Jazz's Kyle Anderson had 1 incredible game, and Utah hasn't played him since

Kyle Anderson has the weirdest game log in the NBA of late.

On New Year's Day, Anderson had a fantastic game for the Utah Jazz. He hasn't played since.

First, let's revisit those stats from Jan. 1 against the Clippers:

22 points

8 rebounds

1 assist

2 steals

2 blocks

The Jazz have played four games since then. Anderson hasn't played in any.

He had also sat out seven in a row before that outburst in 32 minutes against L.A.

When at full health, the Jazz do have a lot of options for playing time, including young players who they want to develop.

It is ironic to see such a good performance and not see even a bit of a reward of a chunk of playing time off the bench once in a while.

They call Anderson Slow-Mo, but right now, it's more like No-Mo.

Maybe the Jazz will give him another chance. And maybe he'll do well with it again.

But for now, Anderson can only watch.
