Lauri Markkanen (ankle) will take the court on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. He was initially listed as questionable on the injury report after Markkanen played 26 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Markkanen is ready to make his fourth consecutive appearance on Monday night, but the team has limited his workload lately. Since missing nine games due to a back issue, Markkanen has averaged only 24.3 minutes across three contests, scoring 15.3 points and grabbing 4.0 rebounds.

Lauri Markkanen (back) will return from a nine-game absence on Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies. Markkanen last saw action on Feb. 22 due to a back issue. The Finnish star has remained Utah's top scorer in 2024-25, although it's been a down year for Markkanen, whose numbers have dropped across the board. He is averaging 19.3 points and 6.1 rebounds in 32.1 minutes. With Markkanen returning,
Brice Sensabaugh and
Cody Williams will probably see reduced playing time.

Lauri Markkanen (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Markkanen is set to miss his sixth game in a row due to a lingering back issue. It's unclear when Markkanen will return to the court with the Jazz out of the playoff race.
Brice Sensabaugh, KJ Martin, and
Kyle Filipowski should all see increased roles with the Jazz banged up. Right now, Filipowski is the best streaming choice between the three after a 25-point performance during his last game.

Lauri Markkanen (back) is not ready to return to the lineup on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. He will skip a fifth consecutive contest as the Finnish star continues to manage a lower back injury. Markkanen's continued absence should result in another start for
Brice Sensabaugh, who led the Jazz starters with 21 points in Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. The 21-year-old has averaged 14.8 points and 3.0 rebounds as a first-unit member this season.
