儘管又是一個悲慘的賽季，但在周一猶他爵士隊的退出採訪中，空氣中瀰漫著樂觀的氣氛。科揚特·喬治是一位對自己的未來充滿希望的球員。

爵士隊最終以22勝60負的戰績與薩克拉門托國王隊並列西部聯盟最差戰績。猶他州隊連續第四個賽季無緣季後賽。

喬治在第三年取得了突破，場均貢獻生涯最高的23.6分、6.1次助攻和1.1次抄截。然而，由於各種傷病，他只參加了 54 場比賽。儘管如此，他還是證明了他可以成為聯盟中最有生產力的後衛之一。

當被問及爵士隊下個賽季能否進入季後賽時，22歲的喬治 連睫毛都沒眨一下，如《體育畫報》發布的影片所示。

「當然。毫無疑問。在紙面上，我們看起來非常出色，我們很大，有長度，我們可以投籃，到達籃框。我們有多個防守球員可以保護油漆區和外線。如果你看看我們，我們擁有所有的工具，」喬治說。

他補充說，他希望爵士隊在經歷了另一個充滿挑戰的賽季後能夠變得更加團結。

「從上到下，每個人都知道自己的能力。所以我希望我們能夠擁有良好的友誼。我希望我們每天都有一個共同的目標，」喬治說。

“老實說，我希望每一天都充滿樂趣。”

科揚特·喬治談到他對爵士隊下個賽季的期望：

🗣️“我希望每一天都充滿樂趣。過去幾年事情一直如此。但我認為現在對我們來說……我們都有一個共同的目標。”

他們能進季後賽嗎？

爵士隊在 2023 年以第 16 順位選秀權選中了喬治，希望他成為球隊的組織核心。他每個賽季都在進步，如果明年他首次亮相全明星賽，也就不足為奇了。

正如他所提到的，猶他州擁有完整的陣容，他、勞裡·馬爾卡寧、沃克·凱斯勒、小賈倫·傑克遜、艾斯·貝利、布萊斯·森薩博、以賽亞·科利爾、優素福·努爾基奇和凱爾·菲利波夫斯基組成了主要輪換陣容。

如果他們能夠保持健康，爵士隊可能會震驚聯盟。

The Utah Jazz host the New Orleans Pelicans at the Delta Center on Saturday night for the second consecutive game. The Pelicans won 129-118 last time out, with Sadiq Bey having a stellar performance of 42 points, seven assists and five rebounds.

The Pelicans have found momentum recently and are currently on a three-game winning streak. Regardless, the Jazz have once again added Keyonte George to the official injury list, as he is listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain.

George last played for Utah in a loss against the Orlando Magic and is on the injured list along with several players including Lauri Markkanen, who is out with a strained right hip.
Stroke. Walker Kessler, Jaren Jackson Jr., Jusuf Nurkic and Vince Williams Jr. are also out with various injuries.

For the Pelicans, Yves Missy is listed as questionable, while Trey Murphy III, Dejounte Murray, Trey Alexander and Hunter Dickinson are officially out.

Keyontae George injury status vs. Pelicans

George will once again be a game-time decision but his questionable status suggests he could also play a role. Given their recent form and their 18-41 record, they need to get their guard back fit as soon as possible.

This should be another fast-paced matchup like Thursday night when the Pelicans dispatched the Jazz in Salt Lake City. While both teams are currently tied for the bottom of the Western Conference, New Orleans (18-42) will be hoping to pick up another win.

The Pelicans have won four of their last six contests and if George is unable to play, Utah will once again have to rely on the poor second unit that has kept them afloat. The Jazz bench scored 61 points Thursday, including Ace Bailey’s 23 points and Bryce Sensabaugh’s 20 points.

However, Utah’s biggest obstacle remains their weak defense. The Jazz are currently surrendering 125.9 points per game and will need to be better than in recent weeks to have a chance.

The Utah Jazz visit the Houston Rockets on Monday night, with both teams coming into this contest coming off losses. The Rockets suffered a loss to the New York Knicks and had an incredible fourth quarter comeback, while the Jazz lost 123–114 against the Memphis Grizzlies.

And well, the Jazz have several injury concerns to worry about, with both Lauri Markkanen and Keyontae George on the injury list. While Markkanen is listed as probable due to illness, George is questionable due to a right ankle sprain, according to the official injury report.

Of course, the same is true for the Rockets, who are also missing several names for this game.

Lauri Markkanen, Keyontae George’s injury status vs. Rockets

Markkanen is listed as probable and Utah’s leading scorer is expected to suit up against Houston. Markkanen last played for the Jazz in a win over the Sacramento Kings and they have lost both of their games during his absence.

Markkanen is currently averaging 26.7 points and seven rebounds per game and his presence becomes even more important against a Rockets defense that ranks fourth in points allowed (109.4 per game).

Utah entered the matchup 18-39 after a 123-114 loss to Memphis, admitting 24 turnovers. As for George, his questionable status means the Jazz have even more issues to deal with. George is averaging 23.8 points and 6.5 assists per game and it would be a big miss if he sits out. Regardless, the Rockets also have several absentees, including Steven Adams and Tristan Newton.
