The Utah Jazz confirmed on November 11 local time that Lauri Markkanen has two nondisplaced fractures in his right hand and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. He sustained the injury against the Dallas Mavericks on November 6, with the diagnosis established after further assessment.
Eight appearances this season
Markkanen has played eight games this season, averaging 18.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 39.7% from three-point range. His absence removes a frontcourt perimeter-shooting option, with future availability to be decided as his recovery develops.
