Reed scored 14 points (7-9 FG) and grabbed seven rebounds in a loss to Stockton on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
After missing nine games while nursing an injured groin, Reed put up a solid effort in only 16 minutes in the blowout loss. Should the big man be given increased playing time, he could be a valuable contributor; in 21 games last season, he averaged 20.1 points, 11.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per contest.

EDGE Analysis
Reed logged 21 games with the Stars last season, averaging 20.1 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.6 assists per contest. After a brief stay overseas to open 2019-20, the big man will return to the US and should play a sizable role for Salt Lake again.

Reed agreed to terms on a deal with Olympiacos, Sportando.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reed, who averaged 20.1 points, 11.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals for the Salt Lake City Start last year, agreed to terms with one of Europe's premier team to join them for the remainder of the 2019-20 EuroLeague season. While the deal indicates that Reed isn't likely to appear in the NBA this season, there's a chance he returns to the league in the future if he's able to maintain his productivity.

Reed provided 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes during the Jazz's 87-78 loss to the Rockets in a Las Vegas Summer League game Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Reed combined with starter Tony Bradley to form a dominant 1-2 punch at center for the Jazz on the night. The fourth-year pro has had his moments at the NBA level over his three prior professional seasons, although he spent all his time in the G League last season before suffering an injury. Reed has enjoyed a solid summer, averaging 10.3 points and 6.0 rebounds over 18.0 minutes across three games in Las Vegas, which were preceded by tallies of 13.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks over two contests in the Salt Lake City league.

Reed recorded 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-10 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal across 25 minutes in Sunday's 93-81 loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
The 6-11 journeyman is returning to action after sustaining a season-ending shoulder injury in the G-League. HIs prospects beyond a G-League berth are dim, but he could serve the team if Rudy Gobert misses any time - he aptly filled in for an injured Hassan Whiteside during his tenure with the Heat two years ago.

Reed was waived from Salt Lake City due to a season-ending shoulder injury.
EDGE Analysis
It's a bit of a surprise to see Salt Lake waive the former No. 1 overall pick in the most recent G League draft, but the team evidently did not feel comfortable using a roster spot on the injured center the rest of the way. Kyle Benjamin will take over his role on the roster for the duration of the 2018-19 season.

Reed sustained a season-ending shoulder injury Wednesday and won't play against in 2018-19.
EDGE Analysis
Reed won't play against this season after injuring his shoulder Wednesday. It's unclear what exactly happened, but it's likely that Reed will need surgery. He was averaging 20.0 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game for the Stars at the time of his injury.

EDGE Analysis
Reed missed a handful of games near the holidays with a back injury, but was able to return to the court Thursday and tally his usual double-double. The center is averaging 20.0 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 20 games this season.

Reed (back) did not play in Friday's win over Austin.
EDGE Analysis
The injury, which is listed as lower back tightness, doesn't appear to be overly serious. Tony Bradley got the start at center, but didn't do much with the influx of minutes, scoring eight points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT) while tallying nine rebounds. Reed will aim to take the court Tuesday against Agua Caliente.
