George made his impact felt in the second half, scoring 18 points while adding eight dimes to help propel the Jazz to their third win in four games. It was his third double-double of the season and his first since Oct. 27 against the Suns. Over his last 10 outings, George has averaged 24.9 points, 7.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 3.0 threes and 1.1 steals over 34.7 minutes per game.

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.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Questionable to play Sunday
Rotowire
George is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to an illness, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
George is having a breakout season in the 2025-26 campaign, and not having him against one of the top teams in the Western Conference would be a huge blow for the Jazz. The guard is averaging 24.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game over his last 10 outings.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Big numbers again Monday
Rotowire
George notched 28 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 134-117 loss to the Warriors.
The third-year guard led the Jazz in scoring on the night while posting at least 20 points for a fifth straight game. 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.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Leading scorer in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
George registered 27 points (10-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 108-106 loss to the Lakers.
The third-year point guard led the Jazz in scoring as he continues to build a breakout season. George has delivered at least 20 points in four straight games and seven of 11 in November, averaging 23.9 points, 6.3 assists, 4.0 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.0 steals on the month.
George chipped in 34 points (13-23 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 140-126 loss to the Lakers.
George logged a stellar line despite coming up short, leading the Jazz with his best scoring total of the season. His total could have been even higher if he had connected more of his 13 attempts beyond the arc, but George still shattered his previous season-high three treys with five drilled bombs from downtown.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Scores 33 in win over Chicago
Rotowire
George recorded 33 points (10-27 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 10-10 FT), two rebounds, six assists and four steals across 44 minutes during Sunday's 150-147 double-overtime victory over Chicago.
George posted a season-high scoring mark in this double-overtime win, though he didn't carry the team in scoring since Lauri Markkanen posted 47 points. George has scored at least 18 points in all but one of his appearances since the beginning of November, averaging 22.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game in that span.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Paces Utah in loss
Rotowire
George chipped in 27 points (9-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block over 36 minutes during Monday's 120-113 loss to the Timberwolves.
George continued his strong start to the season Monday, though the effort wasn't enough to lift the Jazz to a win. The young guard opened the campaign averaging 21.2 points, 9.2 assists and 3.8 rebounds over his first five games and has maintained impressive production since, posting 24.0 points, 5.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds across his past five contests. While the assist totals have naturally regressed from an unsustainable early pace, George's increased scoring and steady overall play have solidified him as a dependable fantasy option in what's shaping up to be a breakout third season.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Scores 18 points in blowout loss
Rotowire
George registered 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 137-97 loss to the Timberwolves.
George is enjoying an excellent start to the campaign and has scored 15-plus points in each of his nine appearances this season. Even though the two assists were a season-low output for the former Baylor star, George has done a good job both as a scorer and playmaker, and his role as a key cog in Utah's offense is set in stone right now. Through nine appearances, George is averaging 22.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 0.9 steals per game. Those numbers would represent career-best numbers for the guard in the points and assists categories.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Paces Utah in win
Rotowire
George tallied 31 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-13 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes in Monday's 105-103 win over the Celtics.
George led the Jazz with a team- and season-best 31 points. The 21-year-old point guard also tied the team high in three-pointers made, knocking down multiple triples for the fourth time in seven regular-season outings. During that span, he has recorded four games with at least 25 points and has yet to score fewer than 16.
The Jazz exercised George's fourth-year team option Thursday.
George is now set to remain with the Jazz through the 2026-27 season. Over four outings this year, the combo guard is averaging 22.3 points, 9.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals per contest.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Career-best night at charity stripe
Rotowire
George finished Wednesday's 136-134 loss to the Trail Blazers with 29 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 15-15 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 32 minutes.
The third-year point guard has the best game of his career at the free-throw line, as the 15 attempts and makes were both personal bests. George has topped 25 points in back-to-back contests and has yet to dish fewer than eight assists in a game, averaging 22.3 points, 9.3 dimes, 2.8 boards, 1.5 threes and 1.0 steals on the young season, and there could be even better production on the way -- he's shooting just 22.2 percent (6-for-27) from three-point range, well below last season's 34.3 percent mark.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Thrives in overtime win
Rotowire
George recorded 26 points (8-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Monday's 138-134 overtime victory over Phoenix.
George posted his second straight double-double, helping the Jazz improve to 2-1 on the season. He's been red hot to open his third NBA campaign, posting averages of 20.0 points, 9.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers. He's shooting 18.2 percent from beyond the arc despite being above 33 percent for his career, so he's likely due for some positive regression on that front too.

Jazz's Keyonte George: One assist shy of double-double
Rotowire
George finished Wednesday's 129-108 victory over the Clippers with 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 30 minutes.
George got the starting nod in the season opener with backcourt mate Isaiah Collier (hamstring) sidelined Wednesday. He appears to have a firm grip on the starting point guard role after finishing with a near double-double in a blowout win. George converted just one of his seven attempts from deep but made all six shots from inside the arc.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Paces scoring attack in victory
Rotowire
George registered 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists, two steals and one block across 26 minutes during Thursday's 132-129 win over the Trail Blazers.
George needed only 11 attempts from the field to lead the Jazz in scoring, adding nine of his 20 points from beyond the arc. This was a much-improved showing for the 21-year-old, who had been held to nine points in 23 minutes during Monday's exhibition against the Mavericks. George will look to take yet another step forward during the 2025-26 campaign after averaging 16.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 67 games a season ago.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Productive in loss
Rotowire
George finished with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), nine assists and two rebounds in 28 minutes of Wednesday's 140-127 preseason loss to Houston.
The Jazz had several injuries to report Wednesday, including to point guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring). George started Wednesday's contest and was a bright spot on the team along with Ace Bailey and Brice Sensabaugh. George's position battle with Collier will be a storyline to monitor during the preseason.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Produces solid totals from bench
Rotowire
George finished Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Rockets with 17 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and eight assists in 29 minutes.
George has handled increased work with aplomb during his second season with the Jazz. He's stepped into the first unit 32 times, and it appears he might be one trade away from taking over a starting role in the backcourt next season. His shot could use a bit more seasoning, but he hasn't been shy about heaving it up at the perimeter. He's averaging 7.4 three-point attempts per game with a conversion percentage of 34.6 percent.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Shines off the bench with 19 points
Rotowire
George finished Friday's 121-99 loss to the Celtics with 19 points (7-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds and seven assists over 33 minutes.
George has been a bright spot during a disappointing season. He's followed up a promising freshman campaign with a productive sophomore campaign, averaging 16.9 points, 5.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds over 56 games. Given the backcourt depth George provides, the Jazz may elect to make some roster moves in the offseason that could make him an everyday starter next year.

George (foot/illness) finished with 16 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 111-97 loss to the Bulls.
George returned from a four-game absence due to a left foot contusion and an illness, leading the Jazz bench in scoring. The 21-year-old guard is now averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 three-pointers in 31.4 minutes per game over his 54 appearances, but he's shooting just 39.5 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from downtown.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
George (foot/illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.
George has missed four straight games, including the first half of Utah's current back-to-back set. Even if he's cleared to suit up, George would likely face some restrictions in his first outing in over a week.
