three minutes.

Clarkson logged just a few minutes before leaving the game for good. Saturday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and this news doesn't bode well for Clarkson's status Sunday against Orlando. Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier could see an uptick in minutes in the meantime.

Clarkson racked up 24 points (7-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 132-121 loss to the Nuggets.

Clarkson returned to the bench after starting in the loss to the 76ers on Saturday, and he delivered another 20-point performance. Since returning from a seven-game absence due to plantar fasciitis, Clarkson has been nothing short of excellent. He's reached the 20-point mark in four of his last seven contests, averaging 18.6 points, 4.6 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game despite coming off the bench in all but one of those contests.

Clarkson is not in the Jazz's starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Clarkson started in Saturday's 114-111 loss to the 76ers and finished with 17 points, four assists, three rebounds and one block over 30 minutes. He will return to the bench for Monday's contest while Johnny Juzang enters the Jazz's starting five.

Clarkson finished with 17 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 30 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 loss to Philadelphia.

Clarkson found his way off the injury report and logged a start in lace of Keyonte George (ankle), who remains out with an ankle injury. Clarkson's skill and vast experience makes him an obvious start over Isaiah Collier, who is a talented rookie but is still developing. Clarkson will log quality minutes as George works himself back to action, and he'll eventually revert back to his sixth-man role with the team.

Clarkson is starting against the 76ers on Saturday, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Clarkson will make his third start of the regular season Saturday and his first since Oct. 31. He's averaged 17.8 points, 4.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals over 26.4 points per game over his last five outings.

Clarkson (foot) is available for Saturday's game against Philadelphia.

Clarkson has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, but the issue won't prevent him from suiting up Saturday.

Clarkson (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Clarkson was sidelined for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers due to left foot plantar fasciitis, which is an injury that caused him to miss seven games earlier in the regular season. It's not clear whether him missing Thursday's game was to manage the injury or if it was due to aggravation.

Clarkson is out for Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a left foot plantar fasciitis.

Clarkson missed seven straight games earlier this season due to left foot plantar fasciitis and appears to have aggravated the injury. Johnny Juzang, Brice Sensabaugh, Isaiah Collier and Svi Mykhailiuk are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Clarkson's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia.

Clarkson accumulated 27 points (7-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 124-113 loss to Cleveland.

Clarkson set a new season-high mark of 27 points, taking advantage of some injuries in Utah -- Keyonte George (ankle) and John Collins (hip) were both held out with minor issues. Clarkson is going to be a popular trade candidate, as he's a proven veteran scorer who is owed $14.09 million this season and $14.28 million in 2025-26.

Clarkson was ejected in the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Pistons, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. He'll finish the game with three points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five assists, one rebound, one block and one steal across 14 minutes.

The veteran guard and Ron Holland were both tossed with barely over a minute remaining in the third following a scuffle. With Clarkson sidelined, Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates for increased roles the rest of the way.

Clarkson ended Monday's 144-107 loss to the Clippers with 20 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two assists and one steal over 23 minutes.

Despite missing seven games in a row between Nov. 26 and Dec. 8 due to left plantar fasciitis, Clarkson hasn't missed a beat and has scored at least 20 points in his two appearances since returning to the hardwood. The veteran isn't expected to start any time soon, as the Jazz are set with Keyonte George and Collin Sexton as their starting backcourt. However, Clarkson remains a reliable fantasy option in most formats due to his scoring prowess and high usage rate off the bench. The foot injury he's dealing with doesn't appear to be slowing him down.

Clarkson (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Clarkson was upgraded to probable earlier in the day, so this news was expected. He's coming off a strong 23-point performance Friday against the Suns.

Clarkson (foot) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Clarkson was originally listed as questionable after returning from a seven-game absence Friday. He looked sharp in that contest, notching 23 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal in 31 minutes against the Suns.

Clarkson is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to left plantar fasciitis.

Clarkson returned from a seven-game absence due to plantar fasciitis Friday, but he finds himself on the injury report once again ahead of Monday's game. If he is unable to go, Johnny Juzang could see an uptick in minutes again.

Clarkson ended with 23 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench during Friday's 134-126 loss to the Suns.

The veteran guard led the Jazz in scoring on the night as he saw his first action since Nov. 23. Clarkson missed seven games while dealing with a flare-up of his plantar fasciitis, but Utah didn't baby him in his return as the 31 minutes were a season-high workload for the 32-year-old. He's had trouble staying healthy to begin the season, suiting up for only 14 of the Jazz's 24 contests, but he appears ready to handle his usual role as the leader of the second unit.

Clarkson (foot) is good to go for Friday's matchup with the Suns, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson was given a probable designation prior to the game, rendering this news unsurprising. The veteran guards is returning after missing the team's previous seven games. Thus, it is possible the team will ease him back into the swing of things. He has averaged 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists across 28.2 minutes per game this season.

Clarkson (foot) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Suns.

Clarkson will likely give it a go Friday after being upgraded from questionable to probable due to left foot plantar fasciitis. The veteran guard has missed seven consecutive outings, though the probable tag suggests he is preparing for a return to game action. In his last five appearances, Clarkson has averaged 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists across 28.2 minutes per contest.

Clarkson (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.

Clarkson has been sidelined since Nov. 23 with left plantar fasciitis, and the injury has caused him to miss the Jazz's last seven games, and eight of the previous nine. If he's unable to return to the hardwood, expect Johnny Juzang to continue experiencing an uptick in minutes off the bench.

Clarkson (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Kings, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will miss a seventh consecutive game due to a nagging injury, as he's dealing with left plantar fasciitis. Johnny Juzang has been experiencing an uptick in minutes with Clarkson out, and that should be the case again Sunday. Clarkson's next chance to play will come against the Suns on Friday, Dec. 13.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, KSL Sports reports.

Clarkson is set to miss his sixth consecutive outing due to left plantar fasciitis. In the veteran guard's absence, Brice Sensabaugh, Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier are candidates to see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson is set to miss his fifth straight game due to left foot plantar fasciitis, and his next opportunity to play will be Friday against the Trail Blazers. Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier will continue to see increased minutes off the bench due to Clarkson's injury.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Clarkson will miss his fourth consecutive matchup due to left plantar fasciitis. The veteran guard doesn't have a clear timetable for a return, though his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Thunder. With Clarkson sidelined, Johnny Juzang, Svi Mykhailiuk and Isaiah Collier will likely see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will be sidelined for a third straight game due to a foot injury, and while his next opportunity to play will be Sunday against the Lakers, the veteran guard doesn't have a timetable for his return. Johnny Juzang, Brice Sensabaugh and Isaiah Collier will continue to see increased playing time off the bench due to Clarkson's injury.

Clarkson (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Nuggets.

This will be Clarkson's third absence in his last four games, and he remains without a timetable for a return. Isaiah Collier, Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh could see plenty of minutes for the shorthanded Jazz on Wednesday evening.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Clarkson will be sidelined Tuesday for the second time in three games due to injury management for left foot plantar fasciitis, but the 11th-year guard could be available for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang are likely to see an uptick in playing time Tuesday due to Clarkson's injury.

Clarkson (foot) is available for Saturday's game versus the Knicks, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Clarkson will return to action Saturday after being upgraded from questionable to available despite dealing with left foot plantar fasciitis. Clarkson is averaging 18.4 points, 4.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 29.2 minutes across his last five appearances.

Clarkson (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks.

Clarkson missed his first game since Nov. 4 while dealing with plantar fasciitis, and his presence in Saturday's contest is far from secure. Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier are candidates to see extra minutes off the bench in case Clarkson doesn't suit up vs. New York.

Clarkson (foot) is out for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Clarkson is dealing with left plantar fasciitis and was downgraded to doubtful earlier Thursday, and the veteran has been ruled out altogether. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Knicks. Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier are candidates to see extra minutes off the bench with Clarkson ruled out.

Clarkson (foot) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Spurs.

Clarkson has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful Thursday due to left foot plantar fasciitis. In the veteran guard's expected absence, Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Clarkson is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs due to left plantar fasciitis.

Clarkson missed two games to start November due to the injury but has appeared in seven straight games since then, averaging 18.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.3 minutes per game. If Clarkson is sidelined again, Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang would be candidates for increased roles.

Clarkson closed with 21 points (7-17 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Clippers.

Clarkson might have come off the bench in this one, as Collin Sexton and Keyonte George are entrenched as the starting backcourt, but that didn't stop the veteran from being the Jazz's highest-scorer in this 11-point defeat. Clarkson continues to produce as a member of the second unit and has scored at least 15 points in six straight games, averaging 18.0 points per game in that span. He's putting up numbers despite his lack of efficiency, so fantasy managers in category-based leagues aren't reaping all the benefits Clarkson can deliver with his scoring exploits. He's shooting just 40.7 percent from the field in that six-game stretch.

Clarkson finished with 20 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 win over the Mavericks.

The veteran guard finished as Utah's second-leading scorer behind John Collins (28). However, Clarkson did struggle from three-point range, and he has shot 30.5 percent from beyond the arc this season. The 32-year-old has provided a fairly consistent offensive output through nine regular-season appearances, during which he has averaged 15.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 0.8 steals across 25.3 minutes per game.

Clarkson (heel) logged 18 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks.

Clarkson had started in his previous two appearances before missing the Jazz's last two contests with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, but he ended up coming off the bench in his return to action Thursday. He played six fewer minutes than starting shooting guard Collin Sexton (27 minutes), but the split between the two players could become more even or even tilt in Clarkson's favor once the heel injury is further in the rear-view mirror. Clarkson had averaged 24.5 minutes per game in his first five outings of the season, while Sexton averaged 23.4 minutes during that same stretch.

Clarkson (heel) is available for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Clarkson will return after a two-game absence due to plantar fasciitis, but this isn't entirely surprising since he was deemed probable earlier today -- and was likely to suit up, barring any late setbacks, before the scheduled 8 p.m. ET tip-off. Clarkson is averaging 13.0 points per game this season while starting in two of his five appearances.

Clarkson (heel) is probable for Thursday's game versus the Bucks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson has been upgraded from questionable to probable Thursday after missing Utah's last two contests with left heel plantar fasciitis. However, if Clarkson is further upgraded to available, it is unclear if he will replace Colin Sexton in the starting lineup.

Clarkson (heel) logged a full practice Wednesday, but an official injury designation remains to be determined in advance of Thursday's game against Milwaukee, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson appears to be ahead of schedule after initially being set for a re-evaluation a week from Nov. 1st as he deals with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. A return to action Thursday versus Milwaukee or Saturday versus San Antonio appears to be on the table.

The Jazz announced Friday that Clarkson has been diagnosed with left plantar fasciitis and will be re-evaluated in one week.

Clarkson suffered his injury during Thursday's contest against San Antonio and will now miss at least a week of action. In Clarkson's absence, Colin Sexton, Patty Mills and Johnny Juzang are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Clarkson won't return to Thursday's game against the Spurs due to left heel pain, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. He had three points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 21 minutes before exiting.

Clarkson was ruled out for the rest of the evening late in the fourth quarter with the game already in hand for San Antonio, so his absence won't have much of an impact on this one. He'll be considered day-to-day until the team gains more clarity on the severity of the injury.

Clarkson amassed 21 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to the Kings.

Clarkson started for the first time this season and delivered his best output of the campaign, showing improved efficiency with his shot and reaching the 20-point mark for the first time this season. Clarkson is battling for the starting role at the two-guard spot with Collin Sexton, and there's no question the 11-year veteran took advantage of the opportunity here. He will be reliable in fantasy regardless of his role due to his scoring prowess, but his upside would gain a few ticks in case he secures a permanent starting nod.

Clarkson will join the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Collin Sexton will slide to the bench with Clarkson starting at the two-guard spot. The 32-year-old has come off the bench in each of the club's first three regular-season games, during which he has averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds across 13.7 minutes per game. Clarkson is shooting only 37.8 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc this season.

Clarkson (rest) tallied 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 117-114 preseason win over the Kings.

Clarkson returned to action Tuesday after missing Utah's previous outing for rest purposes. Clarkson has established himself as one of the NBA's best scoring guards off the bench and was pivotal in the Jazz's win over Sacramento.

Clarkson (rest) has been ruled out of Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Clarkson will get a scheduled day of rest as the club is expected to take an extended look at Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk. Clarkson's next chance to feature will come Tuesday against the Kings.

Clarkson registered 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 22 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 107-102 preseason win over the Mavericks.

Clarkson was one of six Utah players who scored in double digits in this contest while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. He could be in line for a more prominent role in the team's final three preseason contests, and possibly in the regular-season opener against the Grizzlies on Oct. 23, in case Keyonte George (knee) receives extra rest or struggles to recover from the injury he sustained in this win over the Mavs.

Clarkson (back) will be a full go for training camp this week, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson battled some joint inflammation in his back to cut his 2023-24 season short. The veteran ended up making 55 appearances in the regular season, averaging 17.1 points, 5.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 41.3 percent from the field. The Jazz had a quiet offseason, so it's likely that Clarkson will play a similar role in 2024-25.

Clarkson (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

The Jazz won't risk Clarkson in the season finale since the team has nothing to play for. The veteran guard showed his scoring prowess despite playing as a starter or coming off the bench, as he only started in 19 of his 55 appearances. He ends the campaign with averages of 17.1 points, 5.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting 41.3 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from deep.

Clarkson (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson hasn't played since March 25 due to joint inflammation in his back. He has only one more chance to suit up this season -- Sunday against Golden State -- but with the Jazz out of playoff contention, the veteran point guard isn't expected to suit up for that game.

Clarkson (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Clarkson hasn't played since March 25, and there's not much incentive for him to get out there for Utah's final three games with the Jazz mathematically eliminated from postseason play. Talen Horton-Tucker should continue to log big minutes as one of the few guards remaining in Utah's backcourt.

Clarkson (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus Denver, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Clarkson's odds of a return during the 2023-24 campaign dwindle by the day, with Utah having three games on the schedule following Tuesday's contest. Kris Dunn (foot) will also be unavailable for Utah's backcourt rotation Tuesday.

Clarkson (back) will not play Sunday against the Warriors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

This will be Clarkson's sixth straight game on the shelf for Utah. With no word of a timetable, Clarkson may not see the floor again this season.

Clarkson (back) will not play Friday against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

This will be Clarkson's fifth game in a row on the shelf, and his 11th absence out of the past 12 outings. With no timetable being reported, it wouldn't be a surprise if Clarkson's season is over.

Clarkson (back) won't play Tuesday against the Cavaliers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson is set to miss a fourth consecutive game, and the 10th out of the Jazz's last 11 outings, with a nagging injury. The Jazz are already out of the playoff race, so it wouldn't be surprising if Utah ends up shutting down Clarkson for the rest of the campaign, though there haven't been any signs of that happening yet. His next chance to play will come against the Clippers on Friday.

Clarkson (back) will not play Sunday against the Kings, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

This will be the third game in a row on the shelf for Clarkson, and the Jazz have no reason to rush him back given their position in the standings. Keyonte George and Collin Sexton have been playing a ton of minutes, and Johnny Juzang has been getting more opportunities in Clarkson's absence.

Clarkson (back) will not play Friday against the Rockets.

Clarkson will miss a second straight game Friday, and it's usually not a good sign if he's getting ruled out a day in advance. In Clarkson's absence Wednesday against the Spurs, both Keyonte George and Collin Sexton played a ton of minutes, while Brice Sensabaugh played just 13 minutes off the bench.

Clarkson won't play Wednesday against the Spurs due to lower back soreness, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

This is a new injury for Clarkson, but it's no surprise to see the Jazz err on the side of caution. With Kris Dunn suspended, there should be plenty of minutes available for guys like Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh.

Clarkson provided four points (0-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and eight assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 115-105 loss to Dallas.

Clarkson returned from a six-game absence due to a groin injury, missing all seven of his shot attempts. While it was good to see him back on the floor, managers may have been better off leaving him on the bench for this one. Based on what we have seen from the Jazz over the past couple of weeks, there is no guarantee Clarkson will suit up for Wednesday's clash with the Spurs.

Clarkson (groin) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Clarkson has missed the last six games due to a right groin strain, but he'll be able to return to action Monday. It's unclear whether the 31-year-old will face a minutes restriction during his first game back on the court.

Clarkson (groin) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Clarkson is in jeopardy of missing a seventh straight game due to a right groin strain. Keyonte George, Brice Sensabaugh and Taylor Hendricks are likely to maintain increased roles if he is unable to go.

Clarkson (groin) won't play Saturday against the Rockets.

Clarkson has been dealing with a right groin strain, and the Jazz are doing the right thing by being cautious with his recovery process, as any bad movement and potential setback could potentially end his season. This will be Clarkson's sixth consecutive absence, and his next chance to play will come against the Mavericks on Monday.

Clarkson (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Dallas.

Clarkson continues to deal with a right groin strain and will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game. Keyonte George and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates to maintain increased roles in his absence.

Clarkson (groin) will not play in Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game due to a right groin strain, with his next opportunity to take the court coming in short order Thursday versus Dallas. Keyonte George has been locked into a 30-plus minute role across his last five games, while Brice Sensabaugh and Taylor Hendricks are developmental priorities for Utah down the stretch.

Clarkson (groin) won't play in Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Clarkson will miss a third consecutive game due to a right groin strain. Talen Horton-Tucker and Johnny Juzang will likely continue to see increased minutes in Clarkson's absence.

Clarkson (groin) will not play in Saturday's tilt versus the Timberwolves.

The absence will mark Clarkson's second straight due to a right groin strain. In his absence, Johnny Juzang, Talen Horton-Tucker and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates to absorb his minutes. Clarkson's next opportunity to suit up will come in Monday's rematch with Minnesota.

Clarkson (groin) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Hawks.

Clarkson didn't practice Wednesday due to the groin injury, so it's not surprising to see him out Friday, and his availability for the second half of the back-to-back against the Timberwolves, should be in question as well. Talen Horton-Tucker should be in line to see more minutes with Clarkson sidelined.

Clarkson didn't participate in Wednesday's practice due to a right groin injury, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Clarkson presumably suffered his injury during Tuesday's loss to Boston. If Clarkson is unable to suit up for Friday's matchup with Atlanta, Talen Horton-Tucker and Kris Dunn are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Clarkson posted 22 points (10-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals over 28 minutes in Saturday's 142-121 loss to Denver.

Clarkson led all bench players in Saturday's contest in scoring while tallying a team-high-tying trio of steals and ending second on the team in scoring in a 20-point performance. Clarkson has recorded 20 or more points in 21 games this season, his 13th while coming off the bench. He has now scored over 20 points in two of his last three games and in four of his last 10 appearances.

Clarkson registered a season-high 38 points (13-26 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 36 minutes off the bench during Monday's 127-115 win over the Wizards.

The veteran guard led all scorers on the night as he nearly single-handedly carried the shorthanded Jazz to a victory, and he was especially clutch down the stretch. With the game tied 113-113 in the fourth quarter, Clarkson went on an incredible 12-0 run that put the game away for Utah. The double-double was also his career-high sixth of the season, with half of those coming since the beginning of February.

Clarkson (illness) is no longer on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Wizards.

Clarkson missed Saturday's game against the Heat due to an illness, but he will return to the lineup Monday. Clarkson is averaging 12.2 points, 7.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 32.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Clarkson (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Clarkson was a late addition to the injury report and will ultimately be sidelined for the first time since Dec. 21. Kris Dunn, Talen Horton-Tucker and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates for increased roles in Clarkson's absence.

Clarkson is questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson's a late addition to the injury report, joining Walker Kessler (foot) as questionable. If the backup guard can't suit up, Kris Dunn, Talen Horton-Tucker and Brice Sensabaugh would be candidates for increased roles.

Clarkson totaled 22 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and 10 assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's 128-109 victory over the Spurs.

Clarkson notched his fifth double-double of the season, breaking Utah's five-game losing streak in the process. Although the Jazz are starting Keyonte George and Collin Sexton together in the backcourt, Clarkson is still seeing a ton of usage and minutes off the bench to keep his fantasy value afloat.

Clarkson provided 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 138-122 loss to the Lakers.

Clarkson led all bench players in Wednesday's contest in scoring, threes made and assists while ending as one of seven Jazz players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Clarkson has been a boost for Utah all season while coming off the bench and starting, posting his 25th game with 15 or more points.

Clarkson accumulated 22 points (7-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 33 minutes during Monday's 129-107 loss to Golden State.

Clarkson has been a steady source of scoring for the Jazz this season regardless of his bench role, and he has posted double-digit scoring numbers in each of his last nine appearances. He might be scoring 14.7 points per game in that span, but he needs to improve his efficiency, as he's hitting just 38.8 percent of his shots during that aforementioned stretch, including 24 percent of his threes.

Clarkson provided 16 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds and 10 assists in 34 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 127-124 loss to the 76ers.

It's the fourth double-double of the season for the veteran sixth man, and just the 13th of his 10-year career. Clarkson's offensive contributions remain rock-solid -- he's scored in double digits in 13 of the last 14 games, averaging 18.4 points, 4.6 assists, 3.0 boards and 1.6 threes over that stretch in 30.6 minutes a contest.

Clarkson supplied 19 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and eight assists across 30 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 123-108 victory over the Wizards.

The veteran guard came close to recording his fourth double-double of the season as he scored at least 17 points for the ninth time in the last 10 games. Clarkson's averaging 20.4 points, 5.0 assists, 3.7 boards and 1.9 threes over that stretch, and he remains one of the top bench weapons in the league.

Clarkson provided 33 points (12-25 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists over 38 minutes during Saturday's 127-126 overtime loss to the Rockets.

Clarkson sped down the floor in the final seconds of overtime after an Alperen Sengun missed free throw, getting off a clean free-throw line jumper that bounced off the front of the rim. Despite the heartbreaking ending, he led the Jazz in scoring and is now averaging 22.0 points, 5.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds across his past eight games. The 31-year-old continues to thrive with the second unit, as Saturday marked his third game with 30-plus points off the bench this season.

The NBA postponed Wednesday's game between the Warriors and Jazz due to a serious medical situation within Golden State's organization, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic needed to be hospitalized Tuesday night after a health episode occurred during a team dinner. It's unclear when the game will be made up, but Utah's next scheduled game is Thursday versus the Thunder.

Clarkson ended with 17 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 132-105 victory over the Pacers.

Clarkson has been excellent as a scoring weapon off the bench for the Jazz this season, and he's scored at least 17 points in all but one of his nine outings in January, a span in which he's averaging a robust 29.7 minutes per game. His scoring prowess makes him an excellent fantasy alternative across all formats despite his bench role.

Clarkson ended with 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), one rebound and five assists over 31 minutes during Friday's 145-113 victory over the Raptors.

Clarkson is a dependable fantasy target regardless of where he's positioned at tip-off, and he's very familiar with coming off the bench to provide a spark. Coach Will Hardy's choice to start Kris Dunn over Clarkson is a bit confounding, but with Collin Sexton performing well, the backcourt held up admirably prior to Clarkson's insertion. Clarkson drilled five three-pointers in the win, matching his season high.

Clarkson contributed 27 points (12-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and nine assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 124-111 win over the Nuggets.

Utah took down the defending champions due in large part to Clarkson's decisive performance, and his resurgent play has been a huge part of the Jazz's run of victories. Although Kris Dunn drew the start at point guard, the one-two punch of Clarkson and Collin Sexton seems to be the inevitable setup for the Jazz backcourt after experimenting with Keyonte George at various points this season. Utah has now won nine of its last 11 games, and the healthy lineup should provide its share of production opportunities in the coming weeks.

Clarkson tallied 21 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists, four rebounds and one block across 31 minutes in Monday's 132-116 win over the Bucks.

Clarkson tied Lauri Markkanen for the team lead in scoring and was an integral part in the Jazz building a 31-point halftime advantage and in staving off the Bucks' second-half charge. He was on triple-double watch through the first two quarters (12 points, six assists and four rebounds) and poured in seven of his 21 points in the final quarter to help seal the victory. Since returning in late December from a six-game absence to a hamstring injury, Clarkson has ceded his spot in the starting five to Collin Sexton, but Clarkson's production hasn't suffered while he's bene deployed as the team's sixth man. He's averaging 18.9 points, 5.7 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 triples in 27.9 minutes per game over his nine outings off the bench.

Clarkson notched 36 points (11-20 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 154-148 overtime victory over the Pistons.

Clarkson scored 29 of his team-high 36 points in the second half and overtime, helping the Jazz to a stirring come-from-behind victory. He has scored at least 20 points in four of the past six games, finding his rhythm despite shifting to the bench. While he is likely to cool off at some point in the near future, Clarkson should be added across all leagues right now.

Clarkson amassed 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 127-90 victory over Dallas.

This was the first triple-double of Clarkson's career. This also ended a drought for the Jazz, as this was the first regular season triple-double for the franchise since Carlos Boozer in 2008. Monday's game was a lopsided victory for Utah and coach Will Hardy pulled most of his key players early, but he let Clarkson play down the stretch to collect the accolade. He'll be looking to build some momentum from this performance, as he was in a pretty bad slump in December with a 35.4 percent mark from the field.

Clarkson fouled out of Tuesday's 130-118 victory over San Antonio after recording 24 points (7-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds and eight assists over 27 minutes.

Clarkson had been a starter to start the season but has played off the bench in the last two games, and judging by his numbers, that might not change for the foreseeable future -- he dropped 30 against the Raptors and hit 24 in this win over San Antonio. This change of role wouldn't affect Clarkson's fantasy upside, as he'd remain a valuable offensive for Utah even if he comes off the bench. He has logged at least 27 minutes in the two games in which he hasn't started.

Clarkson closed Saturday's 126-119 victory over Toronto with 30 points (11-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 30 minutes.

Clarkson returned from a six-game absence and was impressive as an offensive threat, reaching the 30-point mark for the fourth time this season. This was his first outing off the bench in 2023-24, and he should return to the starting unit soon, presumably against the Spurs on Tuesday.

Clarkson is active for Saturday's game against Toronto.

Clarkson will make his return 11 days after being diagnosed with a two-week recovery timeline for a strain in his right thigh/hamstring. Clarkson has been hampered by right leg issues throughout December, so it wouldn't be surprising to see his workload strictly monitored in his return to action Saturday. Kris Dunn's workload will take a hit, while less shots could be available for Ochai Agbaji and Collin Sexton as well.

Clarkson (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

Clarkson was diagnosed with a right thigh strain Dec. 12 that was expected to sideline him for two weeks, but he'll be listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup, which falls a week and a half after his diagnosis. It's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up, but if he's cleared to play, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction.

The Jazz announced Tuesday that Clarkson was diagnosed with a right bicep femoris strain in his thigh and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Clarkson sustained a right thigh contusion against the Pelicans on Nov. 27 and experienced continued hamstring discomfort against the Thunder. Talen Horton-Tucker, Colin Sexton and Kris Dunn are candidates to receive extended minutes in Clarkson's absence.

Clarkson accumulated six points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 117-103 loss to the Clippers.

Clarkson couldn't get anything going and struggled to sink baskets in the loss, with his recent three-game absence as the likely cause of the downturn. Friday marked Clarkson's second-worst scoring total of the season and may need more injury management for his recent thigh injury.

Clarkson (thigh) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Friday, so it isn't very surprising that he'll be able to return from his three-game absence. It's unclear whether he'll face a minutes restriction Friday, but Collin Sexton, Kris Dunn and Talen Horton-Tucker could see their roles decrease.

Clarkson (thigh) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's matchup versus the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson was initially listed as questionable after missing the previous three games, but he's now trending toward suiting up Friday. Given his multi-game absence, Clarkson may be subject to a minute restriction if he's cleared to play, but his presence would certainly mean fewer minutes for Collin Sexton, Kris Dunn and Talen Horton-Tucker.

Clarkson (thigh) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson has missed the past three games for Utah, but he was able to practice in full Thursday. The Jazz likely want to see how his body responds before updating his status further. Clarkson has been a key part of Utah's offense this season with averages of 17.8 points and 4.9 assists per game.

Clarkson (thigh) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson has missed Utah's previous three contests with a thigh contusion. However, his return to practice is a good sign of his availability for Friday's matchup with the Clippers.

Clarkson (thigh) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks.

Clarkson's absence streak will extend to three games Wednesday due to a right thigh contusion. Ochai Agbaji will likely draw another start in his absence. Clarkson's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Clippers.

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

Clarkson'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.

Clarkson (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Clarkson was questionable for Thursday's matchup and will officially be unable to suit up in the second half of the back-to-back set. Ochai Agbaji will start in his place Thursday, while Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker could also see increased roles.

Clarkson (thigh) is questionable for Thursday's game versus Minnesota, David Locke of Utah Jazz radio reports.

Clarkson continues to deal with a nagging thigh injury but was able to suit up in the first leg of Utah's back-to-back Wednesday. If Clarkson is ruled out, Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker will likely receive extended minutes.

Clarkson (thigh) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Clarson has been upgraded from probable to available despite dealing with a right thigh contusion. The 31-year-old guard isn't expected to be on a minutes restriction.

Clarkson (thigh) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Clarkson was listed as questionable on Utah's initial injury report, but he's trending in the right direction in the hours leading up to tipoff. He was productive in Monday's win over the Pelicans, tallying 16 points, 10 assists and four rebounds in 32 minutes.

Clarkson is questionable for Wednesday's game the Grizzlies due to a thigh contusion, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

It's unclear when Clarkson picked up his injury, but he seems to no longer be dealing with an illness. If the veteran guard is ruled out, Kris Dunn and Simone Fontecchio are candidates to receive increased minutes.

Clarkson is in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup against the Pelicans, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson was deemed available earlier today, so it's not a surprise to see him moving back into the starting lineup right away. His return moves Kris Dunn to the bench. Clarkson is averaging 18.3 points per game this season.

Clarkson (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Clarkson sat out Saturday's loss to New Orleans with an illness, but he has the green light to return Monday and there's no word of any restrictions. With Clarkson set to reprise his role as the starting shooting guard, it's likely that Kris Dunn will head back to the bench for Utah.

Clarkson (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Clarkson sat out Saturday's loss to New Orleans due to an illness, but he was back at practice Sunday. While he appears to be trending in the right direction, the Jazz will presumably monitor him leading up to Sunday's tipoff.

Clarkson (illness) practiced Sunday in advance of Monday's game against San Antonio, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson was inactive for Saturday's loss to New Orleans, marking his first absence of the season. He's trending in the right direction to play Monday, which would likely demote Kris Dunn back to a bench role.

Clarkson will not play in Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans due to an illness, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

With Clarkson under the weather, Talen Horton-Tucker is the likely candidate to fill in at shooting guard. Collin Sexton and Kris Dunn are candidates to see increased minutes due to his absence as well. The veteran shooting guard's next chance to suit up will come Monday in a rematch with New Orleans.

Clarkson posted 37 points (14-26 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 131-128 loss to Phoenix.

Although the Jazz were unable to pick up the win Friday, Clarkson finished with the game with at least 30 points for the third time in his last four appearances. Across that four-game span, he's averaged 31.5 points, 4.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 34.8 minutes per matchup. The 31-year-old had a somewhat inconsistent start to the season but has hit his stride over the past week and a half.

Clarkson accumulated 30 points (13-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 115-99 win over the Trail Blazers.

Clarkson is known for being one of the most streaky scorers in the league -- he can takeover a game when he gets hot, but he can also sink his team when his shot isn't falling. Fortunately for the Jazz, it has been the former over the last few days, as Clarkson has now scored at least 25 points in three games in a row and at least 20 in five of his previous seven.

Clarkson supplied 33 points (12-26 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 loss to Indiana.

The veteran guard led the Jazz in scoring in a season-best shooting night from the floor. Clarkson has had an erratic start to the year, as have the Jazz as a whole, and through nine games he's scored 10 points or less as many times (four) as he has 20 or more. After averaging a career-high 20.8 points a game in 2022-23, however, the 31-year-old has proven he's capable of heating up quickly in coach Will Hardy's system.

Clarkson ended Monday's 130-113 loss to the Bulls with seven points (3-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt), one rebound and six assists across 29 minutes.

Through eight games, Clarkson has struggled to get himself going offensively. He's averaging 13.3 points and 5.0 assists, but he's shooting just 34.5 percent from the field. He'll look to bounce back against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Clarkson chipped in 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 win over the Grizzlies.

Clarkson bounced back after a concerning two-game stretch where he failed to reach double-digits. Granted, the matchups were against two potential title contenders in Denver and Phoenix, but he put a solid number up against another team with a lot of potential Wednesday evening. The backcourt had a different look in the blowout win, with Collin Sexton excelling off the ball alongside Clarkson. We may see a lot more of this scheme moving forward.

Clarkson contributed four points (2-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Nuggets.

This was Clarkson's second dud in a row, as he scored just seven points on 3-of-10 shooting in his previous outing against the Suns. Clarkson will likely still have the greenest of lights, however, and he will be looking to get on track against a winless Memphis team Wednesday night.

Clarkson closed with seven points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Saturday's 126-104 loss to the Suns.

Clarkson also had a game-high five turnovers and a minus-26 point differential, second-worst only to the minus-28 mark by John Collins. After scoring 24 points in the season opener, Clarkson has combined for 20 points in the past two games while shooting just 30.4 percent from the field. He'll look to get back on track Monday against the defending champion Nuggets.

Clarkson had 24 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six assists and four rebounds over 31 minutes in Wednesday's 130-114 loss to the Kings.

Clarkson got off to an efficient start to his 2023-24 campaign by leading the team in scoring, made field goals and made free throws. He did cough the ball up twice, though his teammates Kris Dunn and Collin Sexton combined for seven of the team's 14 turnovers on the evening. Clarkson shifted into the starting lineup last season after winning the Sixth Man of the Year award for the 2021-22 season and held onto that role despite the Jazz trading for Sexton. Clarkson will look to help the team get their first win of the season Friday against the Clippers.

Clarkson (rest) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Kings.

Clarkson will return to action for Wednesday's season opener after missing Utah's preseason finale for rest purposes. The veteran guard is expected to start alongside Talen Horton-Tucker in the backcourt.

Clarkson won't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Kings due to rest purposes, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson topped 10 points in two of his four exhibition appearances, but he'll have a chance to rest with just under a week remaining until the regular season. He should be back in action for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Kings.

Clarkson finished with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists against New Zealand in an exhibition victory Monday.

Clarkson tied for second on the Jazz in scoring in a balanced team effort during which only three players tallied double-digit points. The veteran was in the starting lineup again for the contest -- he's worked with the first unit each of the past two games after coming off the bench for the initial two contests of Utah's exhibition slate. It's uncertain if Clarkson will be a starter or reserve to begin the regular season, but either way he should be one of the team's top scorers after he averaged a career-best 20.6 points per contest over a career-high 32.6 minutes last year.

Clarkson is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Clarkson will move into the starting lineup in place of Collin Sexton after putting up 12 points against the Clippers on Tuesday. Clarkson should see decent minutes alongside Talen Horton-Tucker in the backcourt.

Clarkson notched 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block across 20 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 103-98 preseason loss to the Clippers.

Clarkson is one of the best volume scorers in the league, and he is expected to remain one of Utah's main threats on offense regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. Clarkson started in all 61 of his appearances during the 2022-23 season and averaged a career-best 20.8 points per game, but it remains to be seen whether he'll remain in that role or slide to be the primary scorer of the second unit. Regardless of the role, he should have decent fantasy upside based on his scoring ability alone.

Clarkson and the Jazz are set to finalize a three-year, $55 million contract renegotiation and extension Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Just a few days earlier, Clarkson exercised his $14.26 million player option for 2023-24, doing so presumably as a placeholder until he and the Jazz were able to come to terms on a longer-term deal. The two sides didn't take long to work out the parameters of a contract, with Clarkson's extension now locking him in with Utah through the 2025-26 campaign. The 31-year-old guard is coming off a stellar 2022-23 season in which he was a full-time starter for the first time since 2015-16, his second year in the league with the Lakers. In 61 appearances, Clarkson averaged a career-high 20.8 points while chipping in 4.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 three-pointers in 32.6 minutes per contest.

Clarkson exercised his $14.2 million player option for 2023-24 on Thursday, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Clarkson will stay in Utah for his fourth straight season and has the potential to receive a long-term extension. The 30-year-old guard is coming off a career year in which he averaged 20.8 points, 4.4 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 32.6 minutes across 61 games.

Clarkson (finger) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Clarkson was one of Utah's best players when healthy this season, but he'll end the year missing a 17th straight game due to a left finger sprain. The veteran guard ends the 2022-23 season averaging a career-best 20.8 points per game while shooting 44.4 percent from the field and 33.8 percent from three-point range.

Clarkson (finger) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reprots.

Clarkson is slated to miss a 16th straight game and will presumably remain sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lakers, as well. Over 61 appearances, Clarkson is averaging a career-high 20.8 points with 44/33/81 shooting splits.

Clarkson (finger) will sit out Thursday's game against the Thunder.

Clarkson will miss a 15th consecutive contest with a sprained finger on his left hand. With just two more games left in the regular season and the Jazz likely out of the playoffs, Clarkson could very well be held out for the remainder of the campaign.

Clarkson (finger) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Clarkson will be unavailable for a 14th consecutive game due to a finger injury. Ochai Agbaji and Talen Horton-Tucker should continue to see increased run.

Clarkson (finger) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson is set to miss his 11th straight game Wednesday due to a finger injury. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Boston, although there is no timetable for his return.

Clarkson (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Phoenix, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson hasn't played since early March, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. His next opportunity to suit up will be Wednesday against San Antonio.

Clarkson (finger) will remain sidelined for Saturday's contest against the Kings, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Clarkson has been sidelined since March 5 and remains without a clear timetable for return. His next opportunity is set to come Monday against the Suns. Given the length of his absence, he will likely be worked back into the swing of things once his health returns to par.

Clarkson (finger) will not partake in Friday's game versus the Bucks.

Clarkson hasn't appeared in a game since March 5 and doesn't have a clear timetable for when he will retake the floor. His next opportunity to do so arrives in the second game of a back-to-back set Saturday in Sacramento.

Clarkson (finger) is out for Wednesday's game versus Portland, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson hasn't played since Mar. 5 due to a finger sprain. Ochai Agbaji should continue to start in his absence. Clarkson's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Clarkson (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Ryan Miller of KSL.com reports.

Clarkson continues to deal with a sprained finger and will be sidelined for a sixth consecutive game. Ochai Agbaji should continue to see increased run in his absence, while Kris Dunn and Johnny Juzang could also see a few extra minutes.

Clarkson (finger) will not play in Saturday's game against the Celtics.

Clarkson will miss a fifth straight contest with a sprained finger despite logging a full practice Friday. His absence will allow more opportunities for Ochai Agbaji, Johnny Juzang and Kris Dunn on Saturday. Clarkson's next chance to play will come Monday against the Kings.

Clarkson (finger) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Celtics, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

A sprained finger has kept Clarkson out for four straight games, but he was a full participant in Friday's practice, indicating he has a good chance to return Saturday. If he's back in the lineup, fewer minutes will presumably be available for Ochai Agbaji, Johnny Juzang and Kris Dunn.

Clarkson (finger) was a full participant during Friday's practice, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

After a limited session Thursday, Clarkson was able to fully participate Friday and has a good chance to return Saturday from a four-game absence due to a left finger sprain. However, his official status versus Boston won't be known until the Jazz release their next injury report, which should drop sometime Friday afternoon.

Clarkson (finger) participated in portions of Thursday's practice session, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson has missed the last four games due to a left finger sprain, and it's not yet clear whether he'll return to game action Saturday against the Celtics. However, his participation in practice is encouraging and suggests that he could be back in action sooner rather than later.

Clarkson (finger) will not play against the Heat on Monday, Eric Walden of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

This is the start of a two-game week for the Jazz, so Clarkson will have only one more chance to play Saturday against the Celtics. Talen Horton-Tucker has been on fire and benefits from this news, while Kris Dunn and Ochai Agbaji will have more opportunities as well.

Clarkson (finger) is questionable for Monday's matchup with Miami, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson has missed the past three games due to the finger issue, and it's been Ochai Agbaji starting in his place with more minutes falling to Talen Horton-Tucker and Kris Dunn. Clarkson will likely test his finger during Monday's shootaround, but don't be surprised if he's a game-time call versus Miami.

Clarkson (finger) will not play in Saturday's game against the Hornets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will miss a third consecutive contest with a sprained finger on his left hand. Ochai Agbaji should remain in the starting lineup Saturday while Kris Dunn and Johnny Juzang are favorites to see extended run off the bench. Clarkson's next chance to play will come Monday in Miami.

Clarkson (finger) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Clarkson has missed the last two matchups due to a sprained finger, and his status for Saturday's game is up in the air. If the 30-year-old missed a third consecutive game, Ochai Agbaji will likely remain in the starting lineup.

Clarkson (finger) is out for Thursday's matchup at Orlando, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

A sprained finger will keep Clarkson out for a second consecutive game. Rookie Ochai Agbaji should remain in the starting lineup, while Kris Dunn and Johnny Juzang are candidates to see more minutes.

Clarkson (finger) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Magic, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Clarkson is in danger of missing a second straight contest due to a finger injury. With Collin Sexton (hamstring) already ruled out, Kris Dunn and Ochai Agbaji would be candidates for increased roles if Clarkson is sidelined again.

Clarkson (finger) is unavailable for Tuesday's contest against the Mavericks.

The absences are piling up for Utah, as Clarkson's sprained finger adds to Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Walker Kessler (illness). With Clarkson shelved, expect more minutes from Kris Dunn and Ochai Agbaji.

Clarkson is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a sprained left pinky.

Clarkson was already dealing with a thumb injury on his right hand before dislocating his pinky during Sunday's loss to the Thunder. If he's unable to play Tuesday, Kris Dunn and Ochai Agbaji are candidates to see more minutes.

Clarkson ended Sunday's 129-119 loss to Oklahoma City with 18 points (6-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals over 34 minutes.

Clarkson didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still posted a solid stat line while also recording a season-best mark in assists. This was his third double-double of the campaign, but Clarkson's fantasy upside lives and dies by his scoring figures. On that note, he's averaging 20.5 points per game since the start of February.

Clarkson (thumb) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will return following two consecutive absences due to a sprained right thumb. The guard could take on increased usage with Lauri Markkanen (back) out and Collin Sexton (hamstring) still shelved. This month, Clarkson is averaging 20.8 points, 4.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 33.0 minutes.

Clarkson (thumb) is out for Friday's game versus the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will miss his second straight game Friday due to a right thumb sprain. Talen Horton-Tucker and Ochai Ogbaji will likely remain in the starting lineup with Clarkson and Collin Sexton (hamstring) out. The 30-year-old guard's next chance to suit up is Sunday's rematch with the Thunder.

Clarkson has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to a right thumb sprain.

Clarkson was held in check Saturday against San Antonio, logging nine points, seven assists, three rebounds and a steal in 33 minutes. He's dealing with a thumb issue following the matchup and will be forced to miss at least one game. Talen Horton-Tucker, Ochai Agbaji and Kris Dunn are candidates to see additional playing time Tuesday.

Clarkson closed Thursday's 120-119 overtime victory over the Thunder with 24 points (9-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes.

Clarkson was productive throughout the contest, scoring 10 first-half points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field before going 5-of-9 between the second half and overtime as the Jazz pulled off a close one at home. The point guard finished second on the team with 24 points while also tying Talen Horton-Tucker for the team lead with six assists. Clarkson has now scored at least 20 points in four straight and in seven of eight games this month.

Clarkson supplied 24 points (10-23 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 40 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 loss to New York.

Clarkson finished the contest with 24 points despite going ice-cold from beyond the arc. He's been off his game from deep over his last four games, converting on only five of 28 attempts. However, he's continued to find ways to put up points over this difficult stretch by averaging 20.5 points to go along with 5.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 31.8 minutes.

Clarkson (illness) is available to play Saturday against the Knicks, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Clarkson sat out Friday's win over the Raptors, but apparently, he's feeling good enough to play in the second half of a back-to-back. His return to the lineup should give the Jazz a significant boost on offense, as he's averaging 19.7 points with 3.4 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Clarkson (illness) is questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Knicks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson sat out Friday's win over the Raptors but will gauge how he's feeling leading up to tipoff before making a decision Saturday. If Clarkson is available, Ochai Agbaji will presumably head back to the bench.

Clarkson (non-COVID illness) will not play Friday against the Raptors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Initially listed as questionable, it appears Clarkson is feeling too under the weather to give it a go Friday, leaving the Jazz down a backcourt member. Talen Horton-Tucker resurfaced in the rotation Wednesday with a solid showing and may line up for the start in Clarkson's absence. Given the nature of his absence, a return Saturday in New York certainly seems plausible.

Clarkson is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors due to a non-COVID illness, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson hasn't missed a game since Dec. 10 but was a late addition to Friday's injury report. He scored in single digits for just the third time this season during Wednesday's win over Minnesota, but Talen Horton-Tucker and Collin Sexton could see increased run against Toronto if Clarkson is unavailable.

Clarkson closed with 24 points (10-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to Atlanta.

Clarkson turned in an above-average scoring night, but he struggled to find his shooting touch from three. After ending January with a few disappointing performances, he's started February with back-to-back 20-plus point showings.

Clarkson logged 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 131-128 win over the Raptors.

He finished second on the Jazz in scoring behind All-Star candidate Lauri Markkanen (28 points), ending a three-game lull in which Clarkson averaged 16.7 points on 40.4 percent shooting from the field. Though Clarkson owns the second-best true shooting percentage of his career (56.8 percent), efficiency from the field has never been his strong suit, so he'll continue to retain slightly more value in points leagues than eight- or nine-category leagues.

Clarkson accumulated 14 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 108-100 win over the Mavericks.

Clarkson was off to a solid start with 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field in the first half to go along with four boards, two assists and two steals. The bottom fell out for the point guard after the break, however, as he failed to knock down all six of his field goal attempts over the final two quarters and added just two more points on 2-of-2 shooting from the foul line. Clarkson added seven boards, the most he's recorded in five games, as well as a season-high three steals, though he's now failed to reach the 20-point mark in three straight.

Clarkson had 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and two assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 120-102 win over Charlotte.

Clarkson struggled a bit from deep and didn't contribute in any other categories, so this was far from his best fantasy performance. At least he remains a consistent scoring weapon, though, putting up 15-plus points in 18 games in a row. He's averaging 23.1 points per game in that span.

Clarkson provided a team-high 29 points (11-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 117-106 loss to the Nets.

The game was tied heading into the fourth quarter, but the Jazz simply didn't have an answer for Kyrie Irving. Clarkson still delivered more than 20 points for the fifth time in the last six games, a stretch in which the veteran guard is averaging 26.5 points, 5.7 boards, 3.3 assists and 2.8 threes. Clarkson's on pace for a career-best season, and the 30-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down.

Clarkson closed Monday's 126-125 victory over Minnesota with 21 points (6-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block in 33 minutes.

Clarkson had his lowest shot output in four games but still led the Jazz in scoring on Monday. His largest contribution was four made triples, as he only recorded one board and one assist all night. He did add a block, his first in over a month, but that's it defensively. The veteran guard is averaging 24.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists in the month of January.

Clarkson had 38 points (16-29 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 loss to the 76ers.

With Lauri Markkanen (hip) ruled out, Clarkson took it upon himself to carry the Jazz, almost pulling off an improbable victory. As per usual, he added nothing on the defensive end, relying on his scoring to carry his overall fantasy value. If Markkanen is forced to miss additional time, anyone with Clarkson on their roster might want to try and sell him off for any top 70 player.

Clarkson finished with 23 points (8-21 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes in Friday's 112-108 win over the Magic.

The season-high rebound total was a nice surprise from a player who hadn't recorded more than six boards in any of his prior eight appearances, but fantasy managers are rostering Clarkson mainly for his contributions in the scoring, three-pointers and free-throw percentage categories. Through 44 outings this season, he's averaging a career-high 20.7 points per contest and is chipping in 2.7 three-pointers while shooting 81.4 percent from the line on a career-high 3.9 attempts per contest.

Clarkson amassed 32 points (11-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-114 victory over the Cavaliers.

Clarkson led the charge on the offensive end Tuesday evening, as he scored 15 of his 32 points from beyond the arc and shot an impressive 57.9 percent from the field. This marks his best scoring night since Dec. 15 when he erupted for 39 points against the Pelicans. Clarkson is averaging 22.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.0 steals through five appearances in January.

Clarkson was given a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected from Sunday's game versus the Grizzlies, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Clarkson's foul came against Desmond Bane late in the third quarter. He tallied 17 points, three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes before leaving Sunday's game. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Malik Beasley will likely receive extended minutes in Clarkson's absence.

Clarkson provided 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 126-118 loss to Chicago.

Clarkson was second only to Lauri Markkanen in minutes played, and it was the fifth time in six games that he shot over 50 percent from the field. He also dished out a game-high eight assists to go along with his scoring. His 20.5 points and 4.5 assists per game this season are both career highs for the veteran guard.

Clarkson finished with 24 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 117-115 loss to the Kings.

Clarkson has enjoyed a remarkably consistent run as a scorer of late, ranging between 21 and 25 points over his last eight appearances while shooting 48.1 percent from the field, 41.8 percent from distance and 77.6 percent from the free-throw line. While the offensive production is exactly what fantasy managers were hoping for from Clarkson, his contributions in other areas remain shallow. He's providing 4.1 boards, 3.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.0 blocks per contest over that same stretch.

Clarkson accumulated 25 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 126-125 loss to the Kings.

Clarkson was just 2-of-3 from the field over the first two quarters but still managed 11 first-half points thanks to 7-of-8 shooting from the free-throw line. He was more aggressive in the second half, knocking down six of nine field goal attempts for 14 points while adding six assists, three rebounds and two steals as Utah lost its third consecutive game. Clarkson has now scored at least 20 points in six straight, though he did fail to knock down a three for the first time in eight games.

Clarkson provided 22 points (8-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to Golden State.

Clarkson enjoyed an excellent shooting night, converting 57 percent of his shots. Clarkson has now scored 20-plus points in five consecutive games and is one of the most productive guards in the Western Conference at the moment.

Clarkson notched 25 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 126-122 loss to San Antonio.

Clarkson's 25 points in the loss ranked second among Jazz players behind Lauri Markkanen (32 points). It was the fourth straight game with 20-plus points for Clarkson, who is averaging a career-best 20.3 points per contest on the campaign. The veteran guard's increased output has coincided with his move into the starting unit -- after coming off the bench in all but two games over his first two full seasons with Utah, Clarkson has started in all 36 games in which he has played this year.

Clarkson ended with 23 points (8-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 122-99 loss to Cleveland.

The long-time bench star has gotten the start in all 32 games he's played this season, and as a result Clarkson is on pace to set new career high in points and assists. He's scored in double digits in nine straight games, averaging 22.8 points, 3.4 assists, 3.1 boards and 2.6 threes over that stretch.

Clarkson notched 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 123-97 loss to the Bucks.

This was a game where the entire Jazz team looked overmatched and out of sync, and while Clarkson's numbers weren't in line with what he's produced all season long, he still ended up as one of the team's most productive players. Despite the subpar outing here, Clarkson has still scored at least 20 points in four of his last six appearances.

Clarkson registered 39 points (15-26 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Thursday's 132-129 overtime victory over the Pelicans.

Clarkson bounced back in a big way Thursday, torching the Pelicans with a season-high 39 points including seven triples. He even matched his season-best with two steals, capping off what was a dynamic performance. His lack of peripheral numbers on most nights does put a cap on his overall fantasy appeal, highlighted by the fact that he is currently outside the top 150. With that said, any player who averages more than 20 points per night, while chipping in close to four assists, has to be rostered in most places.

Clarkson had 11 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one block in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-100 victory over the Pelicans.

Clarkson was unavailable Saturday against Denver due to a right hip contusion, but he rejoined the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup. Although he converted just 14.3 percent of his three-point attempts during the comfortable win, he still managed to score in double figures. He's now averaging 19.5 points, 4.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 32.5 minutes per game this year.

Clarkson is in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will return to the starting lineup after missing Saturday's game with a right hip contusion. The 30-year-old guard has started in all 28 of his appearances this season.

Clarkson isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's matchup against the Pelicans.

Clarkson missed Utah's previous game due to a right hip contusion, marking his first absence of the season, but he returned to practice Monday and will be back in the mix Tuesday. Lauri Markkanen (illness) and Mike Conley (rest) are also expected to play after missing Saturday's loss to Denver, so the Jazz should be close to full strength against New Orleans. Across 28 appearances (all starts), Clarkson is averaging 19.8 points, 4.9 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 32.7 minutes per game.

Clarkson (hip) was a full participant in Monday's team practice ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Pelicans, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson missed Utah's previous game due to a right hip contusion but is slated to make his return Tuesday. Joining him at practice were Lauri Markkanen (illness) and Mike Conley, meaning the Jazz will likely be at full strength Tuesday. This could spell fewer minutes for Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Malik Beasley and Talen Horton-Tucker.

Clarkson will miss Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to a right hip contusion,Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will join Collin Sexton (hamstring), Mike Conley (rest) and Lauri Markkanen (illness) on the sideline Saturday, leaving ample opportunity for the likes of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Talen Horton-Tucker and Malik Beasley. Clarkson's next chance to play will come on Tuesday against the Pelicans.

Clarkson amassed 21 points (8-20 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 118-108 loss to Minnesota.

Clarkson struggled from the field early, missing all three of his field-goal attempts in the first quarter before finishing entering the break with eight points on 3-of-9 shooting. Much of his production came in the third quarter where he went 4-of-7 from the field for nine points, though he still failed to connect on any of his three-point attempts, finishing the game 0-of-7 from behind the arc. Clarkson has reached the 20-point mark in three straight contests but is now shooting just 16 percent from three to start this month.

Clarkson recorded 22 points (9-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and nine assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 124-123 win over Golden State.

Clarkson led the team in scoring and continues to be a legit fantasy difference-maker during Mike Conley's (leg) extended absence. Over six games without Conley in the lineup, Clarkson has averaged 22.3 points, 5.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds.

Clarkson ended with 24 points (10-26 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 116-111 loss to Portland.

Clarkson has scored at least 20 points in eight of his last 10 appearances and his role as Utah's go-to player on offense is not under question, but this was not a good performance from him, at least from an efficiency perspective, since he ended with more shots attempts (26) than points scored (24). That shouldn't take anything away from his value, though, as the former Lakers and Cavaliers guard is averaging a career-best 19.7 points per game in 2022-23.

Clarkson finished with 33 points (10-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-11 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 win over the Clippers.

Clarkson took control early in the win, ending his night with a season-high 33 points. Coming off arguably his worst game of the season against the Bulls, he was able to catch fire, leading the Jazz to a much-needed victory. Despite averaging 19.5 points per game, Clarkson currently sits outside the top 100 in 12-team formats. While he is a clear must-roster player, he typically provides value in points and triples only.

Clarkson closed with eight points (3-15 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and nine assists over 37 minutes during Monday's 114-107 loss to the Bulls.

Clarkson's eight-point night was his first single-digit scoring performance since Oct. 28. He was on a 16-game run of averaging 20.5 points on 45/36/89 shooting. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned, as there's no reason to think this will start a downward trend.

Clarkson produced 22 points (8-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 113-112 loss to the Suns.

Clarkson led the Jazz in scoring in the loss, reaching the 20-point mark for the sixth straight game. The veteran guard added a handful of assists and boards for one of his better all-around stat lines of the campaign. Clarkson's transition to a full-time starter this season has gone quite well, as he's averaging a career-high 19.5 points per game along with 4.7 dimes, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 triples.

Clarkson had 21 points (9-18 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and 10 assists over 35 minutes during Friday's 129-118 loss to the Warriors.

Clarkson had his most productive quarter in the third, going 3-of-6 from the field with eight points while dishing out five of his game-high 10 assists. Thirteen of his 21 points came in the second half on 5-of-10 shooting, with four of his misses coming from beyond the arc. The Jazz point guard failed to connect on any of his three-point attempts in the contest for just the second time this season but has recorded 20 or more points in five straight. It was also Clarkson's first double-double of the season as well as his first time with double-digit assists.

Clarkson closed Monday's 121-114 loss to the Clippers with 26 points (8-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes.

Clarkson matched his season-best with seven free-throw attempts, while logging a season-high 39 minutes. He's an integral component of Utah's offense and he's now scored 20-plus points in three straight games.

Clarkson accumulated 28 points (10-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-113 win over the Trail Blazers.

Clarkson has emerged as one of Utah's top scoring threats on a nightly basis, but he can be accredited as the main reason why the Jazz escaped with the victory Saturday night, scoring six clutch points down the stretch when the Blazers were inching closer to mount a comeback. Clarkson has scored at least 20 points in seven of his 10 appearances during the current month and is averaging 20.3 points, 4.1 assists and 3.4 rebounds per contest in that span.

Clarkson finished with 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 31 minutes Friday's 134-133 win over the Jazz.

Though Clarkson did little to supplement his scoring production, he at least got his points efficiently after shooting 34.7 percent from the field over his previous three contests. The 30-year-old is averaging 18.1 points, 4.6 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game for the season and looks like he'll continue to hold off Collin Sexton for a regular spot in the starting five, even though Sexton was signed to a more lucrative contract this offseason.

Clarkson racked up 18 points (8-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt) and one assist across 25 minutes during Saturday's 121-112 loss to the Wizards.

Clarkson snapped his streak of five consecutive games with 20 or more points but still led the Jazz in scoring on Saturday with 18 points on 8-of-18 shooting. The Utah guard was perfect from the field in the first quarter, knocking down all three of his shots, including a three, for seven points. He then struggled in the second and third quarters, going a combined 2-of-9 from the field with five points before closing with six points on 3-of-6 shooting in the final period. Clarkson failed to grab a rebound in the contest for the first time this season while his one assist on the night also marked a season low after dishing out at least four in each of his previous three games.

Clarkson amassed 23 points (7-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 125-119 victory over the Hawks.

Clarkson was mostly solid throughout the contest, finishing the first half with 12 points on 3-of-7 shooting from the field. He added another 11 points in the second half, nine of which came during a 40-point fourth quarter for Utah as they retook the lead and handed the Hawks their fourth loss of the season. The Jazz guard has now recorded 20 or more points in five straight games and in seven of his last nine.

Clarkson racked up 23 points (8-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block over 30 minutes during Sunday's 110-102 victory over the Clippers.

Clarkson was unconscious beyond the arc in Sunday's win, drilling six three-pointers in nine attempts. Though Clarkson has spent most of his career as the first man off the bench, his stint in the starting lineup has served him well. Through 11 games, he's averaging 17.9 points, 5.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds.

Clarkson racked up 22 points (9-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 103-100 loss to the Mavericks.

Clarkson reached the 20-point mark for the fourth time in nine contests this season and by now, it's quite common to see him scoring in double digits since he's widely seen as one of the best pure scorers in the league. The efficiency numbers weren't there, but this was Clarkson's second-best scoring mark of the campaign, and he also put up a season-best figure in terms of assists, so he definitively left his mark despite the tight loss. The former Lakers guard is averaging 16.0 points, 5.8 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game in his first full year as a starter since the 2015-16 campagin.

Clarkson notched 11 points (3-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists over 33 minutes during Monday's 121-105 win over the Grizzlies.

Clarkson struggled massively from deep and needed 14 shots just to score 11 points, but he still found a way to salvage his fantasy performance since he ended just three rebounds and three assists away from putting up a triple-double -- both were season-high marks in the respective categories. Even though Clarkson is primarily known as a scorer, he's averaging 5.3 assists and 4.5 rebounds while also putting up 16.5 points per game.

Clarkson produced 20 points (6-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 victory over the Rockets.

Clarkson did the majority of his scoring from beyond the arc, drilling five triples while also contributing on the defensive end. He's now swatted a shot in four straight contests and managed to record his first two steals of the season Wednesday evening. While Clarkson has yet to show consistent production in steals or blocks over the years, he should continue to be a solid source of points, rebounds and assists.

Clarkson accumulated 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block over 28 minutes during Monday's 114-108 loss to Houston.

Although Collin Sexton eagerly waits in the wings, the Jazz have opted to give their perennial sixth men the starting gig in the backcourt, at least for now. Clarkson's skill set is better-suited for the off-guard spot, as Sexton's experience playing off the ball is more limited. Clarkson's spot in the starting five isn't set in stone, however. Sexton started over Clarkson during the preseason, and his meager minutes off the bench may only be temporary.

Clarkson chipped in 29 points (10-17 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 35 minutes during Friday's 132-126 overtime win over the Timberwolves.

Clarkson made his second straight start to begin the season and was key to Utah moving to 2-0, as he led the team in points and ranked second in assists. The veteran guard put up only 10 points in the season opener, but he caught fire Friday, draining seven of 12 shot attempts from deep. He may not remain in the starting five once Colin Sexton gets up to speed, but Clarkson has already proven that he can be an effective scorer even when coming off the bench.

Clarkson posted 19 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Tuesday's 118-101 win over the Trail Blazers.

There's no doubt that Clarkson will play an essential role as the Jazz try to move on without Donovan Mitchell. Although he drew the start Tuesday, it's more likely that Collin Sexton will begin the season as the team's starting shooting guard. Clarkson is most at home as an offensive spark off the bench, and conventional wisdom suggests that his role will remain the same.

The Jazz announced that Clarkson will start in Tuesday's preseason matchup versus Portland.

There is no indication that Clarkson will start over Collin Sexton once regular season rolls around, but he will Tuesday night. Clarkson is in line for a big season with the departure of Donovan Mitchell. Last season he averaged 16.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.8 steals in 27.1 minutes over 79 games.

Clarkson produced 20 points (9-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 102-77 loss to the Mavericks.

The Jazz put together easily their worst game of the series Monday, but Clarkson shined with a team-leading 20 points off the bench. This was the second straight contest in which Clarkson led Utah in scoring -- he put up 25 points on 9-for-16 shooting Saturday. The veteran guard is averaging 18.0 points through the first five games of the series.

Clarkson notched 25 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 100-99 win over the Mavericks.

The veteran guard led the Jazz in scoring as they evened the series at 2-2. Clarkson has topped 20 points twice already this series, averaging 17.5 points, 2.3 boards and 1.8 threes in 27.3 minutes a game so far in the first round, and he should continue being a key offensive contributor off the bench for Utah in Game 5 on Monday.

Clarkson had 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 20 minutes during Saturday's 99-93 win over the Mavericks.

Clarkson averaged 27.1 minutes during the regular season but saw just 20 during Game 1. On a positive note, he's the only guard that came off the bench for Utah, so he has a relatively high floor for minutes and usage.

Clarkson ended Tuesday's 121-115 overtime victory over Memphis with 22 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

This was Clarkson's first 20-point effort since March 20, putting an end to a seven-game mini-slump in which he averaged 16.0 points on just 40.0 percent shooting (31.4% 3Pt). On the whole, Clarkson's numbers are down slightly from last season's career year, but he remains one of the NBA's most dangerous bench scorers.

Clarkson contributed 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-8 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 loss to the Clippers.

Clarkson's shot was a bit off in the loss, but he provided his typically reliable support with the second unit and made a significant impact. The quintessential sixth man is almost always an upside candidate in DFS play and possesses a strong floor independent of Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley's production.

Clarkson recorded 19 points (7-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 35 minutes during Friday's 107-101 loss to the Hornets.

Clarkson scored in double figures for a sixth consecutive game. During that stretch, Utah's sixth man has averaged 19.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals in 33.7 minutes per game. As long as Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) remains sidelined, the Jazz will likely ask Clarkson to continue handling a larger portion of the offensive responsibilities.

Clarkson ended Monday's 114-106 loss to Brooklyn with 19 points (7-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and three steals in 37 minutes.

Clarkson scored in double figures for a 10th time in March and registered a season-high three steals. Across his last 12 appearances, he's averaged 19.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals in 29.1 minutes per game. As long as Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) remains sidelined, Utah will likely ask their sixth man to continue handling a larger portion of the offensive responsibilities.

Clarkson recorded 23 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 108-93 win over New York.

Clarkson dropped at least 20 points for the third straight game as he continues to take advantage of what has been a favorable last week. With the Jazz down two regular starters, Clarkson has been called upon to shoulder more of the offensive responsibilities. His overall value is almost entirely reliant on his ability to score the basketball, his peripheral numbers of late have certainly been a welcome surprise. Until the Jazz are fully healthy, Clarkson should be added across most formats.

Clarkson poured in a career-high 45 points (15-21 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 8-8 FT) and added two assists, one steal and one block across 35 minutes Saturday in the Jazz's 134-125 win over the Kings.

With Mike Conley (rest) and Rudy Gobert (foot) sitting out the second half of a back-to-back set, Utah needed somebody to step up and Clarkson certainly answered the call. As per usual, Clarkson didn't offer much in the way of peripheral numbers, but those rostering him for production in the scoring, three-pointers and free-throw percentage categories couldn't have come away happier with his performance. Though Clarkson has taken a step back in 2021-22 after winning the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award a season ago, he's still been a serviceable back-end roster option in 12-team leagues with averages of 15.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 triples, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals on 41.6 percent shooting from the field and 84.8 percent shooting from the charity stripe.

Clarkson posted 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, one steal and one block across 24 minutes Friday in the Jazz's 104-102 loss to the Spurs.

The 17 points were roughly on par with his season average (15.5 per game), but the efficient shooting from the field and production in the rebounds and defensive categories were nice supplements to Clarkson's line. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on him making a regular all-around impact, but Clarkson's 1-for-3 showing from the free-throw line can be viewed as an outlier. He's converting at an 83.8 percent clip from the charity stripe for the season.

Clarkson finished with 20 points (8-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 victory over the Thunder.

With Mike Conley (rest) out, Clarkson's sixth-man appearance was fairly productive, and he ultimately was a better option than Trent Forrest, who got the starting nod while Donovan Mitchell moved to point guard. Since Clarkson only played 27 minutes, he should once again factor in heavily Monday against the Mavericks.

Clarkson had 22 points (10-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 118-114 victory over the Suns.

Clarkson had consistent playing time off the bench in February, and he closed out the month by topping 20 points for the first time since Jan. 26. While he had been limited to just five assists and three rebounds across the last three games, he had a more well-rounded performance against Phoenix. Clarkson has been a consistent scorer, but his fantasy upside can often be dependent on his unreliable results in other categories.

Clarkson racked up 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's 114-109 win over the Mavericks.

Clarkson was quiet in the victory, racking up just 13 points in a very subdued performance. It was not a good night for Clarkson, who continues to offer upside in very few areas. As seen here, when his shot isn't falling, he has very little to fall back on. With such a limited skill set, he should be viewed as more of a streaming option in highly competitive leagues.

Clarkson finished Wednesday's 106-101 loss to the Lakers with 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 22 minutes.

Clarkson was the only reserve to notch double-digit points for the Jazz against the team for whom he played his first three-plus NBA seasons. The veteran guard has scored at least 13 points in nine straight contests and continues to be the primary source of offense off the bench for Utah. Clarkson's scoring and three-point production give him some fantasy value, but he doesn't do enough beyond those categories to be more than a low-end asset.

Clarkson had 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Monday's 113-104 victory over the Knicks.

Clarkson missed Utah's previous two games with a knee injury, but he didn't show any rust across 22 minutes in his return. The veteran guard unsurprisingly led Jazz reserves with 16 points while shooting an efficient 6-for-12 from the field. Clarkson's numbers are down in comparison to last season's Sixth Man of the Year campaign, but he still ranks among the league's top reserves with 15.5 points, 3.5 boards, 2.4 dimes and 2.6 three-pointers per contest.

Clarkson (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Knicks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson was unavailable the past two games with knee soreness and will return to the court Monday after being listed questionable. He's averaging 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 26.6 minutes per contest and should continue to operate as Utah's primary bench scorer.

Clarkson (knee) went through Utah's morning shootaround around of Monday's matchup with the Knicks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson is officially listed as questionable after missing back-to-back games due to a sore right knee. After practicing Sunday and going through shootaround Monday, he is trending towards being available against New York.

Clarkson (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks.

A sore knee kept Clarkson out of the last two games, but he was able to practice Sunday so he should have a good chance to return to the lineup Monday night. If he does play, it would be the first game since Jan. 17 in which both Clarkson and Donovan Mitchell are available.

Clarkson (knee) was a full participant during Sunday's practice, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson has missed back-to-back games with right knee soreness, but he'll have a good chance to return Monday. His potential return would likely mean lesser roles for Jared Butler and Trent Forrest, who have both seen extended playing time over Utah's last two contests.

Clarkson will not play in Friday's game versus the Nets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Clarkson's absence will be his second straight game missed due to right knee sorenss. His next chance to return will come Monday against the Knicks.

Clarkson (knee) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Nets.

Clarkson sat out Wednesday's win over the Nuggets with right knee soreness. If he returns, he'll likely go back to his usual workload since Donovan Mitchell (concussion) is expected to play.

Clarkson (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's matchup against the Nuggets, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will miss Wednesday's matchup due to right knee soreness. This will be just the second time that the 29-year-old has been sidelined this season. Jared Butler and Trent Forrest figure to see increased roles in his absence.

Clarkson is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to right knee soreness.

Clarkson played 34 minutes in Sunday's loss to Minnesota but is now dealing with a knee issue ahead of Wednesday's matchup. If he's unable to play against Denver, Trent Forrest (ankle) and Jared Butler could see additional run.

Clarkson notched 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to Minnesota.

Clarkson struggled with his shot, ending with 17 points in the loss. The points total is nice; however, the bigger news to come out of the night was the knee injury suffered by Joe Ingles. While there is no word on the severity of the injury, the fact it was a non-contact scenario does not bode well for his immediate playing future. If he is to miss any amount of time, Clarkson is going to be called upon to do a bit more on a nightly basis, making him a must-add player in all formats.

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.

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.

Clarkson will come off the bench Wednesday against the Suns.

Clarkson made his first start of the season Monday and delivered 22 points (9-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals, but he'll shift back to the bench with Mike Conley (knee) rejoining the lineup Wednesday. Donovan Mitchell (concussion) remains out, so Clarkson could have a higher offensive workload than usual off the bench.

Clarkson racked up 22 points (9-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 115-109 loss to the Suns.

With Donovan Mitchell (concussion) and Mike Conley (knee) sidelined, Clarkson drew his first start of the season and performed well. Clarkson remains one of the steadiest sixth-men in the league, and although he was a bit out of his element in the first unit, he provided his customary spark right away. Regardless of his order in the rotation, Clarkson is a consistent multi-category contributor who can generate elite numbers if his shot is running pure.

Clarkson is starting Monday's game against the Suns, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Clarkson draws his first start of the 2021 season with Utah electing to rest Mike Conley. Donovan Mitchell (concussion), Bojan Bogdanovic (finger), Joe Ingles (ankle) and Rudy Gobert (calf) are also all out for the Jazz, so Clarkson should see plenty of playing time Monday evening.

Clarkson registered 19 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 loss to the Rockets.

As expected, Clarkson had an excellent evening with Donovan Mitchell (concussion) sidelined. Clarkson can always be counted on for steady numbers in the second unit, but he's instrumental when Utah's backcourt is banged up. If Mitchell's absence extends beyond Wednesday, Clarkson should be a chalky add to DFS rosters and a clear start in seasonal leagues.

Clarkson supplied 22 points (8-17 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 111-91 loss to Cleveland.

Rudy Gobert's (COVID-19) absence has exposed some chinks in Utah's armor, and several players have needed to step up during their four-game skid. Clarkson routinely pitches in with solid numbers when a starter is absent, and this week is no exception. His 22-point performance marked his third-best scoring performance of the season.

Clarkson racked up 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 126-116 loss to the Pistons. He also had four turnovers.

Clarkson has now exceeded 15 points in six of his previous eight contests, averaging 17.9 points on 47.5 percent shooting over that stretch. He's also connected on multiple threes in five straight games. Clarkson is still shooting a career-worst 39.7 percent from the field on the season, but is perhaps turning the corner.

Clarkson (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Pacers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson was held out Friday against the Raptors due to a back injury. He's averaged 17.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 28.4 minutes per game across his last seven appearances and should be back in action Saturday.

Clarkson (back) is out Friday against the Raptors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Although Clarkson participated in Friday's shootaround, he'll be unable to suit up for the first half of the back-to-back set. Jared Butler and Trent Forrest should see additional playing time in the backcourt.

Clarkson (back) went through shootaround ahead of Friday's game against Toronto, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson has been nursing a sore lower back and is officially listed as questionable, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. With Donovan Mitchell (back) and Mike Conley (injury management) already ruled out, Clarkson could function as the No. 1 offensive option if he's cleared to take the court.

Clarkson (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Toronto, Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

While it's difficult to discern how many players on Utah's extensive injury report are actually dealing with real injuries, Clarkson has been nursing a sore lower-back of late, so the team will keep an eye on his status heading into a Friday/Saturday back-to-back. With Donovan Mitchell (back) and Mike Conley (injury management) already ruled out, Clarkson could function as the No. 1 offensive option if he's cleared to take the court.

Clarkson (back) will play in Wednesday's game against Denver, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

As expected, Clarkson will be available presumably off the bench for a 38th straight time this season. The 29-year-old is currently posting 15.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists and is shooting 39.5 percent overall from the field.

Clarkson is probable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to low back tightness.

Clarkson and Donovan Mitchell (back) are probable, while a handful of their teammates are questionable. Both guards could be in line for increased roles if the Jazz end up quite shorthanded.

Clarkson closed with 23 points (9-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 110-104 win over the Spurs.

Clarkson took over the offensive leadership role in the victory, filling in admirably for the injured Donovan Mitchell (back strain). It's been a rough season for Clarkson and so chances are he could be available on waiver wires in highly competitive leagues. His uptick in production is likely to just be a short-term thing but given all the current player absences, any production is super-important.

Clarkson accumulated 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 26 minutes in Friday's 128-126 loss to the Spurs.

Clarkson's 21 points were the second highest on the team behind Donovan Mitchell's 27. The sixth-man of the year candidate is averaging 15.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 3.1 triples across 25.6 minutes per game in December.

Clarkson notched 18 points (6-14 FG, 6-13 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 136-104 victory over the Timberwolves.

Clarkson tied his season high in three-point attempts, despite seeing just 24 minutes of action off the bench in the blowout victory. In terms of counting stats, Clarkson hasn't been quite as productive as last season, due in large part to the fact that he entered Wednesday shooting just 37.0 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from deep. He's also regressed at the free throw line, hitting 82.6 percent of his attempts after shooting career-best 89.6 percent last season.

Clarkson logged 22 points (7-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Monday's 129-107 win over Portland.

Clarkson trailed only Donovan Mitchell (30 points) for high-scoring honors among Jazz players, thanks primarily to a season-high six three-pointers. The veteran guard has notched at least 20 points in three of his past five games, though he failed to reach double-digits in the other two. Clarkson's lack of peripheral stats makes him a low-end option in fantasy.

Clarkson racked up 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 110-104 victory over Oklahoma City.

This is what you get with Clarkson who is one of the more hit-or-miss fantasy options around. Production such as this certainly warrants attention in 12-team leagues. Unfortunately, he is just as likely to come out in the next game and shoot 2-of-13 from the field, with very little else. He probably should be rostered in most places but moving on to grab a hot free agent is also a viable strategy.

Clarkson racked up 25 points (8-17 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 loss to the Heat.

Clarkson continues to put up a high volume of shots off the bench. Saturday's performance may help put to end a bad stretch of games for the sixth man. Over Clarkson's previous six appearances, he was averaging just 12.0 points on 31.3 percent shooting.

Clarkson had 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), three rebounds, an assist and a block in a 110-98 win over the Hawks on Tuesday.

Clarkson opened the 2021/22 campaign by scoring between 25 and 19 points in six straight games, but has fluctuated wildly in his scoring contributions (2, 30, 7, 6, 16) since that stretch. Clarkson is shooting just 23.8 percent from three -- theoretically a prime contribution of his -- and is expendable in standard leagues should better options be available.

Clarkson scored 30 points (10-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), chipping in four rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes in a 116-98 win over the Hawks on Thursday night.

Clarkson bounced back with a huge performance after shooting 1-for-13 on Tuesday, exceeding 20 points for the first time this season In the absence of Donovan Mitchell (ankle), Clarkson logged a ridiculous plus-29 in the box rating. He won't supply much besides points, but the reigning sixth man of the year is a good source of them. His fantasy appeal will skyrocket on nights where Mitchell is inactive.

Clarkson totaled 15 points (6-17 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist in 26 minutes during Sunday's 107-95 victory over the Bucks.

Clarkson did just what he needed to Sunday, coming off the bench to score in double-digits yet again. Despite a consistent role, Clarkson is the epitome of a one-dimensional fantasy player. His value comes entirely from his ability to score the basketball and while he can do that with relative consistency, it does make him expendable in some formats.

Clarkson recorded 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win over Denver.

Clarkson has yet to play more than 27 minutes in any game this season, but that hasn't stopped him to be a productive scoring threat off the bench. The 19 points were a season-high mark for the veteran, but he has scored at least 15 points in each of his three appearances to date. Despite his bench role, Clarkson should be a strong play in most formats due to his explosive scoring ability -- the same one that saw him average a career-high 18.4 points per game last season en route to winning the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award.

Clarkson will start in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.

With the Jazz electing to give Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley and several other key players the night off for rest purposes, Clarkson will make his first start of the preseason. He averaged 18.4 points, four rebounds and 2.5 assists in 18.4 minutes per game last season en route to earning the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award for 2021.

Clarkson had 21 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 131-119 loss to the Clippers.

On the stat sheet, Clarkson looks like he had a very solid game, but he actually only really had an excellent quarter because all 21 of his points were scored in the second quarter. He shot 66 percent from the floor and at one point scored 17 straight points. He disappeared at all other stages of the game but finished with an excellent season, averaging a career-best 18.4 points and 3.1 three-pointers per game while earning the 2021 Sixth Man of the Year award.

Clarkson ended with just eight points (3-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 118-104 loss to the Clippers.

Much like Marcus Morris for the Clippers, Clarkson is somewhat of a measuring stick for the Jazz. Despite typically producing on the offensive end only, his production, or lack thereof, certainly appears to influence the outcome of the game. With play now shifting back to Utah, they will be hoping Clarkson can rediscover his form from earlier in the series.

Clarkson scored 14 points (5-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and registered three rebounds along with three assists across 31 minutes Saturday in a loss to the Clippers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Clarkson finished as Utah's third-leading scorer in the loss, but he missed 11 of his 16 field-goal attempts and logged a rough minus-24 in his 31 minutes on the court. The reserve guard entered the contest averaging 19.3 points over seven postseason games and will continue to serve as the offensive focal point of Utah's second unit.

Clarkson scored 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt) and dished two assists over 27 minutes in Thursday's 117-111 victory versus the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

The recently-named NBA Sixth Man of the year provided his usual spark off the bench for Utah in the contest, finishing with exactly 24 points for the third time in his past four games. He trailed only Donovan Mitchell for top scoring honors among Jazz players in the win. Over seven playoff contests, Clarkson has posted per-game averages of 19.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 3.1 three-pointers.

Clarkson notched 24 points (9-20 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, two steals and a rebound across 31 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies.

Clarkson scored at least 15 points in each of the Jazz's wins during the series and while he struggled with his shot from deep -- making just 29.4 percent of his treys in that span -- he still ended the series on a strong note with back-to-back 24-point performances. He averaged 18.6 points while shooting 40.8 percent from the field and 23.8 percent from deep during this first-round series.

Clarkson totaled 24 points (8-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and six rebounds in 22 minutes during Monday's 120-113 victory over the Grizzlies.

Clarkson played just 22 minutes in the victory but certainly had an impact during his time on the court. The Grizzles made repeated attempts to get back into this one but Clarkson seemed to be a constant hurdle with his clutch shooting. Now leading the series 3-1, the Jazz will look to wrap things up on Wednesday on their home court. Look for Clarkson to continue firing away as the primary scoring option off the bench.

Clarkson had 16 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT) and six rebounds in Wednesday's Game 2 win over Memphis.

While the Jazz were able to dominate most of the game and even the series at 1-1, it wasn't exactly a bounceback game for Clarkson, who struggled from the floor and committed four turnovers in Game 1. While he put up 16 points in just 22 minutes Wednesday, Clarkson did much of his damage at the free throw line, as he again had trouble finding the bottom of the net from downtown. Clarkson will head into Saturday's Game 3 having hit just 1-of-14 three-point attempts in the series.

Clarkson was awarded with the 2020-21 Kia NBA Sixth Man award on Monday.

The best regular season of Clarkson's career was capped off by him taking home the award for the best bench player in the league. Over the course of the regular season, the 28-year-old guard averaged 18.4 points on 42.5 percent shooting, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3.1 triples per game. The scoring, rebounding and three-point numbers all marked career highs for the score-first guard as he helped Utah to the best record in the NBA during the regular season. Clarkson hit the 40-point mark two times during the regular season, with his season high coming in a 41-point outburst in a May 10 loss to Golden State. He struggled a bit in Game 1 of the playoffs against the Grizzlies, tallying 14 points (5-16 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 30 minutes.

Clarkson tallied 14 points (5-16 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Sunday's 112-109 loss to the Grizzlies.

The 28-year-old struggled from the field, missing all eight of his attempts from three-point range, snapping a streak of 94 games with at least one made three-pointer. Clarkson ended the regular season strong, averaging 27.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.0 three-pointers, 3.6 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting 50.0 percent from the field over his last seven games before Sunday's subpar performance. The Sixth Man of the Year-hopeful will look to bounce back shooting-wise Wednesday at home against the Grizzlies.

Clarkson compiled 33 points (11-20 FG. 6-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two steals across 32 minutes in Sunday's 121-99 win over the Kings.

Clarkson is a top candidate to win Sixth Man of the Year, and he made a final case for the title with an explosive total. Clarkson saw plenty of minutes with Mike Conley continuing to progress after a lengthy absence, and he's also responsible for shouldering a heavy load throughout Donovan Mitchell's revoery. The Jazz hope to have Mitchell back soon, but Clarkson's production will be crucial in propping up the backcourt game.

Clarkson provided 29 points (11-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists during Wednesday's 105-98 loss to Portland.

Following up his season-high 41-point performance Monday, Clarkson once again led the Jazz offensively off the bench with his fourth consecutive outing reaching at least the 21-point mark. Clarkson has significantly picked up the pace on the offensive end lately. The guard is currently averaging 28.4 points across his past five contests which is considerably above his season average of 18.0 points.

Clarkson registered 41 points (16-33 FG, 5-16 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 119-116 loss to the Warriors.

The 28-year-old has now scored 20-plus points in four straight games, a span in which he's averaging 28.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 3.8 three-pointers and 0.8 steals while shooting 48.3 percent from the field. Clarkson is averaging career highs in points (18.0), rebounds (4.1) and three-pointers (3.0) through 65 games this season. The seventh-year guard is making a strong case for NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award and he'll look to keep the good times rolling Wednesday at home against the Blazers.

Clarkson had 21 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds and a block across 28 minutes in Saturday's win over Houston.

Clarkson has posted 21 points in back-to-back games and has reached the 20-point plateau in three straight contests, something that has been quite common with him this season. A Sixth Man of the Year award candidate, Clarkson is averaging 19.1 points per game off the bench over his last 11 appearances and should remain a reliable fantasy asset across all formats, especially with Donovan Mitchell (ankle) still sidelined.

Clarkson mustered 21 points (6-20 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and two steals across 37 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Nuggets.

Clarkson registered three straight games with 16 or fewer points over the last two weeks, but he has bounced back in his last two appearances. The prolific shooting guard, who's one of the biggest candidates to win the Sixth Man of the Year Award, is averaging 19.5 points per contest over his past 12 appearances since returning from a brief four-game absence in early April.

Clarkson finished with 30 points (12-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 126-94 victory over the Spurs.

Clarkson had his way with the Spurs in what was another blowout victory. Had this game been even remotely close, Clarkson could have had the opportunity to pour in more points. As it was, GMs have to be thrilled with the production after what had been a string of inefficient performances.

Clarkson scored 16 points (7-20 FG, 2-10 3Pt) to go along with six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes in Monday's win over the Spurs.

Clarkson led the team with 20 attempts from the field, but shot a horrific 35 percent from the field and 20 percent from three-point range. He did manage to contribute in other areas of the box score, though his five assists were offset by five turnovers. Across his last three games, Clarkson has gone just 16-for-53 from the field -- including 5-for-24 from beyond the arc.

Clarkson had 12 points (3-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in Friday's loss to Phoenix.

The Jazz were without Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Mike Conley (rest), and Clarkson was unable to pick up the slack in 29 minutes off the bench. Coming off of a 23-point effort during Wednesday's decimation of the Kings, Clarkson hit just three of his 15 field-goal attempts while going just 2-of-8 from beyond the arc.

Clarkson collected 13 points (5-20 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and two steals in a 105-104 loss to the Timberwolves on Monday.

Clarkson had a rough shooting game, especially from behind the arc, but contributed decent counting stats. The guard had made multiple triples in ten consecutive games prior to Monday's contest. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) missing the team's last five games, Clarkson has been the go-to man on Utah's offense, averaging a team-high 19.8 points on 19.0 shot attempts.

Clarkson provided 15 points (5-16 FG, 3=10 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists, a steal and a blocked shot across 28 minutes in Saturday's 101-96 loss to the Timberwolves.

As one might expect, Clarkson's role has expanded amidst Donovan Mitchell's absence, and he rattled off three consecutive games with 22-plus points heading into Saturday's game. Despite the slight regression, Clarkson is in no immediate danger of dropping off, and when Mitchell returns, he will continue to serve as one of the league's best sixth men.

Clarkson scored 22 points (7-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT) with five rebounds and one assist in a 112-89 victory over the Rockets on Wednesday.

Clarkson scored 20-plus points for the third consecutive contest, as he continues to fill in for Donovan Mitchell (ankle) as Utah's go-to option on offense. Since returning from a four-game absence due to an ankle injury, the guard has averaged a team-high 22.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

Clarkson tallied 27 points (11-27 FG, 5-15 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 46 minutes during Saturday's overtime loss to the Lakers.

The 28-year-old drew his first start of the season with Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Mike Conley (rest) out and took a season-high 27 shots in a season-high 46 minutes. Clarkson hasn't missed a beat since returning from a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, averaging 22.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 three-pointers, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals over his last two games. The seventh-year guard is looking at a spike in usage with Mitchell out at least a week.

Clarkson will start Saturday's contest against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Mike Conley (rest) out, Clarkson and Joe Ingles will get the starts in the backcourt. It will be Clarkson's first start of the season. In games where he's seen at least 25 minutes, he's averaged 19.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

Clarkson (ankle) contributed 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and a steal in Friday's 119-111 victory over the Pacers.

After missing four games with an ankle sprain, Clarkson returned and saw an extended run in the third and fourth quarters when Donovan Mitchell went down with an ankle injury. He and Joe Ingles should see an uptick in minutes and have more opportunities to lead the Jazz offense depending on the severity of Mitchell's injury. Despite not starting a game this season, Clarkson is averaging a career high in points at 17.2 per game.

Clarkson (ankle) is available for Friday's contest against the Pacers.

As expected, Clarkson is making his return from a four-game absence stemming from a sprained right ankle. Since the start of March, he's averaged 15.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 24.1 minutes.

Clarkson (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Clarkson has missed the last four games due to a right ankle sprain, but he looks on track to likely return Friday. The team will provide further updates Friday ahead of tipoff.

Clarkson (ankle) went through a full practice Thursday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Quin Snyder did note that the session was non-contact, but this is still a step in the right direction for the guard, who's missed the last four games with a sprained ankle. There's a chance he could return Friday against the Pacers, though he'll likely be considered questionable until the team can evaluate him at Friday's shootaround.

Clarkson (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Clarkson appears likely to miss his fourth game in a row due to a sprained right ankle. If he is sidelined, he will have a few days to recover before the team's next game Friday against Indiana. Matt Thomas and Miye Oni would likely see increased workloads if he is out again.

Clarkson (ankle) will not play Monday against the Wizards, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Clarkson will miss his third game in a row due a right ankle sprain. Considering he had been listed as doubtful for Monday's contest, it seems fairly unlikely that he will be available to return for Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City.

Clarkson (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Clarkson appears to be on track to miss his third consecutive game due to a sprained right ankle. With Mike Conley (hamstring) unavailable for Monday's contest, Donovan Mitchell and Matt Thomas should see plenty of run if Clarkson is ultimately held out.

Clarkson (ankle) is out Saturday against the Kings.

As expected, Clarkson will remain out for a second straight game. In his absence, Matt Thomas, Joe Ingles and Miye Oni are candidates to see more action.

Clarkson (ankle) is considered doutbful for Saturday's matchup with the Wizards, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Barring a quick return to health, Clarkson looks on track to miss his second consecutive game due to a sprained right ankle. Should he ultimately get ruled out, look for Joe Ingles to see a larger workload off the bench, while Matt Thomas could also get some run.

Clarkson (ankle) will not play in Thursday's game against Portland.

Clarkson will miss his first game of the season due to a right ankle sprain. In his absence Thursday, Joe Ingles and Matt Thomas could shoulder larger workloads.

Clarkson is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a sprained right ankle.

Clarkson suffered the injury during Wednesday's overtime loss to the Suns, and he's not feeling healthy enough to play just one day later. With both he and Mike Conley (rest) presumably out, Matt Thomas, Joe Ingles and Miye Oni are candidates to see expanded roles.

Clarkson posted 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), nine assists, two rebounds and a steal across 21 minutes in Saturday's 137-91 win over the Magic.

Mike Conley's (rest) absence left the door open for Clarkson to enjoy an extended run, but his usage faded along with the starters as the contest got out of hand. Still, it was a nice bounce-back for the perennial sixth-man, who suffered through some poor shooting performances of late. Although Clarkson is known for creating his own shots in space, he logged a season-high nine assists in the lopsided victory.

Clarkson tallied 24 points (8-22 FG, 4-15 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 111-107 victory over Memphis.

Clarkson led the team in shot attempts but connected on just 36 percent from the floor. Despite ending with 24 points, his shooting woes continued, as did his lack of peripheral production. Clarkson remains a standard league asset, although, his upside is limited given his lack of across-the-board contributions.

Clarkson posted nine points (3-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assists in 19 minutes during Monday's 114-75 win over the Cavaliers.

Coming fresh off Saturday's 28-point explosion, Clarkson underwhelmed against his former team. Surprisingly, Monday's poor shooting performance wasn't his worst of the week as he went 1-for-15 against Brooklyn back on March 24. The seventh-year guard's scoring has been a roller coaster lately, posting 7, 11, 16, 3, 14, 28, and 9 points over his last seven games, respectively. He'll look to bounce back Wednesday on the road against the Grizzlies.

Clarkson posted 28 points (11-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Saturday's 126-110 win over the Grizzlies.

With Mike Conley on the bench for injury management, Clarkson was expected to play a pivotal role. The adept sixth man turned in his best scoring performance since mid-February when he pounded the Sixers with 40 points. Conley's propensity to sit on back-to-backs gives Clarkson almost-weekly opportunities to post a big number, and game flow largely dictates his rate of success in the remaining contests.

Clarkson scored 16 points (6-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and added five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 120-95 blowout victory against the Bulls.

The Sixth Man of the year-hopeful wasn't efficient in this one, but he continues to score double-digit points off the bench. Clarkson is having a career year, averaging a career-high 17.6 points and 3.9 rebounds over his first 42 games of the season. He has been one of the NBA's top-tier second-unit scorers this season, and he should continue to provide fantasy managers with plenty of points along with low-end rebounds and assists the rest of the way.

Clarkson registered 20 points (6-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 117-109 win against the Celtics.

The 28-year-old now has six games with five-plus three-pointers. Clarkson is averaging career-highs in points (17.9), three-pointers (3.2) and free-throw percentage (97 percent) through 39 games. He's one of the top candidates for the Sixth Man of the Year award, and he should continue seeing heavy minutes off the bench for the top-seeded Jazz.

Clarkson played 25 minutes off the bench and contributed 21 points (9-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds and two steals in Sunday's loss to the Warriors.

That's now 33 straight games that Clarkson has hit double figures in points despite coming off the bench. While six other Jazz players saw more minutes on the court, Clarkson led the way with 23 shot attempts. He's also added at least five rebounds in four of his last five games though he's failed to dish out an assist in two straight.

Clarkson collected 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in Utah's 129-124 loss to New Orleans on Monday.

Clarkson continued his strong play off the bench scoring in double figures for an impressive 30th straight game. The guard had been scoring well of late due to a high number of shot attempts, but Clarkson was efficient on his opportunities Monday. He will look to follow-up a solid month of February, where he averaged 18.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists for the first-place Jazz.

Clarkson went for 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win over the Magic.

Clarkson has been one of the league's premier second-unit scorers all season long and once again proved his worth for the Jazz's offensive scheme, as he ended as the team's second-highest scorer despite the fact that seven Utah players recorded at least 10 points. Clarkson has scored at least 15 points in six of his last seven appearances, and while he's never going to be an accurate shooter, he is shooting with enough volume and holds a big-enough role to be a valuable asset in most formats even if he's not a regular starter.

Clarkson scored 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and grabbed four rebounds in Wednesday's 114-89 victory over the Lakers.

Clarkson tied for the team lead in scoring against the club that drafted him, finishing with double-digit points for the 27th straight contest. The guard is enjoying his finest season and is in contention for the league's Sixth Man award with per-game averages of 18.3 points, 3.3 three-pointers, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists.

Clarkson scored 40 points (13-20 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and added two steals and one assist in Utah's 134-123 victory over Philadelphia on Monday.

Clarkson could not be stopped on his way to a new season-high point total. The Sixth Man of the Year front-runner is having a career-year and is the second leading scorer for Utah this season. Over the last five games, all of which Mike Conley (hamstring) has missed, Clarkson is averaging 21.2 points, 3.4 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game.

Clarkson recorded 25 points (10-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes Friday in a 129-115 win versus Milwaukee.

Clarkson was one of four Jazz players (along with Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert and Joe Ingles) who scored 25 points against the Bucks. The veteran's output Friday marked his third-highest scoring tally in what is set to be his first full season with Utah. Two of Clarkson's three best scoring performances have occurred against a defensively sturdy Bucks team.

Clarkson had 17 points (7-19 FG, 3-10 3PT) in Sunday's win over the Pacers.

As usual, the bulk of Clarkson's fantasy production came in the scoring column, and he also chipped in multiple three-pointers for the eighth consecutive game. During that span, Clarkson has launched at least 10 attempts five times. For the year, he's averaging a career-best 17.6 points to go with 4.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 3.1 made threes per game.

Clarkson recorded 23 points (9-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and seven rebounds across 25 minutes Thursday in a 112-91 win at Atlanta.

Clarkson was the Jazz's leader in points across five of 22 games, showing his scoring prowess as their sixth man has been no fluke. His 17.7 PPG is both second among Jazz players (behind Donovan Mitchell, 23.0) and on pace to be a career high. And considering Utah's league-best 17-5 record, Clarkson has surely made him a frontrunner for the Sixth Man of the Year Award this season.

Clarkson is averaging 12.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.5 minutes across the past two games with Donovan Mitchell back in the lineup.

As expected, Clarkson's role has normalized following a two-game absence from Mitchell, where Clarkson became a driving force of the offense. Clarkson is still worth rostering in most fantasy leagues, at least for a bench spot.

Clarkson ended with 31 points (11-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, one steal and one block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 116-104 victory over the Mavericks.

With no Donovan Mitchell (concussion), Clarkson stood tall for the Jazz, dropping a season-high 31 points. He is putting together the best fantasy season of his career yet remains somewhat under the radar. He is right on the cusp of being a top-50 player and is certainly outplaying Bojan Bogdanovic. This area seems as though it will be Clarkson's ceiling moving forward and so you could consider selling high if you can drag a potential top-40 player away.

Clarkson recorded 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3PT, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during the 127-108 win against Golden State on Saturday.

Clarkson has yet to start a match this season, but has been a great player off the bench. Clarkson continues to be the most influential player in the secondary-unit and is a very impactful role-player. Clarkson's main source of production is his shooting, but he does move the ball and grabs a few per match in the paint. If you are in need of a solid guard who gets consistent time and produces, Clarkson is the man.

Clarkson finished with 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes Tuesday in the Jazz's 118-102 win over the Pelicans.

The return of Joe Ingles (Achilles) from a three-game absence didn't seem to hamper Clarkson, who held down a 25.8 percent usage rate on the night and was able to turn in another productive line. Despite being locked into aa second-unit role, Clarkson has seemingly cemented himself as a must-roster option in standard leagues at this point. He's averaging 17.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.1 triples, 2.1 assists and 0.9 steals in 25.4 minutes per game.

Clarkson put up 23 points (9-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go with three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 30 minutes Sunday in the Jazz's 109-105 win over the Nuggets.

With Joe Ingles (Achilles) sidelined for the third game in a row, Clarkson was able to take advantage of being the Jazz's undisputed top option off the bench. The 28-year-old appears to be cementing himself as an early frontrunner for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award; through 13 games, he's averaging a career-high 17.5 points (on 50 percent shooting from the field) to go with 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 triples, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals.

Clarkson registered 16 points (6-17 FG, 4-12 3Pt), seven rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Hawks.

Clarkson has been making a huge impact off the bench for the Jazz, and it wouldn't be a stretch to consider him as Utah's second-best or third-best scoring option. He has scored 15 or more points in five straight games already and has reached that feat in all but three of his appearances to date. He is averaging 17.1 points per game in 12 games off the bench in 2020-21.

Clarkson scored 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt) while adding eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 117-87 win over the Cavaliers.

The eight boards were a season high for the veteran bench weapon, who scored at least 12 points for the sixth straight game. Clarkson's efforts on the glass have been impressive overall, and he's averaging a career-high 4.5 rebounds a game to begin the season -- a strong showing in the category for a player who's posted a mark better than 3.3 only once before in his career.

Clarkson dropped 26 points (10-20 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT) along with six rebounds, two assists and one block in 35 minutes off the bench in the Jazz 131-118 victory over the Bucks.

Clarkson saw the court very early on after Mitchell picked up his second foul less than four minutes into the game and dropped 23 of his 26 points in the first half. Clarkson has now attempted double-digit shots in eight of nine games, shooting better than 50 percent in five of those games.

Clarkson scored a team-high 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 25 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 112-100 loss to the Knicks.

The 28-year-old continues to anchor the second unit for the Jazz, and Clarkson has scored in double digits in seven of eight games to begin the season while draining multiple threes in every contest. He's also on pace for career highs in both FG% (49.5 percent) and FT% (92.3 percent), giving him extra value in roto formats as long as he stays hot.

Clarkson posted 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 23 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 130-109 win over the Spurs.

Clarkson is yet to start a game for the Jazz this season, but that hasn't stopped him from being a reliable scoring force on a nightly basis. The former Lakers guard has scored in double digits in all but one of his appearances this season, and he has reached the 15-point plateau in four of his six games to date as well.

Clarkson produced 23 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and three rebounds across 23 minutes in Saturday's 116-111 loss to the Timberwolves.

Clarkson performed well off the bench for a second consecutive game. Since arriving in Salt Lake City, the former Laker and Cavalier has served as an offensive spark plug with the second unit, and he can inflict damage quickly and decisively, especially from long range. Although he sometimes suffers from a streaky shot, he's one of the best sixth men in the league at the moment.

Clarkson recorded 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 win over the Trail Blazers.

Clarkson was Utah's leading scorer off the bench as the team made easy work of the Trail Blazers. He's not a great fantasy player due to his usual reliance on one category (scoring), but on the nights he's able to rebound or dish some assists, he's valuable in DFS.

Clarkson had 20 points (7-15 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in Thursday's preseason win over the Clippers.

The backup guard was quite efficient despite shooting more three-pointers than anyone else on his team. Clarkson will look to replicate that scoring prowess in what'll likely be his first full season at Utah.

Clarkson compiled 19 points (7-15 FG, 5-10 3PT) and three rebounds across 22 minutes in Saturday's 119-105 win over the Suns.

With Mike Conley (rest) out of the lineup, Clarkson came off the bench to direct a largely unchanged first-unit offense. The 13-year veteran provided several shots in the arm at key moments during the Jazz's playoff run. Clarkson will be the first man off the bench for the team-s second unit once again this season.

Clarkson has agreed to a four-year, $52 million contract with the Jazz, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Clarkson thrived in an instant-offense role off the bench after getting traded to Utah last season and the team clearly values him. He averaged 15.6 points and 2.2 triples across 24.7 minutes in 42 games with the team. He projects to play a very similar role with the team going forward.

Clarkson tallied 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Sunday's 119-107 loss to the Nuggets.

Clarkson couldn't get his long-range shots to fall on Sunday, and poor shot selection resulted in a tepid stat line. Clarkson's contributions from the second unit have been crucial to Utah's success, but his production is subject to considerable variance, especially in this series. While the guard has enormous upside, his bubble performances range from six to 26 points, and his success is usually tied to his fortunes from beyond the arc.

Clarkson contributed 26 points (9-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 Game 2 win over the Nuggets.

Clarkson has combined for 44 points through the first two playoff games while chipping in more than usual in the rebounding and assist columns. He logged 39 minutes in Monday's Game 1 overtime loss and can be expected to continue attacking a Denver defense that's not providing much resistance these days.

Clarkson had 18 points (6-9 FG 5-7 3PT, 1-1 FT) in Monday's loss to Dallas.

Clarkson played only 14 minutes, but he was red-hot in that time, hitting five of his seven three-point attempts and adding three rebounds to his final line.

Clarkson will draw the start Tuesday against Dallas, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News reports.

With Donovan Mitchell (leg) sitting out, the Jazz needed a replacement at shooting guard, and they'll roll with Clarkson. The Missouri product is coming off of a 19-point performance in Saturday's loss to Denver, which marked his fifth time in double-figures in six Orlando games.

Clarkson posted 24 points (8-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists and two rebounds in 24 minutes during Friday's 119-111 loss to the Spurs.

Clarkson scored a team-high 24 points with all the Jazz starters out besides Joe Ingles. It's his second performance in the bubble with 20-plus points, and it's his 19th effort this season overall with at least 20 points. Even once the starters are back, Clarkson should maintain a strong sixth-man role due to the absence of Bojan Bogdanovic

Clarkson recorded 11 points (4-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 110-94 loss to the Thunder.

Clarkson has been doing his best Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist) impression, firing off 17 shots in each of Utah's first two bubble games. He was much more effective in the opener, posting 23 points. While he shot well from three Saturday, he could not make anything from inside the arc and was clearly bothered by the strong defense of the Thunder.

Clarkson scored a team-high 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT) while adding five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 106-104 win over the Pelicans.

All three main members of the Utah backcourt hit for 20 or more points, but it was Clarkson that ended up leading the team in scoring. The veteran guard had trouble getting his shot to fall from beyond the arc but otherwise provided the kind of second-unit punch the Jazz expected from him when the team acquired him from the Cavs in December.

Clarkson scored 17 points (4-9 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT) while adding four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench during Saturday's scrimmage against the Heat.

Despite the long layoff, Clarkson showed little rust Saturday and put up numbers remarkably similar to his production for the Jazz over 34 games after he was acquired from the Cavs. The veteran guard could be a key figure for Utah once play resumes, as the team looks to replace the scoring it will lose with Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist) sidelined.

Clarkson scored 14 points (5-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and added five rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 101-88 loss against the Suns.

Clarkson was a consistent weapon off the bench for the Jazz before play got suspended, and all signs indicate he should continue in that role when play resumes before the end of the month. He wasn't very accurate with his shooting, but that might not matter much as long as he keeps producing at a high rate.

Clarkson averaged 14.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals over his final 10 games before the NBA suspended play.

Clarkson made an immediate positive impact for Utah after coming over from Cleveland via trade in December. He held down a consistent role as one of the first players off the bench, which continued into early March. In his last game before the shutdown, Clarkson went for nine points, three assists and two boards in a loss to Toronto.

Clarkson went for 20 points (9-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 129-119 win over the Wizards,

Clarkson struggled massively against the Celtics with nine points in 4-13 shooting on Wednesday, but he bounced back admirably and produced another stellar performance off the bench for the Jazz. Such has been the norm since his move to Utah, as the former Laker has been a constant scoring source for the Jazz while playing with the second unit. Clarkson has scored in double digits in all but one of his last 13 games for Utah, and he is averaging 19.5 points per game while shooting 52.9 percent from the field and 45.0 percent from deep during that stretch.

Clarkson supplied 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes Monday, as the Jazz lost to the Suns 131-111.

Clarkson was slightly less involved than normal with Donovan Mitchell (11-19 FG) carrying Utah offensively. Nonetheless, Clarkson is amid a strong month, averaging nearly 19 points per game on about 55 percent shooting from the field through February.

Clarkson put up 22 points (10-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt) to go with seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes Saturday in the Jazz's 120-110 loss to the Rockets.

Clarkson's role looked like it might dwindle when he was dealt Dec. 23 from a non-contending Cavaliers squad to a playoff-bound Utah team, but he's actually improved his fantasy outlook since landing in Utah. Over his first 26 outings with the Jazz, Clarkson is averaging 16.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 three-pointers and 1.7 assists in 25.9 minutes while shooting 49.1 percent from the field and 76.6 percent from the charity stripe. He looks like a viable option in 12-team leagues for fantasy managers searching for aid in the points and three-pointers categories.

Clarkson totaled 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 35 minutes during Friday's 113-104 loss to the Spurs.

Clarkson has now scored in double-digits in nine straight games, providing a nice scoring punch off the bench for his new team. Unfortunately, Clarkson typically offers very little outside of scoring and threes, making him more of a streaming option in 12-team leagues.

Clarkson accumulated 21 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 116-101 victory over the Heat.

Clarkson has thrived over the past three games -- the two most recent without Mike Conley (illness) -- averaging 25.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 28.3 minutes. Wednesday also marked Clarkson's third straight game with at least 30 fantasy points. The Jazz are 9-1 this season in games where Clarkson scores at least 20 points on greater than 50 percent shooting.

Clarkson supplied 25 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and a block in 30 minutes during Monday's win over the Mavericks.

Clarkson led the Jazz from the reserves for the second night in a row, finishing with a team-high plus-17 net rating in the process. The veteran guard's played exceptionally well since joining the team during a midseason trade. In 23 games in Utah, all as a reserve, Clarkson's scoring 16.0 points and adding 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 threes and 1.7 assists in 25.4 minutes per game while shooting 48.0 percent from the field and 37.4 percent from three.

Clarkson supplied 30 points (12-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes Sunday night, as the Jazz beat Houston 114-113.

With multiple Utah starters failing to contribute or being inefficient, Clarkson carried Utah to the victory. He has become a primary ball-handler when hot as well as a sizable segment of the minutes in which Donovan Mitchell is on the bench. He has scored at least 12 points in six straight games, hitting the 30-point mark in two of them.

Clarkson had 37 points (13-22 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Thursday's 106-100 loss to the Nuggets.

Clarkson erupted for a season-high 37 points, 24 of which came in the final quarter. With Mike Conley (rest) sitting this one out, it was Clarkson who capitalized on the increased opportunity. As is typically the case with Clarkson, his supporting numbers were minimal. Despite this impressive performance, Clarkson is a backend 12-team option at best, with his primary role being more of a points and threes streamer.

Clarkson registered 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 127-120 loss at San Antonio.

Clarkson's playing time has remained steady of late, but this could be considered as a nice bounce-back effort for the scoring guard -- Clarkson had scored 10 or fewer points in four straight contests prior to this matchup. He needs to work on his shooting percentages, however, as he has made just 35.8 percent of his field goals and 23.1 percent of his three-point attempts during his last five outings.

Clarkson had 10 points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Utah's 129-96 win over Golden State on Wednesday.

Despite the off-night, Clarkson's significant role remained, as he led the Jazz bench in minutes. That being said, now that he is 6-of-20 over his past two games, it'll be worth monitoring if coach Quin Snyder adjusts the rotations in response to his slump.

Clarkson finished with 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 123-101 victory over Sacramento.

Clarkson scored in double-digits for the eighth consecutive game, helping the Jazz to a comfortable victory. Clarkson has been a nice addition in Utah, providing a scoring punch off the bench. His fantasy value is almost completely dependant on his scoring numbers making him more of a deep-league must-roster player. If you are in a 12-team league and need a quick boost in points, Clarkson could also be worth streaming in from time-to-time.

Clarkson had 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3PT, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes off the bench minutes during Thursday's 138-132 overtime loss at New Orleans.

Clarkson struggled from the field in this one, but at least he extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to six games -- he is averaging 16.3 points on 47.1 percent shooting during that stretch. Even if his shot disappears from time to time, Clarkson should remain a reliable scoring threat and a productive fantasy asset off Utah's bench moving forward.

Clarkson contributed 23 points (10-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 win over the Wizards.

Clarkson has scored at least 20 in consecutive contests and has now reached that mark in three of nine appearances with the Jazz. After scoring at least 20 six times through 29 games with the Cavaliers this season prior to the trade, Clarkson hasn't lost much, if any, value from a fantasy perspective, though it remains to be seen if that will hold true once the club is closer to full strength.

Clarkson had 20 points (8-15 FG, 3-9 3PT, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 109-92 win over the Hornets.

Clarkson matched his highest-scoring effort since being traded to the Jazz, while also tying his season-best marks for rebounds and assists since moving to Utah. Clarkson should remain as a reliable bench scoring threat as he is averaging 14.3 points while playing 24.6 minutes per game since joining the team.

Clarkson totaled just 11 points, one assist, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 128-104 victory over New York.

Clarkson had very little impact during Wednesday's victory, barely notching double-digits. Since joining the Jazz, Clarkson has scored at least 10 points in five of his seven games. Unfortunately, that is where his productivity ends and he sits well outside the top-150 over that period.

Clarkson (not injury related) has passed his physical and will be available to make his Jazz debut Thursday against the Trail Blazers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

As expected, Clarkson will be immediately available to contribute to his new squad. It's unclear what sort of workload he might be in for during his first contest, and it's possible his minutes will fluctuate moving forward as coach Quin Snyder figures out a role for him.
