Lauri Markkanen Could Return Tuesday Against Atlanta
18 hours agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) missed Sunday's win with back spasms, but he is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game in Salt Lake City when the Jazz take on the Hawks. Markkanen has been a key contributor when available for Utah but has been limited to 28 games. When available, he has produced 19.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. If Markkanen is available, he could get a heavy workload since Jordan Clarkson (foot), Keyonte George (heel), and John Collins (personal) are all out. If Markkanen joins them on the sideline, there will be even more usage available for the young Jazz players like Isaiah Collier, Brice Sensabaugh, and Kyle Filipowski, while Collin Sexton and Svi Mykhailiuk also help carry the load
