Favors scored 13 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-7 Ft) with eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and a steal in 34 minutes during Monday's loss to the Celtics.
It's his fourth multi-block effort in his last five games. Favors continues to see big minutes and roll towards a career season, despite the development of Rudy Gobert behind him on the Jazz's depth chart.

Favors (personal) was placed straight back into his starting center role, scoring nine ponts (3-7 FG, 3-4 FT) with eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 31 minutes Saturday.
Favors missed just the one game due to personal reasons and is straight back to his usual allotment of minutes. He can continue to be relied up and deployed as usual.
Sat Jan 24 201521:15Favors (personal) back in starting lineup for Jazz on Saturday
Favors (personal) is back in the starting lineup for the Jazz on Saturday, the Jazz's official site reports.
Favors missed Thursday's game for personal reasons, so there's no reason to suspect any drop in his production.
Sat Jan 24 201512:35Derrick Favors: (Personal) Will Play Saturday
Favors (personal) is expected to play against the Nets on Saturday, the New York Post reports.
Favors missed Thursday's game in Milwaukee for a personal reason but should assume his normal role for the Jazz on Saturday. His reinsertion into the lineup will likely cause a decrease in the amount of playing time that Rudy Gobert saw in Favors' absence.
Thu Jan 22 201519:18Derrick Favors: (Personal) Absence Won't Be Lengthy
Favors' (personal) absence from the Jazz isn't expected to be lengthy, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Favors has been ruled out for Thursday's contest in Milwaukee, which is allowing Rudy Gobert to enter the starting lineup. The Jazz next take the floor Saturday against the Nets, for which Favors should be considered questionable at this point.
Thu Jan 22 201514:45Favors (personal) will not play against Bucks on Thursday
Favors (personal) will not play against the Bucks on Thursday, Aaron Falk of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Little is known about the situation at this point, but Favors will not suit up Thursday and should be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets. Rudy Gobert will likely get the start in his place for the Jazz, who are 0-3 without Favors this season.

Favors put up 12 points (6-11 FG), one rebound, one assist, and two steals in 25 minutes against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Wednesday's outing marked Favors' worst rebounding total of the season. The Jazz trailed the Cavaliers for most of the game, and on top of that, this was the first of back-to-back games for the Jazz. These two factors likely detail why Favors didn't play his normal 30.2 minutes per game. He should be deployed as usual against the Bucks on Saturday.

Favors (leg) finished with 22 points (10-16 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, and a blocked shot in just under 30 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Favors played only 18 minutes against the Houston Rockets on Saturday, as his leg was clearly bothering him. Considering he's averaging 30.7 minutes per game on the season, it's a very positive sign for his knee that he was able to play a full minutes load Tuesday. His knee should most likely be fine going forward and expect him to play without any restrictions. He's had a very strong month of January so far, averaging 18.4 points and 10.0 rebounds per game.
Sun Jan 11 201516:11Derrick Favors: Dealing With Leg Injury
Favors played just 18 minutes against the Rockets on Saturday as coach Quin Snyder sat him down the stretch with discomfort in his leg, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
There's still no word on exactly what was affecting Favors, but Snyder noticed him limping in the second half and decided to sit him down the stretch. It seems rather minor in nature since the Jazz haven't divulged the specifics and Favors should be considered day-to-day under the assumption that he'll be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Favors dominated the Sixers on Saturday, scoring 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-3 FT) with 15 rebounds, three assists, three steals and five blocks in 34 minutes.
The 15 boards and five blocks tied Favors' season-highs as the big man continues his breakout season. His owners would be thrilled with the fact that Favors has shot 78 percent from the free throw line over the past five games, well up on his season mark of 70 percent, further adding to his value.

Favors (ankle) scored 11 points (3-8 FG, 5-7 Ft) with six rebounds, a steal and a block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Heat.

Tue Dec 16 201418:41Derrick Favors: (Ankle) Out Tuesday
Favors (ankle) will not play Tuesday in New Orleans, the Deseret News' Jody Genessy reports.
Rudy Gobert will get the start at center, and is a borderline must-start in daily leagues. This will be the second game in a row that Favors misses with the ankle injury, and he should be considered day-to-day going forward.

Favors (ankle) went through shootaround Tuesday but remains questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Pelicans, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Favors, who missed Sunday's game, said he feels much better and noted that his status will depend upon how the ankle responds to treatment in the afternoon. Check back for an update prior to Tuesday's 8:00 PM ET tip. If Favors ends up being held out, expect Rudy Gobert to make his second career start.
Mon Dec 15 201415:17Favors (ankle) questionable to play Tuesday in New Orleans
Favors (ankle) is questionable to play Tuesday in New Orleans, Jody Genessy of the Deseret News reports.
A sprained right ankle kept Favors out of Sunday's game against Washington, which allowed Rudy Gobert to make his first NBA start. Favors went through practice Monday, which is an encouraging sign, but a decision on his status likely won't come until Tuesday's shootaround.
Sun Dec 14 201411:39Favors (ankle) out for Sunday's game against Wizards
Favors (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Jody Genness of the Deseret News reports.
X-rays on Favors' ankle came back negative, but he's still been wearing a walking boot recently, though he is expected to return to action during the team's current road trip. In Favors' absence, expect center Rudy Gobert to start in his place.

Favors (ankle) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
A sprained right ankle forced Favors out of Friday's game in the first quarter, and he was spotted wearing a walking boot as he left the arena. It sounds like he still has a chance to suit up for Sunday's tilt, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the team erred on the side of caution and held him out for at least one game. In that case, Rudy Gobert would likely get the start at center for Utah.
Sat Dec 13 201414:34Favors (ankle) traveling with team on its six-game road trip
Favors (ankle) is traveling with the team on its six-game road trip, the Deseret News' Jody Genessy reports.
There is still not official timetable for his return to the court after suffering an ankle sprain Friday. X-rays were negative, but he left the arena in a walking boot, and it would be pretty surprising if he were able to return to the court in the very near future. Continue to monitor his status in the coming days, but it is unlikely that Favors will be usable next week for those in weekly leagues. Rudy Gobert is a must-add in mid-sized leagues while Favors is out.
