The Utah Jazz return to the Delta Center for a matchup against the Miami Heat as they attempt to end a losing streak. According to a November 10 report, the Jazz will be without Keyonte George due to a right ankle sprain, while Lauri Markkanen has been upgraded to questionable with a right wrist sprain.
Keyonte George is out for at least one game following a right ankle sprain sustained during the Jazz's previous game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. George has served as the team's starting point guard for the first 10 games of the season, averaging 21.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists while shooting 44.9% from the field.
With George sidelined, the Jazz may utilize Darryn Peterson as the starting point guard or have Isaiah Collier take over lead guard duties while Peterson plays the two-guard position.
The Jazz injury report also includes several other players listed as out, including Kobe Bufkin, Harrison Ingram, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jusuf Nurkic. Jackson Jr. is sidelined with a right knee MCL tear and is expected to remain out until closer to December. Nurkic is rehabbing a right foot injury involving a second plantar plate tear and will be re-evaluated in under two weeks.
Additionally, Trey Alexander is listed as out.
On the Miami Heat side, Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable for the matchup despite dealing with a right wrist sprain.
The Jazz matchup against Miami is scheduled for Tuesday night at 7 p.m. MT in Salt Lake City. The game follows a winless road trip for the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz are currently in the middle of a losing streak that has reached nine games.
