John Lucas is expected to be back for the second year of his deal with the Jazz.

The Jazz could wind up trading him, but if not he has a non-guaranteed deal until January. Lucas drew six starts last season with Trey Burke out due to injury, but didn't play well with his 27.9 percent from the field in those outings. He has no fantasy value.

John Lucas III (right ankle sprain) played three minutes in his return on Sunday, scoring one point at the free throw line.

Needless to say, Lucas shouldn't be on any fantasy rosters as long as starting PG Trey Burke and primary backup Diante Garrett are both healthy.

John Lucas (ankle) went through shootaround on Sunday, and said he's ready to play if called upon.

Lucas is nothing more than a backup, and he is averaging 4.1 points and essentially nothing else on the season. Leave him on the wire.

John Lucas III (ankle) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game vs. the Spurs.

He is out of his walking boot and has a shot to be active. Lucas is out of the rotation anyway, so he can be ignored everywhere with respect to fantasy leagues.

John Lucas III (ankle) will not play against the Clippers on Friday.

He is out of his walking boot and should make it back in the near future. Still, Lucas has no fantasy value with Trey Burke healthy, Diante Garrett playing well and Alec Burks also handling the ball more.

John Lucas III (ankle) will not play against the Mavericks on Wednesday.

He is in a walking boot and could miss more time. Lucas has fallen to third on the point-guard depth chart and has no fantasy value.

John Lucas sprained his ankle during Tuesday's practice and will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.

Lucas' availability vs. the Mavs shouldn't have any impact on fantasy lineups. He's played five minutes in the past five games combined, and is shooting just 33.7 percent on the season.

John Lucas did not leave Utah's bench during Sunday's loss to the Pacers.

Lucas sat out Friday's shootaround with a stomach ailment but his absence on Sunday was more in line with a DNP-CD. He's played a total of nine minutes in Utah's past nine games.

John Lucas (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavs.

Per the Jazz, Lucas is dealing with "gastric distress." He was likely to be a DNP-CD anyway.

John Lucas returned to action on Friday February 7.

John Lucas (back) is a game-time decision to face the Warriors on Friday.

He has a lower back strain from his 21 minutes of action on Monday. Lucas won't have fantasy value in almost any league unless Trey Burke (illness) can't go.

John Lucas missed all seven of his field goal attempts on Wednesday, finishing with one point, one board, no assists and two turnovers in 15 minutes.

He lost his playing time to Diante Garrett tonight, which is pretty much all you need to know about his outlook until Trey Burke is out. Lucas is one the least valuable starting point guard in fantasy right now.

John Lucas will start at point guard in Monday night's game against the Nuggets.

He wasn't the starter, but was basically getting starters' minutes at 27.4 per game. Lucas has done a decent job running the offense, but coach Ty Corbin will stick him with the first unit a little more than he's been doing. This isn't much of a bump to his low fantasy value.

John Lucas started at point guard for the Jazz on Friday, hitting just 2-of-10 shots for five points with just one assist to his stat line in 31 minutes.

Ouch. Even when he's getting the minutes he's no lock to produce, and unless you're in a deeper format there's not a whole lot to see here. Backup Jamaal Tinsley played 17 minutes and had four points, three rebounds, three assists and a steal.

John Lucas played 37 minutes against the Thunder on Wednesday, shooting 2-of-7 from the field for eight points with one board, five assists and two 3-pointers.

Jamaal Tinsley played just eight minutes off the bench, so the starting point guard job clearly looks like it's Lucas' to lose. Although, Trey Burke was out of his splint today, so JL3 might not be keeping his job for too long.

John Lucas III is listed as the probable starting PG for Utah on Wednesday.

The lineup is a placeholder and Tyrone Corbin can change it prior to tip-off, but it seems Lucas has edged out Jamaal Tinsley for the starting job. Lucas had a forgettable preseason but he's worth a look for a handful of 3-pointers and assists until Trey Burke (finger) returns.

The Jazz haven't decided whether to start John Lucas III or Jamaal Tinsley at point guard for Wednesday's opener.

Tinsley just signed with the Jazz on October 26th, but Lucas apparently opened the door for Tinsley to usurp him with a relatively ineffective preseason. Neither player is a great option in anything but deeper leagues, but a point guard getting starter's minutes is still worth keeping on your radar.

John Lucas will make another start at point guard on Wednesday.

He hasn't looked like a starter and had a couple ugly bricks against the Lakers on Tuesday. This preseason, Lucas is shooting just 35.5 percent from the field and has only 2.4 assists per game in 20.8 minutes. He'll join Gordon Hayward, Richard Jefferson, Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter in the starting lineup. Lucas could win the starting job, so he's on the radar in very deep leagues. Alec Burks didn't look bad in the point-guard role on Tuesday and will likely get some more opportunities to run the offense again.

John Lucas hit 3-of-9 shots and a 3-pointer for eight points, one rebound, two assists and a steal as the starting point guard.

Lucas hasn't exactly torn it up in the preseason but is the starting point guard because of Trey Burke's broken finger. Lucas should be one of the last point guards taken in fantasy drafts.

Trey Burke's fractured index finger may prompt the Jazz to "revisit" previous trade interest in Bulls' PG Marquis Teague, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

John Lucas III is capable of starting at PG temporarily, but one way or another Utah needs to add another ball-handler to the roster. The Bulls have Kirk Hinrich and Teague as depth behind Derrick Rose, and it's unclear if they'd have any interest in a trade with the rebuilding Jazz.
