The Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets are set to tip off for their final of four meetings for the 2025-26 season to kick off the month of April, but it won't be a game without a few notable injuries to keep an eye on.

And as it pertains to the Jazz, they'll at least have seven names out of the mix, with one new entry onto the injury report leading up to tip-off.

Here's what to expect from both the Jazz and Nuggets' injury reports rolling into Wednesday night:

Utah Jazz Injury Report

QUESTIONABLE - Elijah Harkless (hamstring)

OUT - Isaiah Collier (hamstring)

OUT - Keyonte George (hamstring)

OUT - Blake Hinson (2-way)

OUT - Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee)

OUT - Walker Kessler (shoulder)

OUT - Lauri Markkanen (hip)

OUT - Jusuf Nurkic (nose)

The newest name in the injury mix to keep an eye on for the Jazz is none other than their two-way signee, Elijah Harkless, who is listed as questionable leading up to tip-off with a hamstring injury, and could leave Utah's backcourt even more depleted from the state it was already in.

The Jazz will already be without Keyonte George and Isaiah Collier for another game due to their respective injuries, and now Harkless appears to be the latest guard to catch the hamstring bug. His status will become clearer to gametime, but being without him would mean a shake-up to Will Hardy's rotation, and a bit of a step back in terms of Utah's defensive prowess on the perimeter.

That could inevitably lead Kennedy Chandler to start once again as the Jazz's point guard, who made his first career start in Utah's latest game against the Cleveland Cavaliers for 12 points, four rebounds, and five assists.

Utah will also be without the usual suspects like Lauri Markkanen and their multiple season-ending injury losses. That means you can expect another night of the young core like Ace Bailey, Cody Williams, and Kyle Filipowski having a large chunk of opportunity against one of the top talents in the Western Conference.

Denver Nuggets Injury Report

PROBABLE - Aaron Gordon (calf)

OUT - Spencer Jones (hamstring)

OUT - Zeke Nnaji (hip)

The Nuggets will be dealing with their share of injury troubles as well. In particular, they'll be without two names in the frontcourt off the bench in Spencer Jones and Zeke Nnaji, both of whom went down with an injury in Denver's latest game against the Golden State Warriors.

Aaron Gordon, who missed that same game against the Warriors with a calf injury, appears to be trending in the right direction to play against the Jazz. If he does, it would at least leave Denver's usual starting five to be healthy and ready to go, and thus make for a pretty steep climb for Utah to put together an upset.

Tip-off between the Jazz and Nuggets lands at 8 p.m. MT, where Denver will have a chance to extend their win streak to six games, while Utah will be eyeing their seventh loss in a row on their own streak.
