Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Joining starting lineup
Rotowire
Harkless is starting Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Harkless will make his first start of his career Monday, and he'll be tasked with slotting in for Lauri Markkanen (hip). Harkless has scored in double figures in back-to-back games off the bench and should be in store for a heavier workload Monday evening.

Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Makes brief cameo Friday
Rotowire
Harkless (hamstring) played seven minutes and finished with two points (1-1 FG, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist in Friday's 123-114 loss to the Grizzlies.
The two-way player hadn't made an appearance at the NBA or G League level since Jan. 3 while he recovered from a left hamstring injury before he was cleared to play coming out of the All-Star break. With Utah down five players due to injury Friday, Harkless ended up cracking the rotation, but he played just one shift in the first quarter before remaining on the bench for the final three periods. Expect Harkless to drop out of the rotation if the Jazz get one or more of Keyonte George (ankle), Jusuf Nurkic (nose) and Lauri Markkanen (illness) back in action for their next game Monday in Houston.

Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Harkless (hamstring) is off Utah's injury report for Friday's game against Memphis.
Harkless looks to be healthy coming out of the All-Star break following an extended absence due to a left hamstring injury. However, the two-way player hasn't appeared at the NBA level since the middle of November, so his next appearance could end up coming with the G League's Salt Lake City Stars rather than the Jazz.

Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Likely to miss about two more weeks
Rotowire
Harkless (hamstring) said Friday that he expects to miss about two more weeks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Harkless suffered a left hamstring injury in early January, and he'll likely head straight back to the G League's Salt Lake City Stars once he's cleared to play. The two-way player has appeared in just seven regular-season games with the parent club so far this season, so his continued absence shouldn't affect the Utah rotation.

Harkless finished with 15 points (4-16 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in Friday's 105-92 Summer League loss to the Bulls.

Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Good to go Monday
Rotowire
Harkless (wrist) will play in Monday's Summer League game against the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Harkless will shed his questionable tag due to right wrist soreness and suit up in the second half of the team's back-to-back set. The 25-year-old was also listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's loss to the Warriors and gave it a go, though he exited the game after logging six minutes.

Rotowire
Harkless (wrist) is questionable for Monday's Summer League game against the Spurs, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Harkless left Sunday's Summer League game against the Warriors due to right wrist soreness, so it won't be surprising if he sits out the second half of Utah's back-to-back. His status should be clarified closer to Monday's tipoff.

Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Harkless will not return to Sunday's Summer League game against the Warriors due to right wrist soreness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Harkless was listed as questionable just ahead of gametime due to a right wrist injury, but he was ultimately cleared. After giving it a go, Harkless has been ruled out for the rest of the game due to the same injury. The Jazz play again Monday, so he could be forced to miss multiple contests.
