Sensabaugh played the final 3:25 of Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks, recording six points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and one rebound.
The returns of Jordan Clarkson (heel) from a two-game absence and Lauri Markkanen (back) from a three-game absence left no room in the rotation for Sensabaugh, who didn't check into the game until the Jazz were trailing by 24 points late in the fourth quarter. Sensabaugh had played double-digit minutes in each of the Jazz's first seven games, but he ended up losing his spot on the second unit to Johnny Juzang, who will likely remain ahead of Sensabaugh in the pecking order for the time being after drilling three three-pointers in his 16 minutes Thursday.
Sensabaugh racked up 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.
Sensabaugh posted the 10th double-digit scoring effort of his young career Tuesday, and he might be tasked with a slight uptick in usage after Taylor Hendricks suffered a season-ending leg injury. Sensabaugh has averaged 14.8 minutes while appearing in all four of Utah's contests to thus far.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Team option picked up
Rotowire
The Jazz exercised the third-year rookie scale option on Sensabaugh's contract Monday.
Sensabaugh is now under contract through the 2025-26 season. He made 32 regular-season appearances as a rookie, including 11 starts. As a starter, Sensabaugh averaged 10.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 26.3 minutes per game. However, most of those came when Utah had already thrown in the towel and were resting players. Sensabaugh is expected to handle a minor reserve role to start the 2024-25 campaign.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Sensabaugh (finger) has been cleared to participate in training camp this week, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sensabaugh tore an extensor tendon in his left middle finger during Summer League and was given a six-week timetable, so he likely had plenty of time to work on his game during the offseason. He made 32 regular-season appearances as a rookie, posting averages of 7.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 18.3 minutes.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Out at least six weeks
Rotowire
Sensabaugh will miss at least six weeks after tearing an extensor tendon in his left middle finger Saturday during the Summer League, Ryan Miller of KSL.com reports.
Sensabaugh had three points, two assists and two rebounds for the Jazz before leaving Saturday's game for good. Despite this setback, Sensabaugh is likely to be 100 percent recovered in time for training camp. Heading into his second season, Sensabaugh could be a rotation player for the Jazz right out of the gate.
Sensabaugh provided 22 points (6-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 127-106 loss to Sacramento.
With the season coming to a close, the Jazz will dive deep into their roster to see what they have, and Sensabaugh has benefited. The 2023 first-round pick has played with the first unit several times over the past couple of weeks thanks to Lauri Markkanen's (shoulder) absence, and the former seems to have a secure future in Utah's plans. Markkanen appears to be shut down for the season, so we will likely see some respectable stat lines from Sensabaugh as the season winds down.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Returning to bench Monday
Rotowire
Sensabaugh will come off the bench for Monday's game against Minnesota, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sensabaugh's run as a starter across Utah's last five contests yielded 11.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists while posting 48.9 percent shooting on 9.0 shots in 28.0 minutes per game. Lauri Markkanen's (quad) return following a six-game absence will likely resort Sensabaugh to a 15-to-20 minute role.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Thrives in first career start
Rotowire
Sensabaugh had 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-117 loss to the Bulls.
Sensabaugh made the first start of his career due to the absence of Taylor Hendricks (toe), and even though one game is not enough to draw any conclusions, there's no question he looked impressive on both ends of the court. Sensabaugh posted season-high marks in both points and rebounds, and he might remain in the first unit if Hendricks is unable to recover ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Nuggets.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Sensabaugh (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Sensabaugh missed Thursday's 129-115 loss to the Suns with the same injury and could be at risk of being sidelined again Monday. Prior to sustaining the hip issue, Sensabaugh hadn't been included in Utah's rotation, but he may have a clearer path to playing time in the second half of the season after the Jazz shipped out two rotation players (Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji) at the trade deadline and didn't take any back in return.

Rotowire
Coach Will Hardy said Friday that Sensabaugh (knee) is healthy and ready for training camp, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

While he was unable to participate in Summer League action, he's healthy for the start of training camp this year.
