Keyonte George will rest in the Jazz's game against the Clippers tomorrow, Jazz say. Jusuf Nurkic is doubtful due to illness. Lauri Markkanen is questionable (though I expect he plays). Kevin Love is listed as probable due to his knee contusion.

Lauri Markkanen practiced today and is expected to return in tomorrow's game against LAC.

Heat beat the Jazz 147-116.


Jazz got killed on the offensive glass, 26-7. So many wide open 3s for the Heat where the Jazz didn't even close out. Obviously, Jazz don't want to win... but you want it to look better than this — like it has the last week.


Clippers next, Tues.

Jusuf Nurkic gets the 10th rebound for the triple-double! ... and immediately Kyle Filipowski comes off the bench to replace him

I'm just not really sure what to say about the Jazz's defense anymore. I get you don't have Walker Kessler and you're playing a bunch of young players. But the path to being competitive next year starts now and it's just so far away

Jusuf Nurkic two rebounds away from a third-consecutive triple-double

Heat leading Jazz 73-52 at halftime. Decent chance Nurkic gets a third straight triple-double, so that's good. But yeah everything else hasn't been great (and even Nurk has struggled at times).

The Miami Heat have 17 offensive rebounds with 7:20 left to go in the 2Q.

Will Hardy on the @UtahJazzEspanol chants: "I'm glad they get to be here and see and feel our fan base and feel what it's like to be in the Delta Center. ...
Let's maybe — everybody else, get on Twitter. Let's get the chants out there. Maybe we could do a little more."

Will Hardy on Jusuf Nurkic: "(We call his number) a little bit more and a little bit more and a little bit more. And then there's a night where you're like, 'Screw it. Let's just make that the thing.' Well, we talk more scientifically than that."

From @statmuse

Jazz lose 126-109. Spurs went on a 17-5 run and turned a close game into a not close game.


Wemby: 26/13.
Nurkic: 17/11/14. Tied for the most assists in a Jazz regular season game since Trey Burke in 2014.
Ace Bailey: 25 points, 11-16 FG.

Not sure why Sensabaugh is in this game...
well... I might have an idea on second thought...

Jusuf Nurkic: back to back triple doubles. Just the third regular season Jazz triple double since 2008.

Jusuf Nurkic is like 100% of the Jazz's offense. He has 14 assists! Still 10:28 left! I'm excited to check his pass count/time-of-possession numbers when the NBA posts them late tonight/tomorrow

Kevin Love just picked up a technical foul... still barking at this ref crew. Nurkic ended up successfully separating them but it looked like he might get ejected for a second.

12/7/3 for Cody Williams so far tonight... already might be the best statline of his career?

Enjoyable battle of styles here between Nurkic and Wembanyama

Spurs up 65-53 at the half on Utah... Wemby being a +18 explains a lot of it. Keyonte George and De'Aaron Fox both have 14 points.

Absolutely killer 75-foot outlet pass from Kevin Love with 3 seconds left in the quarter to get a free basket for Ace Bailey there. One of the best outlet passers of all time still has it.

The @UtahJazzEspnaol fans are bringing the energy with chants throughout the game, impressive stuff! (just a bummer the Delta Center speakers are drowning out their own fans!)

Will Hardy on who got the game ball: "They gave a ball to me. I don't know if it was a game ball. It's probably off the rack. ... Honestly, I think Key and Nurk should cut a ball in half and each one take half of it home. Those two guys were amazing tonight."

Jazz beat Wolves 127-122. Terrific game from Utah.


Keyonte George: career high 43 points, oudueled Anthony Edwards' 38.
Jusuf Nurkic: 16p/18r/10a.
Ace Bailey: a key 20 points, 8-17 FG.
Isaiah Collier: 18p/10a.


Jazz improve to 15-29 on the season. Home v. Spurs on Thusday.

If this holds up, maybe the best win of the season for the Jazz. First win without Lauri Markkanen, good Wolves team, on the second end of a back to back, with good to great performances up and down the roster.

Two key misses from Rudy Gobert from the FT line... he's become the worst free-throw shooter in the league statistically this year at 50%.

Keyonte George up to 40 points, still 5 minutes remaining.

Nurkic gets it! It's just the second Jazz regular season triple double since Carlos Boozer in 2008 against the Seattle Supersonics.

Nurkic is so close to a triple double (only the second Jazz regular season triple double in forever...) he has 10/13/9. But he also has five fouls, and they're currently reviewing to see if he should get his 6th.

Think that's the right call from the refs. Nurk made the first illegal contact that they called, and the late elbow from Gobert then becomes a tech. Well done.

We have a game! 21-8 run from Utah during the bench minutes. Jazz are forcing turnovers and getting out in transition, and that's where the youth can really, really shine. Wolves up 102-100, 8:49 left.
