The Utah Jazz will host the Orlando Magic this Sunday, facing a challenging matchup with the Magic missing key players. Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, and Paolo Banchero are sidelined, while Anthony Black is uncertain due to a back injury. Banchero, who hasn’t played in over a month, has shown signs of improvement by participating in light contact drills during practice.
Meanwhile, the Jazz are also dealing with injury issues, as Jordan Clarkson is expected to miss the game after sustaining Plantar Fasciitis in their previous win against the Miami Heat. In Clarkson's absence, Brice Sensabaugh stepped up remarkably, scoring a career-high 34 points, leading Utah to victory. Despite the back-to-back games, the Jazz are looking to maintain momentum and improve their 8-25 record, which places them at the bottom of the Western Conference.
