Jazz's Keyonte George: Ruled out for Monday
Rotowire
George (ankle) won't play Monday versus Miami.
George sprained his right ankle during Saturday's loss to Orlando and will now miss Monday's game in Miami, which will open up more minutes for Isaiah Collier and Vince Williams.

George won't return to Saturday's game against the Magic due to a right ankle sprain. He'll finish with five points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Leaves early with ankle sprain
Rotowire
George exited Friday's 109-99 loss to the Nets with 2:40 remaining in the fourth quarter and was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly thereafter due to a left ankle sprain, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
George immediately made his way to the locker room after checking out of the contest. On a positive note, head coach Will Hardy said after the game that X-rays on George's ankle came back negative, ruling out a potential fracture, per Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City. He finished the contest with 26 points (9-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one block across 32 minutes. The 22-year-old point guard's next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Raptors. If George is forced to miss time, Isaiah Collier would likely replace him in the starting five, and Walter Clayton would presumably be in line for extra playing time.
