Utah Jazz forward Georges Niang's injured left foot will be reevaluated in two weeks, the team said Saturday.

Niang, 32, sustained a stress reaction in the fourth metatarsal during offseason training and conditioning.

Acquired in an Aug. 6 trade with the Boston Celtics, Niang previously played for the Jazz from 2018-21.

Niang averaged 9.9 points and 3.4 rebounds in 79 games (three starts) last season with Cleveland and Atlanta.

He has career averages of 7.4 points and 2.5 boards and is a 39.9 percent 3-point shooter in 544 games (32 starts) with the Indiana Pacers, Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, Cavaliers and Hawks.

The Jazz open the regular season at home against the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 22.
