Lauri Markkanen Ruled Out Versus OKC
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) won't play on Sunday versus Oklahoma City. The 28-year-old has had an excellent 2025 campaign, averaging 27.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists. However, like some of the other big names around the National Basketball Association, he's not feeling well. With Markkanen out for the first time this season, his next chance to return will be on Friday in Memphis. In the meantime, Kyle Filipowski, averaging 7.8 points, 5.0 boards, and 3.2 assists in six starts, is the favorite to take Markkanen's place in the rotation. While Filipowski's statistical contributions with the first-five aren't the best, there's no reason why he can't be more productive with Markkanen off the floor, even against the top defensive club in the league.
