Lauri Markkanen Latest News
Out for FIBA Qualifying Tournament
Markkanen (shoulder) will not play for Finland during the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in July, Evan Sidery of Forbes Sports reports. Markkanen is still rehabbing a right shoulder injury which forced him out of Utah's last nine games. The 27-year-old will not rush his recovery to play in the qualifier, as he is expected to return to on-court activities in August. Markkanen played in 55 games for the Jazz last season, averaging 23.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 48.0 percent from the field.
Re-evaluated in two weeks
Markkanen (shoulder) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Markkanen continues to experience discomfort, and an MRI confirmed that he aggravated his previous right shoulder impingement. With just a little over two weeks remaining in the season, it's very possible that his regular season is over. At best, he could return for the finale on April 14, but there won't be much incentive to rush him back. Guys like Taylor Hendricks, Brice Sensabaugh and Johnny Juzang could see a bump in playing time with this news.
Will not play versus Rockets
Markkanen (shoulder) will not play in Friday's matchup with the Rockets. Markkanen popped up as questionable on Utah's injury report with a shoulder injury Thursday. It looks like Utah will ultimately err on the side of caution with its star forward. In his absence, Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh will presumably see extended roles. Markkanen's next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Kings.
Questionable for Friday
Markkanen is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets due to right shoulder soreness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. This is the first we're hearing of a shoulder injury for Markkanen, but we'll have a better idea of his status for Friday night based on his activity level at shootaround. If he is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Johnny Juzang (back) and Brice Sensabaugh.
Massive workload in loss
Markkanen ended Wednesday's 118-111 loss to the Spurs with 25 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 42 minutes. Markkanen's team-high 42 minutes marked his second-most playing time in a game this season. This is encouraging, considering the 26-year-old forward has missed eight of Utah's last 12 contests. Since the beginning of 2024, Markkanen has been shooting 42.0 percent on 7.7 three-point attempts per game.
Cleared to play vs. San Antonio
Markkanen (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs. Markkanen was questionable for Wednesday's matchup due to a right quadriceps contusion, but he'll be able to suit up for the fifth time this month. He's been productive when on the court recently, averaging 25.7 points and 7.3 rebounds in 33.7 minutes per game over his last three appearances. It seems as though he'll be able to handle a sizable workload Wednesday despite his recent absences.
Questionable for Wednesday
Markkanen is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Spurs with a right quadriceps contusion, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports. Markkanen has played in just four out of 12 games in March to this point, and the Jazz have been very cautious with the forward during the second half of the season. If Markkanen is unable to play, players such as Brice Sensabaugh, Taylor Hendricks and Luka Samanic could see more action.
Leads all scorers in loss
Markkanen notched 34 points (10-19 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 115-105 loss to the Mavericks. Markkanen scored a game-high 34 points Monday, once again returning from an ongoing quad issue. While managers have to be thrilled with this performance, they should also prepare for what could be another missed game Wednesday against the Spurs. The Jazz have basically thrown in the towel at this point, meaning Markkanen could miss more games than he plays down the stretch.
Cleared to play Monday
Markkanen (quadriceps) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks. Markkanen will suit up for just the third time since March 2 as he continues to deal with a right quad contusion. Over his last two appearances, he's totaled 43 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, four steals and a block in 67 minutes.
