George made his impact felt in the second half, scoring 18 points while adding eight dimes to help propel the Jazz to their third win in four games. It was his third double-double of the season and his first since Oct. 27 against the Suns. Over his last 10 outings, George has averaged 24.9 points, 7.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 3.0 threes and 1.1 steals over 34.7 minutes per game.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Bounces back in victory
Rotowire
George chipped in 28 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-12 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 133-125 win over the Rockets.
George responded in a big way after failing to score Sunday in the first game of the back-to-back set against the Rockets. He had his shot working the from the field while getting to the charity stripe with ease. The 22-year-old was just as effective as a facilitator, leading the Jazz with eight dimes. Sunday's goose egg appears to be just a small blip on the radar for George, who has put up 27 or more points in four of his last five matchups.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Goose egg in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
George amassed zero points (0-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Sunday's 129-101 loss to the Rockets.
The third-year point guard came into the afternoon contest battling an illness, and George certainly didn't look to be 100 percent healthy in what was by far his worst offensive performance of the season. In fact, it's the first time in 2025-26 he'd failed to score in double digits, and just the second time he failed to drain at least one three-pointer. Utah will be back in action Monday in a rematch with Houston, and George has to be viewed as a risky lineup option until he shows he's fully kicked the bug.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Available Sunday
Rotowire
George (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
George will shed his questionable tag and suit up in the front end of Utah's back-to-back set. Over his last five appearances, the 22-year-old point guard has averaged 28.0 points, 7.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 35.6 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Questionable to play Sunday
Rotowire
George is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to an illness, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
George is having a breakout season in the 2025-26 campaign, and not having him against one of the top teams in the Western Conference would be a huge blow for the Jazz. The guard is averaging 24.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game over his last 10 outings.

The third-year guard led the Jazz in scoring on the night while posting at least 20 points for a fifth straight game. Over that surge, George is averaging 28.4 points, 7.4 assists, 4.0 boards, 3.4 threes and 1.8 steals while shooting an eye-popping 49.0 percent from the floor -- a massive improvement for a player who couldn't break 40 percent in either of his first two seasons in the NBA.

George registered 27 points (10-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 108-106 loss to the Lakers.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Scores team-high 20 points in loss
Rotowire
George chipped in 20 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and eight assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 144-112 loss to the Thunder.
After posting his best scoring total of the season with 34 points against the Lakers on Tuesday evening, George experienced a downturn in performance. Despite the regression, he was able to replicate his eight assists from that game during Friday's loss. George has scored in double digits in every game this season, and his average of 7.1 assists per game ranks him 13th in the league.
George chipped in 34 points (13-23 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 140-126 loss to the Lakers.
George logged a stellar line despite coming up short, leading the Jazz with his best scoring total of the season. His total could have been even higher if he had connected more of his 13 attempts beyond the arc, but George still shattered his previous season-high three treys with five drilled bombs from downtown.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Scores 33 in win over Chicago
Rotowire
George recorded 33 points (10-27 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 10-10 FT), two rebounds, six assists and four steals across 44 minutes during Sunday's 150-147 double-overtime victory over Chicago.
George posted a season-high scoring mark in this double-overtime win, though he didn't carry the team in scoring since Lauri Markkanen posted 47 points. George has scored at least 18 points in all but one of his appearances since the beginning of November, averaging 22.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game in that span.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Paces Utah in loss
Rotowire
George chipped in 27 points (9-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block over 36 minutes during Monday's 120-113 loss to the Timberwolves.
George continued his strong start to the season Monday, though the effort wasn't enough to lift the Jazz to a win. The young guard opened the campaign averaging 21.2 points, 9.2 assists and 3.8 rebounds over his first five games and has maintained impressive production since, posting 24.0 points, 5.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds across his past five contests. While the assist totals have naturally regressed from an unsustainable early pace, George's increased scoring and steady overall play have solidified him as a dependable fantasy option in what's shaping up to be a breakout third season.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Scores 18 points in blowout loss
Rotowire
George registered 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 137-97 loss to the Timberwolves.
George is enjoying an excellent start to the campaign and has scored 15-plus points in each of his nine appearances this season. Even though the two assists were a season-low output for the former Baylor star, George has done a good job both as a scorer and playmaker, and his role as a key cog in Utah's offense is set in stone right now. Through nine appearances, George is averaging 22.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 0.9 steals per game. Those numbers would represent career-best numbers for the guard in the points and assists categories.

George led the Jazz with a team- and season-best 31 points. The 21-year-old point guard also tied the team high in three-pointers made, knocking down multiple triples for the fourth time in seven regular-season outings.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Posts solid scoring night
Rotowire
George produced 25 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 loss to the Hornets.
George wasn't exactly on fire from the field in this one, but he made up for it by getting to the charity stripe to attempt a team-high nine shots. He's now put up 20-plus points in three of his last four matchups. It seemed possible, if not likely, that George would lose his starting spot to Isaiah Collier (hamstring) when the latter got healthy. However, George has gotten off to a great start in 2025-26 and probably will not relinquish the role in the short term.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Flirts with triple-double
Rotowire
George registered 17 points (3-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine assists, eight rebounds, one steal and one block over 33 minutes during the Jazz's 118-96 loss to the Suns on Friday.
George went out Friday and put together a nice all-around game a day after the Jazz picked up his fourth-year option. He led Utah with nine dimes and finished second in both points and rebounds behind Lauri Markkanen (33 points) and Walker Kessler (13 rebounds), respectively, while living at the charity stripe with a game-high 11 free-throw attempts. George has started in each of the first five games of the regular season and is averaging 21.2 points, 9.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 34.2 minutes per game to start the year. However, he could be demoted to a bench role if Isaiah Collier (hamstring) is cleared to play against the Hornets on Sunday.
The Jazz exercised George's fourth-year team option Thursday.
George is now set to remain with the Jazz through the 2026-27 season. Over four outings this year, the combo guard is averaging 22.3 points, 9.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals per contest.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Career-best night at charity stripe
Rotowire
George finished Wednesday's 136-134 loss to the Trail Blazers with 29 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 15-15 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 32 minutes.
The third-year point guard has the best game of his career at the free-throw line, as the 15 attempts and makes were both personal bests. George has topped 25 points in back-to-back contests and has yet to dish fewer than eight assists in a game, averaging 22.3 points, 9.3 dimes, 2.8 boards, 1.5 threes and 1.0 steals on the young season, and there could be even better production on the way -- he's shooting just 22.2 percent (6-for-27) from three-point range, well below last season's 34.3 percent mark.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Thrives in overtime win

George recorded 26 points (8-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Monday's 138-134 overtime victory over Phoenix.
George posted his second straight double-double, helping the Jazz improve to 2-1 on the season. He's been red hot to open his third NBA campaign, posting averages of 20.0 points, 9.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers. He's shooting 18.2 percent from beyond the arc despite being above 33 percent for his career, so he's likely due for some positive regression on that front too.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Records double-double in loss
Rotowire
George chipped in 18 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 34 minutes during Friday's 105-104 loss to the Kings.
The starting job should continue to be a battle with Isaiah Collier (hamstring), but George will have full ownership of the top spot while Collier recovers. The Baylor product started in 35 games last season, performing as an apt fill-in for injuries and matchup-dependent situations, so he's certainly put in the work to earn the role in his third season with the team.
