PF Trevor Booker was listed as questionable Saturday because of a viral infection. Trey Lyles started instead of Booker, who was in the starting lineup Thursday after C Rudy Gobert sprained his left knee.

F Trevor Booker started at the power forward position and Derrick Favors shifted to center with C Rudy Gobert out indefinitely due to a knee injury. Favors scored 12 points with 10 rebounds, but Booker only had two points and two rebounds in 15 minutes as the Jazz played a smaller lineup featuring more athletic wings most of the night.

F Trevor Booker had 13 points and nine rebounds, and the Jazz beat the Denver Nuggets 96-84 Thursday night.

PF Trevor Booker served his one-game league suspension for striking Lakers C Roy Hibbert during a preseason game.

Booker has been suspended for the first game of the regular season after taking a swing at Roy Hibbert during Tuesday's preseason game, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports reports.

Booker set a hard screen on Hibbert, causing Hibbert to confront Booker after the play. Booker then took an open handed swing at the center, before being restrained and ejected. With Booker set to miss the first game of the season, look for rookie Trey Lyles to take the majority of the back-up minutes behind starting power forward, Derrick Favors.

Booker (nose) missed all three of his shot attempts in Tuesday's preseason win over the Lakers, but brought down three rebounds and dished out two assists.

Booker required surgery on his nose in mid-September after suffering an injury in a pickup game, but it hasn't resulted in any missed time during camp. Though he was deployed in the starting lineup at power forward Tuesday, it was only because Derrick Favors was receiving the night off to tend to a minor injury. Expect Booker and rookie first-rounder Trey Lyles to jockey for minutes off the bench as Favors' top backup.

Booker underwent successful surgery for a broken nose Thursday, Jazz's beat writer Jody Genessy reports.

Booker unfortunately suffered the fractured nose during a recent pickup game. He went ahead and had surgery to repair it Thursday, and all reports indicate he'll be ready to go for the start of training camp. Booker should enter training camp behind incumbent starter Derrick Favors at power forward.

Booker had the final year of his contract fully guaranteed by the Jazz, the Desert News reports.

The Jazz could have waived Booker by July 15th and saved close to $4.5 million in cap space this season. He will compete with rookie Trey Lyles for reserve frontcourt minutes, as well as the newly signed Tibor Pleiss. Booker averaged 7.2 points and 5.0 rebounds per game last year, and his fantasy value is limited as a backup to Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert.

Booker finished up his first season in Utah after appearing in 79 games at an average of 19.8 minutes per contest.

Booker played a vital role off the bench over the course of the season but never saw significant time on the court, leaving the 27-year-old with minimal value in standard-sized leagues. He'll head into the offseason awaiting Utah's decision on whether or not to pick up his contract for 2015-16. If he does in fact rejoin the Jazz, he's in line to have a similar role on the team yet again as he slots in behind Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors.

Booker scored 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) with 12 rebounds, three blocks and two assists in 30 minutes during Monday's win over the Mavericks.

Coming off a 36-point, nine-board performance on Saturday, Booker's finishing off the regular season in style. With Gordon Hayward (Achilles) already ruled out for Wednesday's regular season finale against the Rockets, Booker should be line for another productive game.

Booker scored a career-high 36 points (12-15 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 8-14 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block in 36 minutes.

With Derrick Favors and Gordon Hayward off the court to rest, Booker apparently had the green light to put up a team-high 15 shots against Portland. There are two games left on the schedule and it would probably be a bit optimistic to think that the 27-year-old will be able to duplicate this performance again, especially when Favors returns to the court.

Booker scored 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with 13 rebounds and two blocks in 33 minutes during Monday's win over the Timberwolves.

The undermanned 'Wolves didn't put up much of a fight in the frontcourt, and Booker was able to take advantage. With Derrick Favors (back) possibly close to a return to the lineup though, Booker may not get a chance to repeat the performance.

Booker started in place of the injured Derrick Favors (back) Saturday, scoring 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT) with three rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes.

Booker has played well in his first big man off the bench role, but not well enough to warrant an addition in standard leagues, but if Favors remains out, we may see some decent performances from Booker moving forward. Booker has started just one other time this season, finishing with six points and nine rebounds in 33 minutes.

Booker is starting at power forward Saturday with Derrick Favors (back spasms) out.

Booker has only started one other game this season and put up six points, nine rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 33 minutes. While he's an interesting streaming option in deeper leagues as long as Favors is out.

Booker logged 19 minutes of action during Monday's game against the Hornets, registering just six rebounds in the box score when the final buzzer sounded.

Booker is firmly within Utah's rotation but doesn't quite see enough playing time to compile worthwhile stats in standard leagues. This trend is expected to continue through the end of the season unless unexpected injuries plague the Jazzmen.

Booker scored 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) with 10 rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes off the bench Wednesday.

It's his first double-double of the season. Booker's court time has ticked up since Enes Kanter was sent to Oklahoma City, but as of yet the handful of extra minutes haven't translated into a big increase in his fantasy value.

Booker may be in store for a slight bump in playing time after the departure of Enes Kanter from Utah.

Booker is averaging 18.1 minutes on the court this season in his role off the bench. Rudy Gobert is expected to take over the starting spot previously filled by Kanter, which makes Booker the primary frontcourt option off the bench for coach Quin Snyder in the latter stretch of the season.
