Jazz's John Konchar: Rare triple-double in loss
Rotowire
Konchar chipped in 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 156-137 loss to the Pelicans.
With Ace Bailey (knee) joining a significant number of Jazz players on the inactive list, Konchar tied his season high in playing time and made the most of his increased minutes. The 30-year-old forward led all players in assists and grabbed a team-best 10 boards, recording his second career triple-double -- his first came with Memphis on April 10, 2022. He also tallied multiple steals for a fourth straight game.

Jazz's John Konchar: Produces first double-double
Rotowire
Konchar supplied 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to Denver.
It was the first double-double of the season for Konchar, and his first since 2023-24 with Memphis. The veteran forward has seen a significant workload the last couple of weeks due to Lauri Markkanen (hip), Jaren Jackson (knee) and other members of the Utah frontcourt being on the shelf. Over the last seven games (two starts), Konchar is averaging 10.4 points, 6.7 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.1 blocks, 1.0 threes and 0.9 steals in 28.1 minutes while shooting 58.7 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent (7-for-17) from long range.

Jazz's John Konchar: Poor defensive effort
Rotowire
Konchar closed with six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 122-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Konchar failed to record a defensive stat, continuing what has been a quiet period on that end of the court. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 1.7 combined steals and blocks per contest, less than ideal for someone considered a defensive streamer. While he does still warrant some attention, should you need a boost in either of those categories, he is obviously not the most trustworthy option.

Jazz's John Konchar: Season-high 14 rebounds
Rotowire
Konchar chipped in eight points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 loss to the Wizards.
Konchar chipped in across the board, including a season-high 14 rebounds. Fresh off a 19-point performance, Konchar has put himself back on the standard league radar, albeit only as a stream consideration. For anyone seeking a jack-of-all-trades, Konchar is worth a look, if and when he is given the green light to take the court.

Jazz's John Konchar: Ties career scoring high Monday
Rotowire
Konchar accumulated 19 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 143-127 loss to Toronto.
Making his third start in eight March appearances, Konchar tied his career scoring high, matching a mark he set Nov. 18, 2022, as a member of the Grizzlies. The 30-year-old forward hadn't scored in double digits since Dec. 2 during the current campaign, and his inconsistent usage and production make him tough to roster even as a DFS punt play.

Jazz's John Konchar: Available to play
Rotowire
Konchar (calf) is available for Wednesday's game in Minnesota, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Konchar may have his minutes monitored in his first game back from a three-game absence, but his return could mean less playing time for Andersson Garcia. Through 13 games with the Jazz, Konchar has averaged 2.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game.

Konchar is in danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to left calf injury management, which would mark his fourth straight game on the inactive list. If the 29-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Andersson Garcia and Brice Sensabaugh would be candidates to see an uptick in playing time.
