Diaw (leg) put up six points (3-4 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes in Monday's 102-96 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

After Diaw missed the previous eight games with a leg contusion, the Jazz may have been more inclined to ease the Frenchman back in, but he ended up clearing 20 minutes after Derrick Favors was forced to leave the contest early with recurring left knee soreness. It's uncertain if Favors will be available for the Jazz's next game Thursday against the Bulls, but Diaw would certainly benefit if Favors is deemed unavailable. However, it may be difficult for Diaw to surpass 30 minutes even if he gets the start in place of Favors, as fellow reserve big man Trey Lyles is a good bet to absorb some of Favors' playing time after amassing a season-high 18 points Monday.
