SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Jrue Holiday scored a season-high 31 points and Donovan Clingan added 23 points and 18 rebounds as the Portland Trail Blazers beat Utah 135-119 on Thursday night — hours after the Jazz lost Jaren Jackson Jr. to knee surgery and were fined $500,000 by the NBA for sitting healthy stars. Clingan also had a career-high seven assists and three blocks. Holiday had nine rebounds and seven assists to lead Portland (27-29) to its fourth victory in five games. Jerami Grant added 18 points and Scoot Henderson scored 15 in his fourth game this season.

But the Blazers responded with an 11-2 run capped by Holiday’s layup to clinch the win. Clingan sparked a 10-0 spurt with dominating play on both ends to give the Trail Blazers a 75-65 lead.

Tankers beware: Jazz fined $500,000, Pacers $100,000 by NBA for player participation policy breach | Sports

Utah appeared to find a loophole in the NBA’s player participation policy, but the league sent a message Thursday by hitting the Jazz with a $500,000 fine. The NBA also docked the Indiana Pacers $100,000 for holding out Pascal Siakam and two other starters in a Feb. 3 game against the Jazz. The policy was put in place in September 2023 to try to discourage clubs from purposely losing in order to improve their chances with the draft lottery. This year’s draft is considered the strongest in several years, possibly incentivizing clubs like the Jazz to position themselves for a high pick. The Jazz did not play stars Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. in the fourth quarter of recent close games. Both played three quarters in recent road games against Miami and Orlando. The Magic rallied from 17 points down to win 120-117, but the Jazz defeated the Heat 115-111. Jazz coach Will Hardy was asked after the game at Miami whether he considered playing Markkanen and Jackson in the fourth quarter. “I wasn’t,” Hardy said succinctly. Hardy said Thursday night after a loss to Portland that he was following the advice of the team’s medical staff. “I sat

Mountain West Watch (Feb. 12) — Title race gearing up, Latest Bracketology and Power Rankings | Sports

The Mountain West is gearing up for what should be a fantastic final leg of the regular season, featuring a tight title race between its two best programs of the last decade and a host of capable teams hot on their heels should either (or both) slip up. Several teams that are trying to ramp up for this final stretch in hopes of a regular season title or conference tournament run are having a bye sometime this week, so it’s a good time to take a step back and see how things are shaping up with some power rankings, bracketology and a closer look at the title race itself. Utah State and San Diego State title race  The Aztecs and Aggies battling for the Mountain West regular season and conference tournament titles has been an ongoing classic for the last seven seasons. They have finished 1-2 in the Mountain West standings three separate times — 2019-20, 2020-21, 2022-23 — and have faced each other three times in the conference tournament title game (and one other time in the MW tournament). With these two so often battling each other for the title, it’s no surprise when you add things up and

Utah’s Jaren Jackson Jr. will have surgery on knee growth that was found during post-trade physical | Sports

Utah Jazz forward Jaren Jackson Jr. will undergo surgery after a post-trade physical revealed a growth in his left knee, the team announced Thursday. Jackson consulted with several medical professionals after the localized pigmented villonodular synovitis growth was detected in an MRI. He will undergo surgery during the NBA All-Star break. It’s unclear how long Jackson will be out. A team spokesperson said they would provide an update on his return after the surgery. Utah acquired Jackson from Memphis as part of an eight-player deal. A rebuilding Grizzlies team received three first-round picks alongside Georges Niang, Kyle Anderson, Walter Clayton Jr. and Taylor Hendricks. Utah gained Jackson, Jock Landale, John Konchar and Vince Williams Jr. Jackson was drafted by the Grizzlies with the No. 4 pick in the 2018 draft. He was a two-time All-Star in Memphis and the 2023 NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Jackson has played in three games for Utah against Orlando, Miami and Sacramento. He helped the Jazz to a 115-111 win against Miami with 22 points and five assists, and a Wednesday night 121-93 rout of Sacramento with 23 points and four assists.
