Kyle Anderson has the weirdest game log in the NBA of late.
On New Year's Day, Anderson had a fantastic game for the Utah Jazz. He hasn't played since.
First, let's revisit those stats from Jan. 1 against the Clippers:
- 22 points
- 8 rebounds
- 1 assist
- 2 steals
- 2 blocks

The Jazz have played four games since then. Anderson hasn't played in any.
He had also sat out seven in a row before that outburst in 32 minutes against L.A.

When at full health, the Jazz do have a lot of options for playing time, including young players who they want to develop.
It is ironic to see such a good performance and not see even a bit of a reward of a chunk of playing time off the bench once in a while.
They call Anderson Slow-Mo, but right now, it's more like No-Mo.
Maybe the Jazz will give him another chance. And maybe he'll do well with it again.
But for now, Anderson can only watch.
