Ruled out for Saturday
Collier (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

Scores season-high 27 points
Collier had 27 points (11-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds and 11 assists across 29 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 victory over Washington.
Analysis
Collier moved to the starting lineup due to the absence of Keyonte George (right ankle management), and he made the most of the opportunity. Three of Collier's games with at least 20 points have come off the bench this season, but he stood out in more areas than just scoring. This was also his 10th game with double-digit assists in 2025-26.

Starting Thursday vs. Washington
Collier is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Wizards on Thursday.

Collier started in nine of the Jazz's first 10 games of February, and over that span he averaged 17.3 points, 9.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals over 33.7 minutes per game.

Contributes off bench
Collier provided 18 points (5-10 FG, 8-8 FT), five assists, one block and three steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to Philadelphia.
Analysis
Collier gave the Jazz the spark off the bench that they needed during Wednesday's close loss, with the second-year pro leading the team with five dimes while finishing as Utah's second-leading scorer behind Keyonte George (30 points). Collier has taken on a larger role as the season has progressed, and since Feb. 1 he has averaged 17.1 points, 8.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 2.2 steals over 32.0 minutes per game in 13 outings (nine starts).
