Posts team-high 22 points in defeat
Markkanen notched 22 points (8-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 137-117 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analisi
Markkanen played through his knee injury and recorded a solid total for his struggling squad, which suffered its fourth consecutive loss. The Jazz's roster situation looked bleak earlier in the week, but Markkanen's return and Jusuf Nurkic's injury tag removal certainly improved the team's chances of success in the frontcourt. Still, Markkanen had no answer for Deni Avdija and managed only four rebounds.

Game-high 35 points in loss
Markkanen logged 35 points (15-27 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 41 minutes during the Jazz's 123-114 loss to the Warriors on Saturday.
Analisi
Markkanen returned Saturday from a one-game absence due to a left knee contusion, which didn't appear to bother him all that much as he logged a team-high 41 minutes during the loss. He reached the 35-point threshold for the fifth time this season, and his scoring output Saturday was his most in a game since Nov. 16 against the Bulls (47 points). In his last 10 outings since Dec. 1, Markkanen has averaged 27.9 points on 50.0 percent shooting along with 8.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.2 steals over 36.2 minutes per game.

Cleared to play vs. Golden State
Markkanen (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analisi
Markkanen has been officially cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a left knee contusion, so Taylor Hendricks will likely revert to a bench role due to the former's return. Markkanen has played in six of the Jazz's last 10 games while managing separate knee and groin injuries, and over that span he has averaged 27.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.8 steals over 37.0 minutes per game.

Upgraded to probable
Markkanen (knee) is now probable for Saturday's game against Golden State.
Analisi
Markkanen was initially listed as questionable due to a left knee contusion, but he's been upgraded to probable, putting the star forward on track to return from a one-game absence. Markkanen is averaging 27.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals across 35.5 minutes per game this season.

Iffy for Saturday
Markkanen (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analisi
Markkanen is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive contest due to a left knee contusion. If the star forward is ultimately ruled out, Kyle Filipowski and Taylor Hendricks are candidates for increased playing time. Over nine appearances in December, Markkanen averaged 27.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.6 minutes per contest.

Won't play Thursday
Markkanen (knee) won't play Thursday against the Clippers.
Analisi
Markkanen was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest, and he'll likely be listed as day-to-day going forward. With Markkanen sidelined Thursday, the Jazz will likely lean heavily on Kyle Filipowski and Taylor Hendricks.

Iffy for Thursday
Markkanen is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers with a left knee contusion.
Analisi
This appears to be a new injury for Markkanen after he previously battled a right groin issue. In his most recent outing, he finished with 22 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes against the Celtics on Tuesday. If he can't play Thursday, there will be more minutes available for Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Filipowski.

Nears double-double in defeat
Markkanen had 22 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 129-119 loss to the Celtics.
Analisi
Markkanen didn't deliver his most efficient performance, though he still finished as Utah's third-leading scorer. The star forward was active on the glass Tuesday and grabbed a game-high nine rebounds, a mark he has reached in three of his last six appearances. During that stretch, he has averaged 27.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
