Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Enters starting five vs. Kings

Clarkson started in place of injured Mike Conley and was impressive in his new role

The Utah Jazz started Jordan Clarkson in place of injured Mike Conley on Monday night against the Sacramento Kings, and Clarkson did not disappoint. He finished the game with 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists in a 117-114 win.

Clarkson was aggressive from the start, attacking the basket and getting to the free throw line. He also hit some big shots from the outside, including a three-pointer in the fourth quarter that gave the Jazz the lead for good.

Clarkson's performance was a welcome sight for the Jazz, who have been struggling with injuries all season. Conley has been out with a knee injury, and Donovan Mitchell has also missed time with various injuries.

Clarkson's strong play could help the Jazz make a playoff push

With Clarkson playing well, the Jazz could be a dangerous team in the playoffs. They have a lot of talent, and if they can stay healthy, they could make a run to the Western Conference Finals.

Clarkson is a key part of the Jazz's success. He is a versatile player who can score, rebound, and pass. He is also a good defender. With Clarkson in the starting lineup, the Jazz are a much better team.
