Jordan Clarkson Out for 2024-25 Season Due to Injury

Jordan Clarkson of the Utah Jazz has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-25 NBA season due to a foot injury, specifically plantar fasciitis. After undergoing medical procedures, Clarkson will not return to play, having struggled with this issue throughout the season and appearing in only 37 games, where he averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while shooting a career-low 40.8 percent from the field. His absence adds to the injury woes of the Jazz, who are already missing key players like John Collins and Lowry Markkanen. The team currently holds a dismal record of 16-57, placing them at the bottom of the Western Conference and the entire NBA. This season marks Clarkson's lowest appearance record since his debut, previously set at 55 games. The Jazz will need to adjust their lineup as they navigate the rest of the season without him.
