Description: Utah center Enes Kanter (shoulder) will miss the rest of the season, according to the Deseret News.
Insight: Kanter will undergo a minor surgical procedure on his left shoulder. He dislocated the shoulder on March 27 against Phoenix. The 20-year-old could be a starter next season next to Derrick Favors if the Jazz let both Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap leave via free agency.

Description: Utah center Enes Kanter has been diagnosed with a dislocated left shoulder.
Insight: This injury will probably sideline Kanter for the rest of the season. Look for Derrick Favors to (9.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg) see time at center while Kanter is out.

Description: Jazz center Enes Kanter (shoulder) will miss Friday's game against Portland. He suffered the injury Wednesday.
Insight: Kanter flirted with fantasy relevance earlier this month when Utah big men Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson were both dealing with injuries but he only averaged 15 mpg in the six games prior to Wednesday.

Description: Jazz center Enes Kanter left Wednesday's game with an injured left shoulder and will not return.
Insight: Kanter flirted with fantasy relevance earlier this month when Utah big men Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson were both dealing with injuries but he only averaged 15 mpg over his previous six games.

Description: Utah backup center Enes Kanter has exploded while starter Al Jefferson has been sidelined, averaging 20.5 ppg and 16 rpg over the past two games.
Insight: Kanter's performance is the reason the Jazz were looking to trade Jefferson and/or PF Paul Millsap at the deadline. Those in keeper league should stash Kanter on their bench if he's still a free agent.

Description: Utah center Enes Kanter will be in the lineup Monday against Dallas. Kanter had missed the team's last two games with a sprained ankle.
Insight: Kanter's return is noteworthy because it means fewer minutes for Derrick Favors. Kanter (6.7 ppg, 4.3 rpg) is a good young player but he's not someone you'd want to start in a fantasy league.

Insight: Kanter is coming off a 15-point, eight-rebound game against the Timberwolves but has only averaged 6.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in 15 minutes per game this season. Derrick Favors could pick up more minutes as a result of Kanter's absence.

Description: After Jazz F/C Derrick Favors exited with a foot sprain, Enes Kanter stepped in with 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting with seven rebounds Friday against the Thunder.
Insight: It was the first time all season Kanter has attempted double-digit shots. He would be the primary beneficiary if Favors had to miss time.
