George is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors due to a sprained left ankle.
George suffered the sprained ankle in Friday's loss to the Nets, though the questionable tag suggests that he can be considered day-to-day going forward. If the third-year point guard is unable to suit up, Isaiah Collier would likely get the starting nod, while Walter Clayton could see a bump in minutes off the bench.

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.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Another inefficient outing
Rotowire
George logged eight points (3-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Sunday's 131-101 loss to the Thunder.
Save for George's scoreless outing at the end of November, when he was battling an illness, this was the third-year guard's only single-digit scoring outing this season. He's still in the midst of a breakout campaign, but the dynamic guard is shooting only 37.5 percent from the field over his past five appearances.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Goose egg in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
George amassed zero points (0-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Sunday's 129-101 loss to the Rockets.
The third-year point guard came into the afternoon contest battling an illness, and George certainly didn't look to be 100 percent healthy in what was by far his worst offensive performance of the season. In fact, it's the first time in 2025-26 he'd failed to score in double digits, and just the second time he failed to drain at least one three-pointer. Utah will be back in action Monday in a rematch with Houston, and George has to be viewed as a risky lineup option until he shows he's fully kicked the bug.

George is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to an illness, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Over that surge, George is averaging 28.4 points, 7.4 assists, 4.0 boards, 3.4 threes and 1.8 steals while shooting an eye-popping 49.0 percent from the floor -- a massive improvement for a player who couldn't break 40 percent in either of his first two seasons in the NBA.
