Keyonte George is among seven players listed on the Utah Jazz injury report.
In the Utah Jazz’s pursuit of back-to-back wins as they take on the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, Keyonte George is listed as questionable while he continues to battle an illness.
The 22-year-old has been the most improved player to come out of a struggling year for the franchise. In his third year as a pro, Keyonte George has broken out this season. In 53 games, the 6-foot-4, 185-pound guard has career-highs in points (23.8), assists (6.2), field-goal percentage (45.5%), and three-point percentage (37%).
The Jazz have a lot on their plate in the matchup. The No. 3 seed Knicks are looking to get back in the win column after dropping two straight games to the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Lakers. While the Jazz could be considered as a team that’s tanking for a better position in the 2026 NBA Draft with a 20-45 record.

Knicks Injury Report
New York has a significantly smaller injury list for the East-West matchup.
Josh Hart is listed as doubtful while dealing with left knee soreness. Injuries have been a consistent factor for the Knicks’ dirty work player. If unable to suit up, it will be Hart’s 13th missed game this season.
Miles McBride underwent core muscle surgery on Feb. 6. and is labeled as out. At first, there was uncertainty that the guard would make it back for the Knicks’ postseason run. Recent reports have revealed that his recovery is going smoothly.
Dillon Jones is currently in the G League and is listed as out for the Knicks.
This matchup includes two teams that are on opposite sides of the standings this season. The 14-seed Jazz are 10.5 games out of a Play-In bid with 17 games left in the regular season. Meanwhile, the three-seed Knicks are playing for the most ideal position in the playoffs. They are six games behind the Detroit Pistons for the top seed in the East.
After tonight, Utah is scheduled for a three-game road trip to take on the Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, and Minnesota Timberwolves.
