Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Doubtful for Saturday
Markkanen (groin) is doubtful to play Saturday versus the Magic.
It appears Saturday will mark Markkanen's second straight game on the sidelines, which should again result in Keyonte George and Ace Bailey dominating the offense. Check back for official word on Markkanen's status closer to Saturday's tipoff at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Won't play Thursday
Markkanen (groin) will not play Thursday against the Lakers.
The writing was on the wall when the Jazz listed Markkanen as questionable for right groin injury management. This is simply a maintenance day for Markkanen, something he experienced often during the 2024-25 season. Presumably, he will be back in the lineup for Saturday's game against Orlando. In the meantime, guys like Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Filipowski, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Anderson could pick up some run for the Jazz.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Labeled as questionable
Markkanen is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to right groin injury management, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Markkanen is at risk of resting Thursday. If he were to miss the contest, Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Anderson would likely see more playing time. Markkanen has scored 26 or more points in four of his last five games, averaging 27.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 steals across 34.8 minutes during that span.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Dominant effort against Mavs
Markkanen notched 33 points (11-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 140-133 overtime victory over Dallas.
While his 33 points were only third on the night behind Cooper Flagg (42) and Keyonte George (37), Markkanen led all players in rebounding, and his four steals were as much as the entire Mavericks starting lineup put together. It was only Markkanen's second double-double of the season, with the other being a 51-point, 14-board eruption against the Suns on Oct. 27. He's scored at least 30 points in six of his last 14 games, averaging 27.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.7 threes, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals during that span.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Scores 26 points in return
Markkanen finished with 26 points (9-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 130-126 victory over the Grizzlies.
Markkanen missed the blowout loss to the Thunder on Dec. 7 due to an illness, but he didn't have any limitations in this win, putting up a solid scoring line and ending just one board shy of a double-double. Markkanen has scored at least 26 points in four of his last five outings, averaging 24.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in that span.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Cleared for action
Markkanen (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Markkanen missed his first game of the season Sunday due to an illness, but he's been given the green light to return for Friday's tilt. The Arizona product is off to a solid start to December, averaging 25.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his first three appearances.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Ruled out for Sunday
Markkanen (illness) won't play Sunday against the Thunder.
An illness will force Markkanen to miss his first game of the season Sunday, but with Utah's next game not coming until Friday in Memphis, Markkanen will have plenty of time to rest up. With the Jazz's star unavailable Sunday evening, Keyonte George and Ace Bailey should see a sizeable uptick in usage, and there will be more minutes available for Kevin Love, Kyle Filipowski and Kyle Anderson.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Added to injury report
Markkanen (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Markkanen is a late addition to the injury report and is at risk of missing his first game of the season due to an illness. If the 28-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Kyle Filipowski, Kyle Anderson and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates for increased playing time, while Taylor Hendricks could enter the rotation.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Scores 18 points in blowout loss
Markkanen finished with 18 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Friday's 146-112 blowout loss to the Knicks.
Markkanen struggled with his shot in this one, and with the Jazz getting blown out, he took a seat on the bench late in the third quarter and did not return to the game for the fourth quarter. Markkanen could have a tough time bouncing back Sunday, with a difficult matchup against the Thunder.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Game-high 30 points Thursday
Markkanen tallied 30 points (11-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 35 minutes during Utah's 123-110 win over Brooklyn on Thursday.
Markkanen helped Utah close things out with 10 fourth-quarter points, and his performance Thursday marked the ninth time this season that the veteran forward has scored 30-plus points in a game. He is off to a terrific start to the 2025-26 regular season, averaging a career-high 28.1 points along with 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 3.0 threes and 0.9 steals over 35.5 minutes per game. Markkanen will look to carry his momentum into the second leg of the Jazz's back-to-back set Friday against the Knicks.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Leads offensive attack
Markkanen notched 29 points (9-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), eight rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 133-125 victory over the Rockets.
Markkanen paced the Jazz on the offensive end by pouring in 29 points, his best effort since Nov. 18. He also posted a solid night on the boards, but as has been the trend lately, he didn't make much of an impact defensively. Markkanen has been held without a block or steal in four straight appearances.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Manages 18 points in loss
Markkanen contributed 18 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-101 loss to the Rockets.
It's the third time in the last five games that Markkanen has failed to score at least 20 points. The 28-year-old forward puts a productive November in the books, having averaged 25.9 points, 6.1 boards, 2.9 threes, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals over 14 contests.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Nets 28 points on 23 shots
Markkanen provided 28 points (9-23 FG, 2-13 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 39 minutes during Friday's 128-119 win over the Kings.
This was the second game in a row that Markkanen failed to deliver any defensive statistics and his second straight game shooting under 40 percent from the field. He's gone 15-for-42 from the floor over this two-game stretch, and he could have a tough time snapping out of this funk Sunday with a difficult matchup against Houston.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Pops for 20 against Lakers
Markkanen ended Sunday's 108-106 loss to the Lakers with 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes.
The veteran forward has been locked in over the last couple of weeks. Markkanen has drained multiple three-pointers in seven straight games, averaging 30.4 points, 6.1 boards, 4.0 threes, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals during that stretch while shooting 52.1 percent from the floor, 44.4 percent from beyond the arc and 90.7 percent from the charity stripe. Trade rumors are still swirling around Markkanen, and his current level of performance isn't going to make the price tag any cheaper if the Jazz do elect to finally move him.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Excels with 31 points in loss
Markkanen totaled 31 points (12-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 140-126 loss to the Lakers.
Although difficult to believe, Markkanen's 31-point night marked his worst scoring performance over the past four games. He racked up point totals of 35, 40 and 47 points prior to Tuesday's game, signifying one of the best scoring streaks of the month in the NBA. Along with the four-game average of 38.3 points, he's averaged 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals over the same period.
