The big man was almost held out of Utah's last game as a rest night, but he was ultimately upgraded to active and is no longer on the injury report for Friday night's game. He will play but isn't likely to see his usual workload with Utah completely out of contention at this point in the season.

Walker Kessler is now listed as available for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Kessler had initially been ruled out. He is expected to play with Lauri Markkanen now ruled out. He should remain in his starting role, but it is unclear if he'll play his usual starter' minutes.

Even with John Collins and Lauri Markkanen returning from injury, Kessler is proving he needs to remain on fantasy rosters for the remainder of the season.
