Clarkson is out for Thursday's game versus the Clippers due to left foot Plantar Fasciitis injury management.
Clarkson will sit out the second leg of Utah's back-to-back Thursday due to left foot Plantar Fasciitis. 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.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Teases triple-double in win
Rotowire
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.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Ruled out Friday
Rotowire
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 returns.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Season-high 31 points in win
Rotowire
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 Utah's first unit sticks going forward, potentially bolstering his fantasy value while Sexton is sidelined.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Pops for 21 in Monday's loss
Rotowire
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. 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.

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

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Sitting out Tuesday
Rotowire
Clarkson is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to left foot plantar fasciitis injury management, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
After returning from a 10-game absence in Monday's loss to the Bucks while playing 22 minutes, Clarkson will receive a breather for the second leg of Utah's back-to-back set.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Drills four triples in return
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
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.

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 contest.

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

Rotowire
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.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Returns to action with 17 points
Rotowire
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 place of Keyonte George (ankle), who remains out with an ankle injury. Clarkson's skill and vast experience make 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 the veteran will eventually revert to his sixth-man role with the team.
