Second-year forward/center Micah Potter has appeared in just three NBA games while on a two-way contract with the Jazz and won’t be playing in his fourth anytime soon.
According to a press release from the team, an MRI on Potter’s injured right elbow revealed loose body fragments in the elbow. He will undergo surgery on Friday to remove those loose body fragments and will be reevaluated in approximately four-to-six weeks.
Although he has played sparingly for the Jazz in 2022/23, Potter has seen more action at the G League level, appearing in 12 games for the Salt Lake City Stars between the Showcase Cup and the regular season. He has registered averages of 14.8 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 29.3 minutes per contest.
Potter’s two-way deal with Utah covers the 2023/24 season as well as this one. Rookie guard Johnny Juzang currently occupies the team’s other two-way slot.
