Jordan Clarkson Utah Jazz

Clarkson, a sixth man for most of his career, has been a starter this season and has been a calming presence in the Jazz locker room.

He and the Jazz want to take the extra steps of making sure the hamstring is sound. He put the ball on the floor, got to the basket and dunked the ball. He handled a pick-and-roll and dished a nice assist to a cutting The last thing Sexton or the Jazz want is for the guard to suffer another strain. The Jazz are expecting to be in a lot of conversations. He also couldn’t move laterally the way he wanted to when playing defense. Especially when he’s playing shooting guard, his size makes it so that he has to be faster than his opposition to be effective. Basically, Sexton couldn’t explode to the basket the way he wanted to. This is the reason that, after coming back for a couple of games last week after a hamstring strain, Sexton has been out this week. He’s provided expert leadership in the locker room, and he’s letting what could be a long process play itself out. As a result, the Jazz think his game will age well, which would allow him to be a part of the current rebuild. Clarkson has been one of the best locker room pieces the franchise has had in quite some time.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson has been ejected Sunday in the team's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Following a replay review, Clarkson was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected from the game. After the foul was called, Clarkson then squared up as if ready to fight. As Desmond Bane entered the lane for a layup in the third quarter, Clarkson appeared to swipe at his face.

Call it the Jordan Clarkson siiiike game. Mostly because everything else was pretty forgettable in Memphis.

"The incident with Jordan is that's a part of the games sometimes," Hardy said. It was either a purposeful hit, or a lethargic attempt to hit the ball. Throw in seven Jazz turnovers in the quarter (they finished with 20 for the night) and it turned into a 12-minute run the visitors couldn't overcome. It was silly. Chicago and Memphis aren't that close, distance wise, and the early tip meant the Jazz played twice in the span of 22 hours. It was odd.
