Makes brief cameo Friday
Harkless (hamstring) played seven minutes and finished with two points (1-1 FG, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist in Friday's 123-114 loss to the Grizzlies.
Analysis
The two-way player hadn't made an appearance at the NBA or G League level since Jan. 3 while he recovered from a left hamstring injury before he was cleared to play coming out of the All-Star break. With Utah down five players due to injury Friday, Harkless ended up cracking the rotation, but he played just one shift in the first quarter before remaining on the bench for the final three periods. Expect Harkless to drop out of the rotation if the Jazz get one or more of Keyonte George (ankle), Jusuf Nurkic (nose) and Lauri Markkanen (illness) back in action for their next game Monday in Houston.

Absent from injury report
Harkless (hamstring) is off Utah's injury report for Friday's game against Memphis.
Analysis
It signals that Harkless is healthy following an extended absence due to a left hamstring injury. However, he hasn't appeared at the NBA level since the middle of November, so his next showing in game action is likely to come with the G League's Salt Lake City Stars.
