Clarkson (foot) recorded 13 points (4-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists and three rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench Monday in the Jazz's 125-110 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Utah's last 10 games due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot, Clarkson was cleared to play Monday and filled his familiar sixth-man role. The 32-year-old was sharp from downtown, but an 0-for-4 showing from two-point range took a bigger scoring night off the table. Monday's contest represented the front end of a back-to-back set for the Jazz, so Clarkson could be a candidate to sit for maintenance purposes Tuesday versus the Warriors.

Clarkson (foot) will be available for Monday's game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
After 10 consecutive games on the shelf, Clarkson will shed his questionable tag and will be back in the rotation Monday. He could have restrictions, however, and the Jazz could hold him out Tuesday against the Warriors for injury management based on how they've operated as a franchise this season.

Clarkson (foot) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clarkson was diagnosed with a torn plantar fascia in his left foot Jan. 6, which has prevented him from playing in Utah's last 10 games. He appears to be progressing well enough in his recovery to be given the questionable tag for Monday's contest. Clarkson has played in 22 games (three starts) and is averaging 16.0 points, 3.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds over 25.5 minutes per contest.

Clarkson underwent an MRI on his left foot Monday which confirmed a torn plantar fascia, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clarkson played just three minutes against the Heat on Saturday before leaving due to a left foot injury, and the MRI on Monday confirmed the severity of the injury. Johnny Juzang, Isaiah Collier, Patty Mills and Brice Sensabaugh all have an opportunity to establish a larger role for themselves over the next two weeks while Clarkson is sidelined.

Clarkson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clarkson lasted only a few minutes during Saturday's game against Miami before being ruled out due to left plantar fasciitis. It's not a surprise to see the veteran guard ruled out for the second half of Utah's back-to-back set, but it's unclear how long Clarkson will be sidelined. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Hawks. In his absence, Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang are candidates for increased roles, especially if Keyonte George (heel) is also ruled out.

Clarkson won't return to Saturday's game against Miami due to left plantar fasciitis, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports. He finished with two points and one assist in three minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Clarkson logged just a few minutes before leaving the game for good. Saturday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and this news doesn't bode well for Clarkson's status Sunday against Orlando. Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier could see an uptick in minutes in the meantime.

Clarkson racked up 24 points (7-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 132-121 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Clarkson returned to the bench after starting in the loss to the 76ers on Saturday, and he delivered another 20-point performance. Since returning from a seven-game absence due to plantar fasciitis, Clarkson has been nothing short of excellent. He's reached the 20-point mark in four of his last seven contests, averaging 18.6 points, 4.6 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game despite coming off the bench in all but one of those contests.

EDGE Analysis
Clarkson started in Saturday's 114-111 loss to the 76ers and finished with 17 points, four assists, three rebounds and one block over 30 minutes. He will return to the bench for Monday's contest while Johnny Juzang enters the Jazz's starting five.

Clarkson finished with 17 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 30 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Clarkson found his way off the injury report and logged a start in place of Keyonte George (ankle), who remains out with an ankle injury. Clarkson's skill and vast experience make him an obvious start over Isaiah Collier, who is a talented rookie but is still developing. Clarkson will log quality minutes as George works himself back to action, and the veteran will eventually revert to his sixth-man role with the team.
