Lauri Markkanen Could Miss First Game Of The Season
1 year agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) could be out for the first time this season on Saturday against New Orleans, as the team has listed him as questionable for the game. The Finnish star has hurt his left hamstring, and his absence would leave the Jazz without their top scorer. Markkanen has averaged close to 24 points per game in 34.1 minutes with 8.7 rebounds. Kelly Olynyk figures to see a larger role if Markkanen can't go, although the Jazz could also have Walker Kessler (elbow) back in the selection, with the big man earning a questionable tag after sitting out seven games.
