Jordan Clarkson Catches Fire In Fourth Quarter Against Milwaukee Bucks

Jan 27, 2025, 9:11 PM | Updated: Jan 28, 2025, 9:56 am

SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Jazz have been missing the spark plug factor that Jordan Clarkson provides during his recent absence due to injury.

As the fourth quarter got started in Delta Center on Monday, Clarkson showed all of Utah that he still has it.

Of the Jazz’s first eight possessions of the quarter, four ended in a Clarkson three. Most of the shots had a high degree of difficulty too.

It started with a simple catch-and-shoot left-wing three off an assist from Isaiah Collier.

Less than a minute later, he stepped up to the top of the key and laced another. About another minute later, he tried his luck from the left wing again and found the bottom of the net.

The next shot was a heat check. But, they call him the flame for a reason.

In his return, Clarkson finished with 13 points, five assists, and three rebounds on 50 percent shooting from three.

Jazz Look To Snap Losing Streak With Bucks In Town

The Utah Jazz are finally back in Delta Center after a winless four-game road trip. They are met by the East’s four-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in downtown Salt Lake City.

The Jazz and Bucks last faced off on November 7 where Milwaukee took a 123-100 win in front of their home fans. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard combined for 65 points in that game. Jordan Clarkson, who is returning from injury on Monday, led Utah in scoring in the last matchup with 18.

John Collins, Walker Kessler, Johnny Juzang, Cody Williams, and Taylor Hendricks are all out for the Monday night matchup.
