Evan Mobley will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and is expected to miss six to eight weeks.
Mobley had missed the previous four games with the injury.
During 21 games this season, Mobley is averaging 16.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 blocks in 33.6 minutes.
Rival executives believe that the Utah Jazz are willing to trade Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton, and Kelly Olynyk, according to Marc Stein of Substack.
Clarkson signed a two-year, $28.4 million extension last summer and cannot be traded until after January 7.
The 24-year-old Sexton has been the frequent target of trade rumors.
Executives believe that Olynyk is the most likely to be moved out of the three. Olynyk will be a free agent this summer.
The Jazz also reportedly looking to move on from John Collins.
The Utah Jazz are open to trading John Collins, sources told Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune.
“The 26-year-old has the lowest on-court/off-court splits of any rotation player on the team, and the team has been frustrated with his slow uptake on learning the Jazz’s system on both ends of the floor,” according to Larsen.
Collins missed his third straight game due to a non-COVID illness.
Collins is averaging 14.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game this season.
