Jazz's Oscar Tshiebwe: Rejoins parent club
Rotowire
The Jazz recalled Tshiebwe from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Tuesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
After registering 22 points, 23 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in Sunday's 110-108 G league loss to the Austin Spurs, Tshiebwe will provide the Jazz with frontcourt depth for Tuesday's game against Memphis in the absences of Lauri Markkanen (illness) and John Collins (ankle). Tshiebwe has averaged 5.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 14.8 minutes over eight games with Utah this season.
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.

Rotowire
Harkless (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Memphis, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Harkless hasn't played in a game at the G League or NBA level since March 14 due to the groin strain. The two-way combo guard's next chance to suit up with the Jazz will come Thursday against the Rockets, though he'll likely make his return with the G League's Salt Lake City Stars, as he hasn't played for the Jazz since the All-Star break.

Rotowire
Markkanen (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Markkanen is in line for his fourth straight absence, his second due to illness. KJ Martin, Micah Potter and Brice Sensabaugh should continue to see more looks in Markkanen's stead.

Jazz's KJ Martin: Returns with six-point game
Rotowire
Martin (elbow) recorded six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes in Sunday's 120-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
Martin made his return after missing the Jazz's last four games due to elbow bursitis, but even though Lauri Markkanen (illness) sat out a third straight contest, head coach Will Hardy elected to bring Martin off the bench. Starters Kyle Filipowski (29 minutes) and Walker Kessler (31 minutes) ended up seeing the bulk of the playing time in the frontcourt, resulting in Martin having to settle for a light role. Unless he can capture a consistent 25-plus-minute role, Martin will likely struggle to provide enough value to warrant rostering outside of deeper leagues.

Rotowire
Kessler supplied seven points (3-12 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 0-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 31 minutes during Sunday's 120-91 loss to the Cavaliers.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Tallies double-double in start
Rotowire
Filipowski provided 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 13 rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Sunday's 120-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
Filipowski got the starting nod Sunday and led the way for Utah by tallying a team-high scoring total to go along with a team-high-tying rebound mark en route to a double-double. Filipowski recorded his second-highest rebound total of the season and now has nine double-doubles.
Filipowski will start in Sunday's game against Cleveland.
The rookie second-round pick will supplant Svi Mykhailiuk in the starting five on Sunday. Filipowski has made five starts in March, during which he has averaged 19.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 28.4 minutes per contest.

After missing two games due to a foot injury, Mykhailiuk returned to action Friday and was part of the starting lineup. However, even though Lauri Markkanen (illness) and John Collins (ankle) remain out, Mykhailiuk will shift to a bench role to make room for Kyle Filipowski.

Jazz's KJ Martin: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Martin (elbow) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
