Jazz's Walter Clayton: Sees 21 minutes in loss
Clayton closed Tuesday's 129-119 loss to the Celtics with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one assist and one block over 21 minutes.
Clayton logged 20-plus minutes for a second straight game with Ace Bailey (hip) sidelined, though the former was unable to replicate his 17-point performance from Saturday's win over the Spurs. Clayton has scored in double figures in two of his last five appearances, during which he has averaged 8.0 points, 2.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds across 16.8 minutes per tilt.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Limited role continues
Clayton amassed six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 17 minutes during Monday's 135-112 loss to the Nuggets.
Clayton played more than 15 minutes, albeit barely, for the first time in the past five games. It's been an underwhelming rookie season for Clayton, averaging 6.1 points and 3.3 assists in 16.1 minutes per game. The assumed trajectory in Utah could ultimately lead to Clayton having a sizeable role at some point. However, that doesn't appear as though it is going to happen any time soon.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Assigned to G League
Utah assigned Clayton to the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Monday.
Clayton produced 20 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and nine assists across 29 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 131-101 loss to the Thunder in what was arguably the best game of his NBA career. The Jazz are off until Friday, however, so this move may just be the franchise trying to maximize his reps.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Career-best numbers in loss
Clayton totaled 20 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and nine assists across 29 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 131-101 loss to the Thunder.
The rookie guard very nearly came away with his first career double-double, instead setting new career highs in points and assists. Clayton, the 18th overall pick in the 2025 Draft, has begun to see a more consistent role as part of the second unit, and over the last five games, he's averaging 12.0 points, 5.4 assists, 2.6 boards and 1.4 threes in 22.2 minutes a contest while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Muted numbers in loss
Clayton ended with eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 18 minutes during Sunday's 129-101 loss to the Rockets.
Clayton went scoreless in his last two outings, so it was encouraging to see him bounce back with a productive stat line, even though it came due to the blowout aspect of the game. The rookie was just recalled from the Jazz's G League team in Salt Lake City, and another trip may be imminent due to Utah's depth at the guard position.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Recalled to parent club
The Jazz recalled Clayton from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Sunday.
Clayton was assigned to the Stars on Saturday and appeared in a G League contest before quickly rejoining the NBA club Sunday. The rookie has played in 12 regular-season games for the Jazz this season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Headed to G League
The Jazz assigned Clayton to the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Saturday.
The rookie first-rounder was a healthy DNP in the three games prior to Friday's 144-112 loss to the Thunder, when he posted two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three assists, one steal and three turnovers over 12 minutes. He hasn't played in the G League this season, but the rookie first-rounder will be available for the City Stars in Saturday's contest against the Stockton Kings.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Swats two shots
Clayton closed Monday's 120-113 loss to the Timberwolves with six points (2-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 18 minutes.
Isaiah Collier made his second appearance of the season and logged 16 minutes, but it seems like the Jazz are open to using multiple point guards, which is also good news for Keyonte George, who continues to break out. Clayton does have solid per-minute upside, but right now his limited workloads are making him more of a deep-league fantasy asset.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Quiet outing in 19 minutes
Clayton logged four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 loss to the Hornets.
Keyonte George continues to break out for the Jazz, and he's currently leaving Clayton in the dust to pick up the scraps. Clayton does have serious upside, but his role could be squeezed shortly with Isaiah Collier (hamstring) expected to return any day now.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Excels in NBA debut
Clayton supplied 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 129-108 victory over the Clippers.
Isaiah Collier continues to be sidelined by a hamstring issue, allowing Clayton to soak up some backup point guard reps to open his NBA career. Clayton was an obvious standout for the Jazz during the preseason and teased some serious upside on Opening Night. Given the draft capital Utah invested in Clayton, he's likely to get plenty of chances to impress with the team in the early stages of a rebuild.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Hands out seven dimes
Clayton produced six points (1-7 FG, 1-4 3pt, 5-5 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and three steals in 29 minutes of Monday's 114-101 preseason win over the Jazz.
Clayton shot the ball poorly Monday, but the rest of his game popped once again. Through three exhibitions, the rookie guard holds averages of 11.7 points, 5.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 27.8 minutes per contest. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) still on the shelf, Clayton may get run on Opening Night.

Jazz's Walter Clayton: Explodes off bench
Clayton produced 20 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes of Friday's 134-130 preseason loss to the Spurs.
Keyonte George has started both preseason games at point guard so far and has fared well, while Isaiah Collier (hamstring) has been sidelined by a hamstring issue. The No. 18 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Clayton has looked sharp in the preseason and appears ready to push both George and Collier for minutes right out of the gate. This is an intriguing position battle to watch.

Clayton (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Wizards, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Clayton won't play for a third consecutive contest due to hamstring soreness. With the Jazz also missing Ace Bailey (hip) on Wednesday, more usage should fall onto the shoulders of Isaiah Collier in the backcourt.
