Markkanen (back) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Suns.
After missing Wednesday's win against the Warriors, Markkanen will play Friday on the road in Phoenix. The 27-year-old forward has seen his numbers dip slightly this season with the Jazz.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Double-doubles vs. Orlando
Markkanen amassed 12 points (4-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 victory over the Magic.
All four of Markkanen's made field goals Saturday came from three-point range, and he finished as the Jazz's second leading rebounder behind Walker Kessler (15). It was Markkanen's first double-double since Jan. 1 against the Knicks, and while he has failed to score 20 points in each of his last five outings, he is still recovering from back spasms that forced him to miss four games in January. He'll look to make a bigger scoring impact against the Pacers on Monday.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Ruled out Tuesday
Markkanen won't play Tuesday against the Warriors due to low back injury management.
Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the Jazz will be holding out Markkanen and several other key contributors. Markkanen played 36 minutes in Monday's 125-110 loss to the Bucks, finishing with 19 points (8-18 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist. With Markkanen, John Collins (illness) and Walker Kessler (shoulder) among the players sitting out Tuesday, plenty of minutes should be up for grabs in the frontcourt for the likes of Drew Eubanks, Kyle Filipowski, Micah Potter and Oscar Tshiebwe.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Comes close to double-double
Markkanen ended Monday's 125-110 loss to the Bucks with 19 points (8-18 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 36 minutes.
Markkanen had a rough shooting performance from three-point range after missing 10 of his 12 attempts, but he still posted a decent stat line while ending just one rebound shy of a double-double. The struggles of the team have clearly impacted Markkanen, but all things considered, he remains the lone Utah player who's worth trusting on a game-to-game basis regardless of the format.

Markkanen posted 17 points (7-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six rebounds and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 loss to the Thunder.
Markkanen was one of five players for Utah who recorded at least 15 points in the loss, though he struggled from the field in his return from a four-game absence due to a back injury. The star forward is on pace for his least productive season as a member of the Jazz, and he is averaging 20.0 points while shooting only 42.7 percent from the floor across 31.7 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Another absence coming
Markkanen (back) is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Markkanen will miss a fourth straight game with a nagging back problem, and the star forward doesn't have a clear timetable for his return. Not having him represents a huge blow for a Jazz team that's also missing John Collins (hip) and Jordan Clarkson (foot), among other players. Markkanen's next chance to play will come against the Thunder on Wednesday.

Markkanen will miss the second leg of the Jazz's back-to-back set Sunday due to back spasms, though he should be able to return for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Questionable Sunday
Markkanen is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets due to low back spasms.
Markkanen is in jeopardy of missing the second leg of the club's back-to-back set after he contributed 24 points (7-18 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Suns. With Markkanen and Kyle Filipowski (ankle) at risk of joining John Collins (hip) and Walker Kessler (rest) on the sideline, Micah Potter and Cody Williams are candidates for increased roles.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Paces Utah with 24 points in loss
Markkanen ended with a team-high 24 points (7-18 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 loss to the Suns.
Markkanen paced the injury-riddled Jazz with 24 points Saturday, but he didn't make as much of an impact in the other areas of the box score. Although Markkanen is shooting just 39.9 percent from the floor across his last 11 appearances, the 27-year-old star forward is averaging a healthy 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds. 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.9 threes during this interval. Markkanen's usage has surged amid the absences of Keyonte George (heel), Jordan Clarkson (foot) and John Collins (hip), which would figure to continue aiding his productivity while hurting his shooting efficiency until Utah gets healthier.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Shoots poorly Thursday
Markkanen notched 23 points (8-24 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 30 minutes during Thursday's 97-92 loss to the Heat.
Markkanen couldn't repeat the 35-point effort he delivered in the loss to the Hawks on Tuesday, and his shooting numbers were quite poor from an efficiency perspective. The star forward has scored at least 15 points in 12 games in a row, averaging 22.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in that span.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Ties season-high scoring mark
Markkanen registered 35 points (11-21 FG, 8-15 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Hawks.
Markkanen matched his best scoring output of the season and reached the 30-point mark for the third time in 2024-25, though it's the first time he'd done it since late November. He also bounced back from a rather subpar stretch, as he had failed to score 20 or more points in his previous three outings while shooting a meager 35.4 percent from the floor in that span. Markkanen remains Utah's go-to player on offense despite the recent woes. He should continue to be a sought-after player on offense, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry about his recent drop in production.
