Potter is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Potter was coming off three straight starts, so the Jazz will have to shake things up in their lineup once again. Given that they'll be depleted in their frontcourt, expect Brice Sensabaugh, Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk to see an uptick in playing time with Potter, and others, sidelined Friday.

Potter is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Potter was coming off three straight starts, so the Jazz will have to shake things up in their lineup once again. Given that they'll be depleted in their frontcourt, expect Brice Sensabaugh, Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk to see an uptick in playing time with Potter, and others, sidelined Friday.
Potter is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Suns. Potter will enter the starting lineup Saturday with John Collins (hip), Brice Sensabaugh (illness) and Johnny Juzang (hand) all out. Potter is averaging 7.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in 26.3 minutes across his previous three starting appearances.
Potter will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against Atlanta. The 26-year-old received the spot start for Lauri Markkanen (back) in Sunday's win over Orlando, though Potter will retreat to the bench Tuesday with Markkanen returning to game action. Potter has received inconsistent playing time throughout the season, and he has appeared in three of the Jazz's last five outings (one start), during which he has averaged 1.0 points and 1.3 assists across 14.3 minutes per contest.
Potter is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Magic on Sunday. Potter will make his third start of the season Sunday due to Lauri Markkanen being ruled out with lower back spasms. Potter made his last start Dec. 23 against the Cavaliers and finished with a season-high 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes.
Potter closed Saturday's 136-100 win over the Heat with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one assist over seven minutes. Potter failed to score for the second straight game, continuing to play a limited role on most nights. Although he has started in two games thus far, Potter is averaging just 3.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 16.9 minutes per game.
Potter isn't starting Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. Potter drew a spot start Monday against the Cavs and came through with 11 points and seven boards in 26 minutes, but he'll return to a bench role Thursday with the Jazz choosing to roll out a smaller first unit. Potter is averaging 2.7 points and 3.8 rebounds in his last six appearances as a reserve.
Potter logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 124-113 loss to the Cavaliers. Potter received his second start of the season, filling in for John Collins who was ruled out due to a hip issue. He ended his night scoring a season-high 11 points, serving up an admirable performance. If Collins misses additional time as a result of his injury, look for Potter to maintain a meaningful role, be it off the bench or as a starter.
Potter is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports. The Jazz are switching things up in the frontcourt due to the absence of John Collins (hip), and Potter will get the nod at power forward as his replacement. The former Wisconsin alum has made just one start this season -- he notched nine points, 16 rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes in a loss to the Nuggets on Nov. 27.
Potter (illness) is off the injury report for Friday's matchup against the Trail Blazers. Potter missed Tuesday's blowout loss to the Thunder due to the illness, though he'll return to action after the one-game absence. The two-way center appeared in three consecutive outings before Tuesday, during which he averaged 5.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.3 steals across 20.0 minutes per game. Potter should remain part of the rotation as long as Kyle Filipowski (lower leg) remains sidelined.
