Part of rotation in team debut
Konchar ended with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 120-117 loss to the Magic.
Analisi
Cleared to make his Jazz debut after he was acquired from the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Konchar was part of the team's initial 10-man rotation to open the first half of Saturday's contest. The defensive-minded wing produced well during his time on the court, but Konchar's minutes could still remain volatile over the final few months of the season. The Jazz are clearly prioritizing player development over wins, and the 29-year-old Konchar may not be part of the club's long-term plans, so it wouldn't be surprising if he eventually fell out of the rotation.

Cleared to make Utah debut Saturday
Konchar (neck/recently traded) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Orlando.
Analisi
Konchar was dealing with a neck injury that caused him to miss two consecutive games prior to his trade from the Grizzlies to the Jazz on Tuesday. He mostly served in a rotational role off the bench for Memphis before the move, and Konchar will have to battle with Svi Mykhailiuk, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski for consistent minutes off the bench. Konchar is averaging 3.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals over 14.5 minutes per game this season.

Not playing Thursday
Konchar (neck/recently traded) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hawks.
Analisi
Konchar was traded by the Grizzlies to the Jazz on Tuesday as part of a larger package centered around Jaren Jackson. Konchar had been working through a neck injury prior to his move to Utah, and his next opportunity to make his Jazz debut will be Saturday against the Magic.

Moving to Utah
The Grizzlies traded Konchar (neck), Jaren Jackson, Jock Landale and Vince Williams to the Jazz on Tuesday in exchange for Walter Clayton, Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Anderson (illness), Georges Niang (foot) and three first-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analisi
Konchar will battle with Svi Mykhailiuk, Brice Sensabaugh and others for reserve minutes at the wing positions for Utah. The 6-foot-5 back-up ends his time in Memphis after six-and-a-half seasons and 337 games during which he averaged 4.1 points, 0.8 steals and 0.6 three-pointers over 17 minutes per contest. He's been battling a minor neck injury before the trade and can be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Atlanta while the trade finalizes.
