Utah Jazz point guard Raul Neto fractured his left wrist during Sunday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans, the team announced Monday.
He will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
The injury isn't on Neto's dominant wrist, which may allow him to return sooner than if the opposite were true. In the meantime, the Jazz don't have much in the way of backup point play behind Ricky Rubio. They can rejig their rotations and employ Donovan Mitchell or even Joe Ingles as de facto one-guards, but they'll miss Neto's craftiness and spot-up shooting.
Neto is averaging 4.6 points and 1.8 assists while shooting 45.6 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from 3-point range. The Jazz have been 9.5 points per 100 possessions better with him on the floor.
