Lauri Markkanen’s streak of consecutive 30-point games ended with a 29-point effort in the loss to the Hornets. Hindered by inefficiency from beyond the arc and limited free throw attempts, Markkanen had his lowest shooting percentage this season. Despite this, he led the team in scoring, maintaining his impressive early-season form and suggesting last year’s dip in production was an exception.

Lauri Markkanen delivered an impressive performance with 33 points, including four three-pointers, in Utah’s game against the Kings. Though not heavily involved in rebounding or playmaking, Markkanen’s efficient shooting played a pivotal role in leading the Jazz offensively. This marks his highest scoring game of the season, underscoring his value as a scoring asset in fantasy basketball despite limited contributions in other categories.

Lauri Markkanen showcased his versatility in Thursday’s preseason game against the Trail Blazers, contributing 15 points, three rebounds, five assists, a block, and a three-pointer. While his on-court productivity remains solid, fantasy managers express concerns over the Utah Jazz’s strategic direction, particularly in a competitive Western Conference that could pivot toward developmental focus and impact Markkanen’s value this season.

Lauri Markkanen contributed 10 points on 4-of-9 shooting, along with four rebounds, three assists, and a steal in the Jazz’s preseason game against the Mavericks. While his three-point shot remained elusive, Markkanen showed efficiency inside the arc and made the most of his 18 minutes on the court. With one preseason game remaining, he’ll aim to fine-tune his performance as he seeks to improve upon last season’s output with the team.

Lauri Markkanen is set to make his preseason debut against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday, after recovering from a wrist injury. The injury, which had not been expected to affect his readiness for the regular season, kept him out for the preseason until now. His return will be closely watched as he gears up for the upcoming campaign.

Lauri Markkanen, recovering from a wrist injury sustained at EuroBasket, fully participated in the Utah Jazz’s practice on Sunday. Head coach Will Hardy previously indicated that Markkanen’s restrictions were precautionary. Sunday’s progress suggests he is on schedule to be available for the regular season opener on October 22.

Lauri Markkanen’s wrist has limited him to individual workouts this preseason, but Jazz head coach Will Hardy remains optimistic about his availability for the regular season. Markkanen, who injured his wrist during EuroBasket, is said to be undergoing maintenance rather than dealing with a serious issue. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Markkanen’s status, while considering young players like Taylor Hendricks and Brice Sensabaugh as potential draft options if Markkanen’s situation changes.
