Walker Kessler Out Again With Shoulder Injury

Walker Kessler of the Utah Jazz has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury, missing multiple games including the upcoming contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Kessler, who has been a key player with averages of 11.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks this season, is considered day-to-day following his injury during a recent game against the Memphis Grizzlies. With Kessler and teammate John Collins both out, the Jazz will rely on Drew Eubanks and Kyle Filipowski for frontcourt minutes. The Bucks, looking to secure their 26th win of the season, will face the Jazz, who have struggled at home with a 3-15 record. The matchup is critical for the Bucks, who are on a four-game road trip and are currently favored to win. Kessler's absence is significant for the Jazz as they aim to improve their performance against a stronger Bucks team.
