No Teams Interested In Trading For Jordan Clarkson
According to Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake Tribune, Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson isn't drawing trade interest from other teams around the National Basketball Association. The 2021 NBA Sixth Man of the Year was a coveted player by contending clubs over the last few seasons. However, after a decline in statistical contributions during the 2023-24 campaign, teams no longer have him on the radar. Clarkson has two years remaining on his current deal. But with many teams in the NBA strapped for cash, he may end up staying in Utah. Unfortunately, his path for playing time could be compromised with Collin Sexton, Keyonte George, and 2024 No. 29 overall pick Isaiah Collier on the roster.
Jordan Clarkson Expected To Leave Jazz In Offseason
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson has likely played his final game with the team. According to NBA insider Evan Sidery, the Jazz are expected to make Clarkson available on the trade market. The soon-to-be 32-year-old has spent the last four and a half seasons in Salt Lake City. Clarkson has mostly been used as a microwave scorer off the bench and won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award for his efforts in 2020-21. He put up 17.1 points and averaged a career-high 5.0 assists this term. The veteran should be a very attractive piece on the trade market, as Clarkson is tied for two years with a deal that pays him $14 million annually.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (back) will remain out of the lineup on Friday against the Clippers. Clarkson has played just five times since the beginning of last month, leaving Utah without its third-best scorer. Keyonte George has gotten a big boost in fantasy value on Utah's backcourt over the final couple of months of the season, with Talen Horton-Tucker also recently breaking back into the rotation. With Collin Sexton (illness) considered doubtful for Friday, George and Horton-Tucker could be used even more on the offensive end.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (back) is officially out for Thursday's game versus the Houston Rockets. This will be the eighth consecutive game missed by Clarkson thanks to a lingering back injury. Clarkson last played on March 25, but that was his only game played while missing 14 of 15 games. Talen Horton-Tucker has seen the biggest fantasy boost after playing 32 minutes in Utah's last game against the Denver Nuggets. The Jazz missing Clarkson, Collin Sexton, and Kris Dunn gives Tucker a strong usage rate against the Rockets in the backcourt. Keyonte George and Johnny Juzang both have higher ceilings, as well as the starting guards.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (pelvis) is out for Tuesday's meeting with the Nuggets. The 31-year-old has been sidelined for 12 of Utah's previous 13 games. But it would be a miracle to see him back on the floor before the end of the 2023-24 campaign. As usual, Collin Sexton and Keyonte George will remain viable DFS options, with the duo combining for 40 points in Sunday's loss to Golden State. At the same time, Johnny Juzang, who had 27 points in that one, should continue to attract the attention of DFS managers.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (pelvis) won't play on Sunday against Golden State. The 31-year-old has missed 11 of Utah's previous 12 games, and with the Jazz having just four contests remaining, he likely won't be back this season. Laurie Markkanen (shoulder), John Collins (back), and Walker Kessler (nose) are also sidelined, so guys like Collin Sexton, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Keyonte George should see a noticeable bump in fantasy production.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (pelvis) won't play on Tuesday versus the Cavs. The Jazz can't make the postseason, so there's a chance the veteran is done for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign. But with John Collins (back) and Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) also sidelined, Collin Sexton, Keyonte George, Brice Sensabaugh, and Taylor Hendricks all warrant DFS consideration on Tuesday night.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (back) won't play against the Kings on Sunday. He will be out of the lineup for the ninth time in 10 games. Keyonte George and Collin Sexton will continue to carry the backcourt without Clarkson, with a bit of Kris Dunn and Johnny Juzang mixed in between them. This game could produce some ridiculous fantasy lines, as both teams play an up-tempo style and don't focus too much on defense.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (hip) will not play on Friday against the Houston Rockets due to left SI pain. The SI joint can cause pain to radiate to the back, hip, and rear areas. This will be Clarkson's eighth missed game over the last nine contests because of this issue. Clarkson has played well when he has the chance to take the court, but with the team looking to rack up higher picks, Clarkson just hasn't fit the timeline. While he remains sidelined, the youth movement will continue with Keyonte George and Collin Sexton staying in the starting lineup while Kris Dunn returns from suspension and gets a reserve role.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) is available for Monday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. A strained right groin sat Clarkson down for Utah's previous six matchups, but the 31-year-old microwave scorer will play in an advantageous setup against a Dallas team giving up the fourth-most DraftKings points to opposing shooting guards in 2023-24. This contest's implied total is also set at 238.5 points, the largest on Monday's 11-game slate, so a high-scoring affair could be in store. Clarkson was heating up in his last four games before going down, averaging 23.0 points, 4.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 triples, and 1.5 steals amid this stretch from March 4 to March 12. It wouldn't be surprising if the 29-42 Jazz elected to monitor the veteran's minutes, however, during his first game back in the mix.
