Potter will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
The 26-year-old received the spot start for Lauri Markkanen (back) in Sunday's win over Orlando, though Potter will retreat to the bench Tuesday with Markkanen returning to game action. Potter has received inconsistent playing time throughout the season, and he has appeared in three of the Jazz's last five outings (one start), during which he has averaged 1.0 points and 1.3 assists across 14.3 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Micah Potter: Drops 11 points in spot start
Rotowire
Potter logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 124-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Potter received his second start of the season, filling in for John Collins who was ruled out due to a hip issue. He ended his night scoring a season-high 11 points, serving up an admirable performance. If Collins misses additional time as a result of his injury, look for Potter to maintain a meaningful role, be it off the bench or as a starter.

Rotowire
Potter (illness) is off the injury report for Friday's matchup against the Trail Blazers.
Potter missed Tuesday's blowout loss to the Thunder due to the illness, though he'll return to action after the one-game absence. The two-way center appeared in three consecutive outings before Tuesday, during which he averaged 5.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.3 steals across 20.0 minutes per game.

Jazz's Micah Potter: Ruled out Tuesday
Rotowire
Potter (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
The 26-year-old big man will be held out of Tuesday's game due to an illness, meaning the club could take an extended look at Svi Mykhailiuk, Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks. Potter has seen significant run in his last three outings with Kyle Filipowski (lower leg) sidelined, during which he averaged 5.0 points and 7.0 rebounds across 20.0 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Potter is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to an illness.
Potter is typically an emergency depth option for the Jazz, but he's logged at least 13 minutes in each of the last three games with Utah having been down a few key big men. If Potter is unable to go Tuesday, the Jazz could open up a spot in the rotation for Svi Mykhailiuk.

Rotowire
Potter is not in the Jazz's starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

While Markkanen and Collins are available for Saturday's game, Potter could see some playing time off the bench due to Filipowski still being sidelined.

Jazz's Micah Potter: Grabs 16 rebounds as fill-in
Rotowire
Potter finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 16 rebounds, three assists and one block across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 loss to the Nuggets.
The two-way prospect made it out of the G League due to Utah's numerous frontcourt absences, and he was a direct fill-in for John Collins (knee) in the loss. Potter generated a nice rebound total despite Nikola Jokic's imposing presence, and the former will probably stick with the NBA club for a few games while Utah tries to get healthy.

Jazz's Micah Potter: Inks contract with Utah
Rotowire
The Jazz signed Potter to a two-way deal Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Potter will return to Utah for a third consecutive season on a two-way pact. The 26-year-old averaged a career-high 11.6 minutes in a career-high 16 regular-season appearances last season, during which he averaged 3.3 points and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 42.9 percent from beyond the arc. Potter will likely spend most of his time with Utah's G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars, as he is buried behind a fairly deep frontcourt consisting of Walker Kessler, John Collins, Drew Eubanks, Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Filipowski.

Jazz's Micah Potter: Logs eight points Sunday
Rotowire
Potter finished Sunday's 127-106 loss to the Kings with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 20 minutes.
The two-way player saw double-digit minutes off the bench for the second game in a row, and he looks as though he could be a regular in the rotation for the rest of the season with the Jazz having shut down Lauri Markkanen (shoulder). Potter submitted big numbers in the G League this season and is now averaging 2.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.6 three-pointers in 10.6 minutes per game through 12 appearances for Utah.

Rotowire
Potter racked up 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 win over the Nuggets.
Potter had easily the best game of his career, notching his first double-double in a career-high 21 minutes. The Jazz will play the Lakers in the final game of the season Sunday, and based on what we saw here, Potter could once again be in for an uptick in playing time. With that said, all 30 teams will be in action, meaning there will be an abundance of streaming value to be found.

Jazz's Micah Potter: Produces double-double in G League
Rotowire
Potter (elbow) played 36 minutes and scored 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go with 14 rebounds, six assists and one steal Saturday in the G League Salt Lake City Stars' 119-112 win over the Santa Cruz Warriors.
One of Utah's two two-way players, Potter made his first appearance for either the G League or NBA squad since Jan. 21 after a month-long recovery from surgery to address loose bodies in his right elbow. As his huge minutes total suggests, Potter didn't seem to be limited from a conditioning standpoint. The second-year center is expected to see most of his opportunities in the G League moving forward now that he's healthy again.

Jazz's Micah Potter: Requires elbow surgery
Rotowire
Potter will undergo surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow and will be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Potter has spent the last few weeks in the G League but will miss significant time after sustaining a right elbow injury. It's possible he's able to return prior to the end of the G League season, but a better idea of his status should come into focus once he's re-evaluated. He averaged 14.3 points and 11.3 rebounds in 31.5 minutes per game for the Stars during the regular season prior to suffering the injury.
