Lauri Markkanen Remains Out On Saturday
1 year agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) will miss a fifth consecutive game Saturday versus Portland. He's recovering from a hamstring strain, and muscle injuries are notoriously tricky to overcome, so it's not fully clear when the Finnish forward will be ready for action again. Simone Fontecchio has broken into the starting unit following Markkanen's injury and should continue to benefit from the situation on Saturday. He's posted 13.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists as a starter.
