Logs 19 points in return to action Markkanen recorded 19 points (5-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 115-103 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Markkanen returned from a seven-game absence and was able to log 29 minutes during the loss. The Jazz play a back-to-back on Wednesday, but Markkanen looked very close to 100 percent and should be in the starting lineup if he feels well enough to play. The Jazz desperately need his elite production as they've lost six of seven games during his absence.

Available to play Markkanen (illness) is available to play Tuesday against the Clippers.

Impact Markkanen finally has the green light to return from a seven-game absence. He was reportedly very ill, and the Jazz may ease him back into things with a modest workload Tuesday. With the Jazz treating him with a lot of caution, random maintenance days may be par for the course the rest of the season.

Officially questionable for Tuesday Markkanen (conditioning) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Expected to play Tuesday Markkanen (conditioning) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Markkanen is on the precipice of returning from a seven-game absence with an illness. Either Cody Williams or Svi Mykhailiuk will likely move into the second unit once Markkanen returns to the lineup. The star forward has averaged 28.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 steals in 35.9 minutes per contest in his last 10 games.

Questionable to face Miami Markkanen is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat due to return-to-competition reconditioning.

Impact Markkanen has missed Utah's last six outings due to an illness and reconditioning, though the questionable tag is a step in the right direction for the star forward. If the 28-year-old remains on the shelf Saturday, Kyle Anderson, Kyle Filipowski and Cody Williams would be candidates for increased minutes.

Won't play Thursday Markkanen has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Spurs due to return to competition reconditioning.

Impact Markkanen will miss his sixth straight game on Thursday, but it's worth noting that he's no longer listed as out with an "illness," but rather as "return to competition reconditioning." That could be considered a sign of progress, although it's not great that he continues to get ruled out a day in advance of tip-off. For now, Markkanen should be considered questionable for Saturday's game versus Miami.

Impact Markkanen is slated to miss a fourth consecutive game while battling through an illness, though he could return for the second leg of the Jazz's back-to-back set Tuesday against the Timberwolves. Rookie first-rounder Ace Bailey should remain in the starting lineup for as long as Markkanen is sidelined.
