The Utah Jazz announced in Salt Lake City on November 11 that forward Lauri Markkanen has two nondisplaced fractures in his right hand. The diagnosis means the broken bones have not shifted out of position. The team said he will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
Markkanen injured the hand during Utah’s November 6 game against the Dallas Mavericks, according to the team, and was diagnosed after further evaluation. Bleacher Report reported that he had already missed two games since that appearance.
The four-week timeline is for another evaluation, not a confirmed return to competition. The Jazz did not announce a specific return date in their update.
Markkanen averaged 18 points, 6.8 rebounds and two assists in eight appearances this season, according to Bleacher Report. He scored 24 points in 34 minutes against Dallas on November 6.
The outlet reported that Utah was last in the Western Conference at 1-10 at the time of its report. The injury removes one of the team’s leading scorers for an extended stretch during its difficult start to the season.
