Snyder missed a week before returning to practice Sunday. The Jazz went 2-1 in his absence, with assistant coach Alex Jensen stepping forward in his place.

Utah lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves last Sunday before notching back-to-back victories against the Denver Nuggets and Brooklyn Nets.

"Our whole staff, Alex in particular, just did a terrific job," Snyder said. "Sometimes there are silver linings and it was a good opportunity for our staff to have the realization of how prepared they are. I probably knew that better than they did."

Daniel House also was cleared from health and safety protocol and participated in Sunday's practice. The 28-year-old Texas A&M product is averaging 8.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in seven games (one start) with Utah this season.
