Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (finger) will miss the rest of Summer League. The 20-year-old was injured during Saturday's meeting with the Dallas Mavericks, with an MRI revealing a torn tendon in his left middle finger. He showed flashes of promise in 2023-24, averaging 10.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 11 starts. With that said, Sensabaugh will be re-evaluated in six weeks, so there's a chance he could return before training camp.
Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (finger) was unable to return during Saturday's exhibition game against the Dallas Mavericks. He suffered an apparent finger injury during the first half of the game. Possibly a dislocation, but the Jazz don't believe it'll be a long term issue. He finished the game with three points, two rebounds, and two assists in 12 minutes. Taevion Kinsey started during the second half on Saturday in place of Sensabaugh. He could see more playing time if Sensabaugh misses time going forward.
Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh will remain in the starting five ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The expectation was that Sensabaugh would head to the second unit with Taylor Hendricks (toe) returning on Friday. That won't be the case as both players will remain in the starting five on Friday. Instead, Luka Samanic will head to the bench during Friday's game. The fact that both Hendricks and Sensabaugh are starting should boost their fantasy value for this game.
Taylor Hendricks Out One Week, Brice Sensabaugh Starts Wednesday
The Utah Jazz announced on Tuesday that forward Taylor Hendricks (toe) will be out at least one week after an MRI confirmed a ligament sprain in his left big toe. Hendricks sustained the injury during the second quarter of Monday's win over the Washington Wizards. Brice Sensabaugh started at small forward for the depleted Jazz in Wednesday's narrow defeat to the Chicago Bulls, tallying an efficient double-double with 15 points on 5-for-8 shooting, 12 rebounds, and two three-pointers in 30 minutes. Although the rookie first-rounder is worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues amid Hendricks' absence, Sensabaugh next squares off on Saturday with a Denver Nuggets group that's allowing the fewest FanDuel points to opposing small forwards this year.
Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (knee) is progressing well after undergoing surgery on his left knee this past March. The 19-year-old could be ready for training camp if all continues to go well in his recovery. But even if Sensabaugh is fully healthy by the fall, he enters 2023-24 without a clear pathway to minutes in Utah's rotation. The 2023 first-round pick isn't as attractive a choice as fellow rookie teammates Taylor Hendricks and Keyonte George in dynasty leagues, let alone redraft formats this season.
Utah Jazz forwards Taylor Hendricks (hamstring) and Brice Sensabaugh (knee) are both listed as out for Monday's Summer League matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both players are dealing with lingering injuries and the team continues to bring them along slowly. Sensabaugh is recovering from left knee surgery, so it's uncertain if he's going to play in the Summer League at all. Hendricks suffered a hamstring strain during practice in late June. It's unclear if the Jazz plan on having Hendricks play during the Summer League or let him sit and heal.
Brice Sensabaugh, Taylor Hendricks Remains Out Thursday
Utah Jazz forwards Brice Sensabaugh (knee) and Taylor Hendricks (hamstring) remain out for Thursday's Summer League matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Both players have yet to make their Summer League debuts due to lingering injuries. Sensabaugh underwent offseason knee surgery, so it's unclear if he'll suit up during the Summer League at all. The next chance for Hendricks to play will be versus the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.
