Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Coming off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Collier is not in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Magic on Saturday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Collier was the starting point guard in the Jazz's last three games and put together some strong performances, including a 22-assist game against the Pacers on Tuesday and a 25-point double-double Thursday against the Hawks. Keyonte George (ankle) was cleared to return from a three-game absence but will be restricted to approximately 24 minutes, so Collier should continue to operate in an expanded role despite his demotion to the bench.

Collier finished Tuesday's 131-122 victory over the Pacers with 17 points (6-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, 22 assists and three steals over 48 minutes.
Collier never left the floor with Keyonte George (ankle) out and produced a career-high 22 assists, the most by a Jazz player since John Stockton in 1992, while also scoring 17 points on middling efficiency. Once George returns, Collier is unlikely to see this level of playing time and usage on a consistent basis, which should limit his ceiling moving forward.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Logs double-double from bench
Rotowire
Collier logged 18 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT) and 13 assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 143-135 loss to the Lakers.
Collier recorded his second double-double of the season in the loss. The second-year pro saw his first-team aspirations fade after a hamstring injury kept him out of action to begin the year, but the USC product has continued to demonstrate an innate ability to move the ball around. Keyonte George's rise to the starting role at point guard is certainly well-deserved, but Collier has proven to be equally capable as a backup.
