Breaks through with 18 points Forrest notched 18 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 108-104 victory over Denver. Impact Utah was without multiple starters Wednesday, allowing Forrest to enter the starting lineup for the fourth time this season. The second-year guard responded with a team-leading and career-best 18 points in arguably his best game of the campaign. Forrest had compiled double-digit points in only one other game this season, and he completed the strong effort Wednesday with a career-high eight assists. He figures to see extra opportunities with Joe Ingles (knee) out for the campaign, though he is unlikely to see this level of playing time most nights, especially once Donovan Mitchell (concussion) and Jordan Clarkson (knee) return to action.
