Utah Jazz See New Update Emerge for Lauri Markkanen Injury What's the latest on Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen after his recent injury in practice?

FEBRUARY 27 • SI.COM

Jazz Star Lauri Markkanen Out Two Weeks With Hip, Ankle Injuries Suffered in Practice Jazz star Lauri Markkanen injured his hip and ankle in Utah practice on Wednesday.

FEBRUARY 27 • SI.COM

To be re-evaluated in two weeks Utah will re-evaluate Markkanen in two weeks after Thursday's MRI showed symptomatic hip impingement with associated inflammation and bone bruise, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Markkanen suffered the injury during Wednesday's practice, and he's now set to miss at least two weeks while on the mend. John Konchar, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski should all see more chances to produce in Markkanen's absence.

Listed out for Thursday Markkanen (ankle/hip) is listed out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Fantasy managers likely saw this designation coming based on how Utah has handled Markkanen in the past. With Markkanen sidelined, there will be more opportunities for guys like John Konchar, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski.

Utah Jazz, Lauri Markkanen, & Fantasy Basketball Face Injury Skepticism from the NBA The Utah Jazz have been flagged by the NBA multiple times for blatant tanking, thus raising questions about Lauri Markkanen's injury status.

FEBRUARY 26 • SI.COM

Deemed questionable for Thursday Markkanen (ankle/hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Markkanen sprained his right ankle and sustained a right hip impingement during Wednesday's practice. He underwent an MRi shortly after, and his questionable designation likely means he avoided serious injury. Still, it wouldn't be surprising for Markannen to need a game or two off to recover.

Suffers ankle/hip injury Wednesday Markkanen is scheduled to undergo an MRI after suffering a right ankle and right hip injury at Wednesday's practice, The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact The Jazz take on the Pelicans on Thursday, so for now, Markkanen should be considered doubtful for that one, and it wouldn't be surprising to see this turn into a multi-game absence for the Utah star. If Markkanen needs to miss time, that would open up minutes for John Konchar, Brice Sensabaugh and Kevin Love.

Hits for team-high 29 in return Markkanen finished with 29 points (10-23 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 125-105 loss to the Rockets.

Impact After missing the prior two games due to an illness, Markkanen was back on the court and led the Jazz in scoring on the night. The 29 points represented his best offensive performance since Jan. 8, when he dropped 33 points on the Mavericks. Markkanen's minutes could be erratic the rest of the season as a tanking Utah team pushes the envelope on what the league considers acceptable load management, and Monday's showing from three-point range suggests the 28-year-old forward may not be quite 100 percent yet.
