3 years agoUtah Jazz power forward Royce O'Neale (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Oklahoma City due to a sore right thumb. O'Neale will join teammates Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Mike Conley (rest) on the sidelines, paving the way for Rudy Gay, Eric Paschall, and Danuel House Jr. to all enjoy elevated roles on the wing. Known for his defensive acumen, O'Neale has been a scarce fantasy contributor, particularly while shooting 23.9% over his last eight games. The ailment marks O'Neale's first absence since Jan. 24, with his next chance to suit up coming Friday vs. the Suns.--Jesse Borek
