Lauri Markkanen Sitting Versus Kings
7 months agoUtah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (rest) is not going to suit up for Thursday's preseason finale versus the Sacramento Kings. Markkanen has probably earned the night off, too, after last year's first-time All-Star banked his second straight efficient preseason of play this fall. Markkanen averaged 16.8 points on 52.2% shooting, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.0 three-pointers in four exhibition games, looking locked-in for Oct. 25's regular-season opener vs. Sacramento. Target the 2022-23 Most Improved Player of the Year along the Round 2/3 turn in upcoming 12-team fantasy drafts as the focal point of head coach Will Hardy's offense. The Jazz figure to give first-round rookies Taylor Hendricks and Brice Sensabaugh plenty of run on Thursday, as well as Simone Fontecchio.
