Lauri Markkanen Sits Out Second Consecutive Game
9 months agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) won't have a reunion with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, as he has been ruled out for the game. The 2023 All-Star, who started his NBA career in Chicago, will miss a second consecutive contest. Markkanen's absence on Monday versus Washington gave Luka Samanic his first start of the season. The 24-year-old couldn't take advantage of the opportunity, finishing with five points and two rebounds in 23 minutes. Trigger-happy guards Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson get extra shots without Markkanen. And with Taylor Hendricks (toe) and Walker Kessler (foot) also absent from the Jazz frontcourt, Brice Sensabaugh and Omer Yurtseven have a chance to grab extra shifts.
