Lauri Markkanen Ruled Out Friday Against Timberwolves
20 seconds agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves for injury management on his lower back. The dynamic 27-year-old has been dealing with a plethora of injuries since joining the Jazz, and they tend to lean on the more careful side since they're not competing for the playoffs. If John Collins (back) plays, he should see added opportunities, otherwise, Kenyon Martin Jr. and Brice Sensabaugh should continue seeing starter level minutes. The former posted 16 points, five rebounds, and four assists in their last game against the Sacramento Kings.
