The Utah Jazz will take on the New Orleans Pelicans for the second game in a row. The Pelicans took a big lead in the last game and handled the Jazz pretty well until late. There will be a difference in this one with Keyonte George returning from injury.

George has not played since he turned his ankle in Jaren Jackson Jr.’s debut on February 7th. In that one he turned his ankle after having already been out with a turned ankle before. It’ll be good to see Keyonte George again, the player who has been the biggest surprise this season for the Jazz. The only concern is whether he can stay healthy for the rest of the season. It’ll be good for him to play well, but there is an element of risk here in playing for the rest of the season. Probably the most important thing for George at this point is to figure out how to focus on improving while also avoiding injury. If he can do that, that will be massively effective for the Jazz, who are now working towards a successful season next year.
