Jazz's Keyonte George: Another inefficient outing
Rotowire
George logged eight points (3-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Sunday's 131-101 loss to the Thunder.
Save for George's scoreless outing at the end of November, when he was battling an illness, this was the third-year guard's only single-digit scoring outing this season. He's still in the midst of a breakout campaign, but the dynamic guard is shooting only 37.5 percent from the field over his past five appearances.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
