Jazz's Keyonte George: Nails five triples in return
Rotowire
George (heel) registered 26 points (9-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two steals across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 117-112 loss to the Hornets.
George returned to action Wednesday after missing Utah's previous five contests due to left heel inflammation. The 21-year-old guard didn't face any limitations with his playing time in his return and took on a 35.1 percent usage rate while leading Utah in points and assists. However, George continues to struggle with his efficiency, and he's now shooting just 39.5 percent from the field on 13.7 attempts per game for the season.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Cleared to play Wednesday
Rotowire
George (heel) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
George has shaken off a questionable tag and will suit up for the first time since Jan. 4. He's played in only three games since Dec. 19, so major restrictions may be in store. However, the Jazz will be without Collin Sexton (rest), Jordan Clarkson (foot), Lauri Markkanen (back), John Collins (hip) and Johnny Juzang (hand) on Wednesday, so Utah may have no choice but to play George extended minutes in his return.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Upgraded to questionable
Rotowire
George (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
The questionable designation is an upgrade for George, who has been ruled out in five games in a row due to left heel inflammation. With Lauri Markkanen (back) and backcourt mate Collin Sexton (rest) not playing Wednesday, George could be immediately thrust into a role as Utah's top scoring option. If George sits out, however, Isaiah Collier should serve as the Jazz's primary ball handler against Charlotte.

George will be sidelined for a third straight outing due to heel inflammation, and Saturday's matchup with the Suns marks his next opportunity to take the floor for the Jazz.

Over seven games with George out of action in 2024-25, Sexton is averaging 21.1 points, 5.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.4 threes in 30.5 minutes.
