Jazz's Talen Horton-Tucker: Hits for team-high 24
Talen Horton-Tucker finished with 24 points (10-23 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 111-95 loss to Denver.The 23-year-old guard led the Utah Jazz in scoring on the night as he saw big minutes in the absence of Collin Sexton (illness), Jordan Clarkson (back) and Kris Dunn (foot). Horton-Tucker has scored 12 or more points in each of his last three games, draining multiple three-pointers in each, and he figured to hang onto a significant role in the backcourt over the final few games of the regular season.

Jazz's Talen Horton-Tucker: Leads from bench with 17 points
Talen Horton-Tucker closed with 17 points (5-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 131-102 loss to the Clippers.The Utah Jazz's starting five were almost completely ineffective in the blowout loss, and the huge deficit allowed Utah's bench to empty. Horton-Tucker didn't enter the game until the very end of the first quarter but put in a full 12 minutes in the second and fourth quarters during the blowout. The 23-year-old was expected to have a bigger impact in his second year with the Jazz, but injuries have plagued his 2023-24 campaign, and his lengthy absences allowed other players to leapfrog him on the depth chart. After exercising his $11M option to remain with the team this year, his future with Utah is a bit cloudy, as the Jazz need to pay other valuable players on the roster.

Jazz's Talen Horton-Tucker: Falling out of favor
Talen Horton-Tucker has logged two consecutive DNP-CDs while making just one appearance across Utah's last six contests.Before this stretch of near-complete removal from the rotation, Horton-Tucker had logged back-to-back starts with 30 minutes. Keyonte George, Kris Dunn and Simone Fontecchio have been on the rise of late, but Horton-Tucker leads all Utah players with a plus-9.1 net rating per 100 possessions this season -- excluding garbage time. Although that metric can be dictated by who Horton-Tucker shares the floor with, it's unclear why he's been entirely scrapped from Utah's lineups at this time.

Jazz's Talen Horton-Tucker: Barely cracks rotation Thursday
Talen Horton-Tucker (foot) recorded two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in six minutes off the bench in Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Pelicans.After missing two straight games with left foot soreness, Horton-Tucker was cleared to play Tuesday, but he didn't see any run in the Utah Jazz's 130-118 win over the Spurs. Horton-Tucker checked back into the rotation three days later, albeit in a small role while both Kris Dunn (19 minutes) and Keyonte George (22 minutes) saw most of the run at point guard. While he could eventually carve out a larger role, Horton-Tucker's playing time will likely be suppressed in the short term while Utah is at full strength in the backcourt.

Jazz's Talen Horton-Tucker: Available to play Tuesday
Talen Horton-Tucker (foot) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.Horton-Tucker missed the past two games for Utah and was carrying a questionable tag before this update.

Horton-Tucker has fared well in December, posting averages of 16.3 points, 4.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.
