Lauri Markkanen News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Iffy for Thursday Markkanen is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers with a left knee contusion.

Impact This appears to be a new injury for Markkanen after he previously battled a right groin issue. In his most recent outing, he finished with 22 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes against the Celtics on Tuesday. If he can't play Thursday, there will be more minutes available for Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Filipowski.

Nears double-double in defeat Markkanen had 22 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 129-119 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Markkanen didn't deliver his most efficient performance, though he still finished as Utah's third-leading scorer. The star forward was active on the glass Tuesday and grabbed a game-high nine rebounds, a mark he has reached in three of his last six appearances. During that stretch, he has averaged 27.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Sails for 30 points Markkanen ended with 30 points (8-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 131-129 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Markkanen's production was essential in producing the upset against Detroit, as the two-man wrecking crew of Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic was incredibly effective in the frontcourt. While Cade Cunningham finished with a solid total, the rest of the starting lineup was stymied thanks to an excellent defensive effort, and Markkanen was the spearhead of that cause.

Not listed on injury report Markkanen (groin) isn't listed on Utah's injury report for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Impact After resting the second leg of a back-to-back set Tuesday versus Memphis, Markkanen is on track to suit up Friday, along with Jusuf Nurkic (rest). Markkanen has missed four of Utah's past seven games to manage his workload, but he's been productive when available, averaging 27.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 35.0 minutes per game across six December appearances.

Won't play Tuesday Markkanen (groin) won't play Tuesday against the Grizzlies.

Impact Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Markkanen is being held out for right groin injury management. In other words, he's being held out for rest. This was a common occurrence in 2024-25, and it's a reason for his fantasy managers to be nervous.

Questionable for Monday Markkanen (groin) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Markkanen has missed the past two games for Utah, but he remains day-to-day. Monday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so it's possible Markkanen may miss one of these for maintenance reasons.
