Injury Report
Players with injury designations
UTA
- QUESTIONABLEElijah Harkless (G)- Harkless played a season-high 21 minutes, sliding into the rotation for just the third time this season. While he did provide some nice energy on the defensive end, there is no indication that Harkless will be moving into a more permanent role anytime soon.
- OUTGeorges Niang (F)- Niang has yet to make his season debut as he recovers from a fourth metatarsal stress reaction in his left foot and remains without a timetable for a return. The veteran forward should be considered week-to-week until the Jazz offer an update on his progress.
- OUTWalker Kessler (C)- This is a devastating blow for the Jazz and for Kessler's fantasy managers given his high price in drafts.
- QUESTIONABLEAirious Bailey (F)- Bailey has missed seven of Utah's last eight games due to a left hip flexor strain, though he'll have a shot at returning Monday. The rookie first-rounder will likely face a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play, though his presence would leave fewer minutes available for Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk.
CLE
- OUTMax Strus (G)- Strus hasn't yet made his season debut, and he needs even more time on the shelf to recover from offseason left foot surgery. It's unlikely the swingman will be ready to play until sometime in February at this point. In the meantime, Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson should continue helping fill out the minutes on the wing.
- OUTDean Wade (F)- This will be the third consecutive game on the sidelines for Wade, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia. Jaylon Tyson, De'Andre Hunter and Nae'Qwan Tomlin will continue to pick up the slack in Wade's absence.
- QUESTIONABLEChris Livingston (F)- After being waived by the Bucks during training camp, Livingston has latched on with another team. The 2023 second-rounder will likely see most of his playing time come with the G League's Cleveland Charge, though Livingston is also a depth option in the Cavaliers' frontcourt while Jarrett Allen's (finger) status remains in limbo.
