Juzang (back) is questionable to play Friday against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Juzang missed Wednesday's loss to the Spurs and is now in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. However, even if he's available, he's not expected to impact the rotation significantly.

Juzang will not play in Wednesday's game versus the Spurs due to back spasms.
EDGE Analysis
Juzang is a late addition to Utah's injury report. In his absence, Brice Sensabaugh and Talen Horton-Tucker could be in line for a few more depth minutes on the wing.

Juzang will start at small forward in Saturday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Juzang will get the spot start due to Lauri Markkanen (rest) being sidelined. It marks the 23-year-old's first start of the season, so he could be in line for a healthier workload than usual.

Juzang recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and three rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-122 victory over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year wing shattered his prior career NBA scoring high of 11 with an impressive effort from long distance -- Juzang was just 2-for-14 on three-point attempts this season coming into the game. The absence of Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) has created an opening in the Jazz rotation that Juzang has done his best to fill -- in three of the five games Markkanen has missed so far, Juzang has played at least 20 minutes.

Juzang (quadriceps) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
EDGE Analysis
Juzang is available for Wednesday's season opener after missing the entire preseason with a quadriceps injury. As a two-way player, Juzang will split time between the NBA and G League this season.

Juzang (quadriceps) didn't play in Thursday's 116-113 preseason loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Juzang continues to deal with a quadriceps injury he suffered during Summer League action. Given he didn't play at all during the preseason, his status for the regular season seems murky, at best. Even when he's healthy, the second-year wing will presumably spend most of the 2023-24 campaign in the G League.

Juzang didn't play in Saturday's 138-133 preseason victory over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Juzang hasn't played in a game since suffering a quadriceps injury during Summer League, but it's unclear if his preseason absence can be attributed to that injury. His next opportunity to play is Thursday versus Sacramento.

Juzang didn't play in Tuesday's 103-98 preseason loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
After dealing with a quadriceps injury in Summer League play, Juzang hasn't been on Utah's preseason injury reports but hasn't taken the court during the team's first two exhibition games. His next opportunity to play will be Saturday against the Trail Blazers.

Juzang didn't play in Sunday's 101-96 preseason win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Juzang dealt with a left quadriceps injury late in Summer League action, but he wasn't on Utah's injury report ahead of Sunday's preseason opener. While he appears to have moved past the issue, he isn't expected to start the 2023-24 campaign in the NBA after rejoining the team on a two-way deal during the offseason.

Juzang (quadriceps) signed a two-way contract with the Jazz on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Juzang missed Utah's final Summer League game due to a left quadriceps contusion, and it's unclear how long the issue will impact him. Despite his recent absence, he had an encouraging Summer League performance, averaging 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 23.4 minutes per game over two appearances. He spent the 2022-23 campaign on a two-way deal with the Jazz and will attempt to build upon his results during the 2023-24 season.
