Clarkson (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
The Jazz won't risk Clarkson in the season finale since the team has nothing to play for. The veteran guard showed his scoring prowess whether playing as a starter or coming off the bench, as he started in only 19 of his 55 appearances. He ends the campaign with averages of 17.1 points, 5.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting 41.3 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from deep.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Out again Friday
Rotowire
Clarkson (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Clarkson hasn't played since March 25 due to joint inflammation in his back. He has only one more chance to suit up this season -- Sunday against Golden State -- but with the Jazz out of playoff contention, the veteran point guard isn't expected to suit up for that game.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Ruled out for Thursday
Rotowire
Clarkson (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Clarkson hasn't played since March 25 due to left SI joint inflammation, and though the Jazz haven't officially shut him down for the season, the team doesn't have much incentive to get him back on the floor for its final three games. Talen Horton-Tucker and Keyonte George should continue to log heavy minutes out of the Utah backcourt Thursday.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Sitting out Sunday
Rotowire
Clarkson (back) won't play Sunday against the Warriors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Clarkson will miss his sixth straight game due to left SI inflammation. The Jazz haven't provided a timeline for Clarkson's return, and given the team's status as a non-playoff contender, it wouldn't be a surprise if he's suited up for the last time in 2023-24.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Not playing Tuesday
Rotowire
Clarkson (back) won't play Tuesday against the Cavaliers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Clarkson is set to miss a fourth consecutive game, and the 10th out of the Jazz's last 11 outings, with a nagging injury. The Jazz are already out of the playoff race, so it wouldn't be surprising if Utah ends up shutting down Clarkson for the rest of the campaign, though there haven't been any signs of that happening yet. His next chance to play will come against the Clippers on Friday.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Remains out for Sunday
Rotowire
Clarkson (back) will not play Sunday against the Kings, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
This will be the third game in a row on the shelf for Clarkson, and the Jazz have no reason to rush him back given their position in the standings. Keyonte George and Collin Sexton have been playing a ton of minutes, and Johnny Juzang has been getting more opportunities in Clarkson's absence.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Out again Friday
Rotowire
Clarkson (back) will not play Friday against the Rockets.
Clarkson will miss a second straight game Friday, and it's usually not a good sign that he's getting ruled out a day in advance. In Clarkson's absence Wednesday against the Spurs, both Keyonte George and Collin Sexton played a ton of minutes, while Brice Sensabaugh played just 13 minutes off the bench.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Clarkson won't play Wednesday against the Spurs due to lower back soreness, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
The injury is a new one for Clarkson, but it's no surprise to see the Jazz err on the side of caution with him while the team is effectively out of the mix for the playoffs. With Kris Dunn also sitting out while serving the final game of a two-game suspension, Johnny Juzang, Brice Sensabaugh and Kira Lewis could pick up some extra minutes on the wing and in the backcourt.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Rough night in return
Rotowire
Clarkson (groin) provided four points (0-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists and four rebounds across 33 minutes in Monday's 115-105 loss to Dallas.
Clarkson didn't face any limitations in his return from a six-game absence due to a right groin strain, but the empty showing from the field resulted in a disappointing fantasy line. Even though Clarkson is ostensibly healthy, the 29-43 Jazz are out of playoff contention and have shown an inclination to rest players with minor injuries at this stage of the season, so it wouldn't be surprising if the 31-year-old guard had more absences in his future.

Rotowire
Clarkson posted 22 points (10-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals over 28 minutes in Saturday's 142-121 loss to Denver.
Clarkson led all bench players in Saturday's contest in scoring while tallying a team-high-tying trio of steals and ending second on the team in scoring in a 22-point performance. Clarkson has recorded 20 or more points in 21 games this season, including 13 times while coming off the bench. He has now scored over 20 points in two of his last three games and in four of his last 10 appearances.
