Josh Howard returned to action for the first time since March 17 (knee surgery) and had four points on 2-of-6 shooting in six minutes on Tuesday. Howard will get some more run on Thursday in preparation for the playoffs, but we're not expecting him to do much.

Josh Howard said prior to Tuesday's game that he expects to be active against the Suns. Raja Bell could also be active, but is still in street clothes and hasn't warmed up. This could be Howard's first appearance since March 17 and he's coming off knee surgery, so we're not expecting much from him tonight.

Updating a previous item, Josh Howard (knee) and Raja Bell (knee) will both be game-time decisions against the Suns on Tuesday. Both veterans were considered "likely" to play, but even if each is active, it would be a major surprise to see a major role for either. They're not on the fantasy radar.

Josh Howard (knee) and Raja Bell (knee) went through a full practice on Monday and will "likely" be active on Tuesday against the Suns. Neither veteran is expected to play much, but each has been getting healthier and will provide Utah with more depth on the wing as the Jazz gear up for a potential playoff push.

Josh Howard (knee) will participate in a "skeleton" practice on Friday. Howard will not have contact but will participate, and this is considered another important part of his return. He remains hopeful to return to action on Tuesday, but is not a fantasy asset.

Josh Howard (knee) and Raja Bell (knee) are both "moving closer" to returning. Howard was taking jumpers on Wednesday, while Bell is no longer dealing with pain in his knee. While Howard is aiming for a return on April 24, Bell is looking to return for the postseason. Neither are fantasy assets.

Josh Howard (knee) is still on target for an April 24 return. This news won't impact many, if any fantasy leagues, but should the Jazz make it to the playoffs it will certainly be important to them.

Josh Howard (knee) is continuing rehab and is hoping to return during the week of April 16. Howard said he doesn't want to end the season in a suit, but the Jazz won't rush him back before he's 100 percent healthy considering his injury history. Even if he does make it back before the campaign concludes, he's not going to make an impact for fantasy owners.

Josh Howard, who has been out since Mar. 21 after undergoing surgery on his left knee, will travel with the team when they start a three-game road trip on Wednesday. Howard has said all along that he hopes to return during the regular season, and this is a step in the right direction. Still, the chances of him returning and providing significant value this season are low, and he shouldn't be owned in fantasy leagues.

Josh Howard (knee) will ride the stationary bike and lift weights on Tuesday as he continues to recover from knee surgery. This is part of the rehab process for Howard, who has previously done work on the stationary bike. He previously stated that a worst-case scenario would have him back for the playoffs, but players are often more optimistic than others when discussing their timetable to return. Howard remains out and the chances of him providing fantasy value in standard-sized leagues again this season are slim.
