Eubanks (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks had initially been listed as questionable with the illness, but his condition evidently didn't improve enough leading up to the 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff for the Jazz to clear him to play. The veteran center hasn't been part of Utah's rotation this season, as John Collins has been serving as the primary backup to starter Walker Kessler.

Eubanks and the Jazz agreed to a two-year, $10 million deal Monday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
EDGE Analysis
With this move, the Jazz have secured more frontcourt depth alongside Walker Kessler, John Collins and Kyle Filipowski. However, it's hard to imagine Eubanks carving out enough minutes to be relevant in most fantasy leagues. With the Suns last season, Eubanks averaged 5.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 15.6 minutes during the regular season.

Eubanks announced Friday he is declining his $2.6 million player option from the Suns for 2024-25 and will become an unrestricted free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks will hit free agency after averaging 5.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 15.6 minutes across 75 appearances, including six starts, for Phoenix in 2023-24. Eubanks will likely continue to operate as a backup center for a different team if he finds a new destination in free agency.

Eubanks is questionable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to right ankle soreness, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks has started here and there, but for the most part, he's been playing off the bench since Jusuf Nurkic is entrenched as Phoenix's starting center. Eubanks does offer decent depth behind him, and if he's out Sunday, then Thaddeus Young and Bol Bol would be in line for expanded roles off the bench.

Eubanks will start Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Eubanks chipped in five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) was out with an ankle injury, forcing Eubanks into the first unit. The team is thin at the position but got some interior support from Thaddeus Young after Eubanks had a frigid start. Nurkic may be back in time for Friday's game against the Thunder, which would move Eubanks back to the bench.
