Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Scores eight points in 15 minutes
Rotowire
Clarkson finished Sunday's 115-107 loss to the Heat with eight points (2-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes.
The Knicks have been dealing with several injuries to open the season, so it's pretty telling that Clarkson has averaged just 14.6 minutes per contest through three games. With Tyler Kolek and Landry Shamet also competing for minutes in the second unit, it doesn't appear like Clarkson will see enough shots to warrant attention in most fantasy leagues.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Wraps preseason on high note
Rotowire
Clarkson recorded 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 113-108 preseason win over the Hornets.
Clarkson managed to post a solid showing in his last appearance of the preseason. His scoring average has dropped in each of his final two seasons in Utah, but a change of scenery could certainly alter that trajectory heading into the 2025-26 campaign now that he's playing for a true contender. After starting the preseason finale, Clarkson was spotted with a heating pad on his right calf to begin the second half, allowing Miles McBride to start the third quarter. Clarkson eventually came back into the contest, and his status for the regular-season opener isn't currently in jeopardy.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Moves into starting lineup
Rotowire
Clarkson will start Monday's preseason game against the Wizards, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
With the Knicks resting their usual starters, Clarkson will start alongside Miles McBride, Malcolm Brogdon, Pacome Dadiet and Guerschon Yabusele. Clarkson played for four different teams before joining the Knicks, but this is the first time he's moved cities since 2019, so there may be an adjustment period for the veteran.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Scores 10 off bench
Rotowire
Clarkson finished with 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes of Thursday's 100-95 preseason win over Minnesota.
Clarkson has been heavily involved with the second unit to open the preseason, as he's tied with the team lead in usage rate at 27.3 percent. However, he's yet to find his rhythm, as he's shooting 40.0 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from the line through three exhibitions. That said, it certainly looks like he won't be shy on his new team.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Scores nine points in win
Rotowire
Clarkson racked up nine points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across 15 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason win over the 76ers.
Clarkson suited up for his new squad for the first time during the team's preseason opener overseas. The one-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year will likely play a significant role off the bench for New York, as he could become Mike Brown's go-to guy in the second unit when it comes to scoring.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Intends to sign with New York
Rotowire
Clarkson (foot) intends to sign with the Knicks once he clears waivers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
The Jazz decided to waive Clarkson, but the veteran guard didn't have problems finding a new home for the 2025-26 season. He should add some much-needed depth in the backcourt for the Knicks, and Clarkson should see consistent minutes off the bench, either as a point guard or as a shooting guard. Clarkson, who averaged 16.2 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes per contest in 37 regular-season games in 2024-25, is also dealing with a foot injury but is expected to be healthy come training camp in the fall.

Jordan Clarkson: Contract buyout finalized
Rotowire
The Jazz and Clarkson (foot) agreed to finalize a contract buyout Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
With Collin Sexton also on his way out of Utah, the Jazz continue to pave the way in their backcourt for Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton. Clarkson proved to be a serviceable source of offense off the bench when healthy in 2024-25, and his services are likely to be eyed by contending clubs this offseason. Across 37 games last season, the veteran combo guard averaged 16.2 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Out for season
Rotowire
Clarkson will miss the rest of the season for the Jazz after having a procedure to address the plantar fasciitis in his left foot, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.
Clarkson has been in and out of Utah's lineup over the last two months, which led to the team shutting him down for the rest of the 2024-25 season following a procedure on his injured foot. In 37 games played, the veteran guard averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, shooting a career-low 40.8 percent from the floor and 36.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Getting green light Monday
Rotowire
Clarkson (foot/illness) is available for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Clarkson will return to the court following a one-game absence due to planter fasciitis in his left foot and an illness. He's appeared in only two games since Feb. 26, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him held to around the 20-to-25 minute range, especially considering he logged 24 minutes Wednesday and 23 minutes Friday.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Clarkson is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to an illness and plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
Clarkson posted 19 points, two rebounds, three assists and two steals off the bench in Friday's loss to the Raptors. Unsurprisingly, the veteran guard won't play Sunday, as the Jazz are resting their ailing veteran with a lot of frequency. This means Johnny Juzang and Jaden Springer could see more minutes in the backcourt. Clarkson's next chance to play will come Monday against Chicago in the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Paces Utah in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Clarkson produced 19 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes off the bench during Friday's 126-118 loss to the Raptors.
The veteran guard led the Jazz in scoring on a night when Walker Kessler and John Collins (ankle) didn't play, and Lauri Markkanen got the entire second half off. Clarkson just returned from a seven-game absence due to a foot injury himself, and in two appearances since rejoining the lineup he's seen a slightly reduced workload as Utah focuses on trying to secure the worst record in the NBA.

Clarkson (foot) tallied 12 points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes Wednesday in the Jazz's 122-115 loss to the Grizzlies.
Clarkson returned to action in his typical sixth-man role after he had missed the Jazz's previous seven games due to left foot plantar fasciitis. He provided some decent contributions across the board, but Clarkson may not have much of an opportunity to see his minutes and production take a dramatic step forward unless starting shooting guard Collin Sexton misses time.

He started in six of 10 games prior to his foot injury, and over that span he averaged 18.8 points, 4.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds over 31.0 minutes.
