Supplies 19 points in loss
Markkanen produced 19 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Friday's 134-126 loss to Phoenix.
Analysis
The 27-year-old forward is nursing a sore back that has cost him two of Utah's last seven games, but Markkanen was reasonably productive Friday after managing just eight points on 2-for-9 shooting in Sunday's loss to Sacramento. He's reached 20 points only once in his last six appearances though, averaging 15.8 points, 5.7 boards, 2.5 assists and 2.0 threes over that stretch while shooting 38.8 percent from the floor and 26.7 percent (12-for-45) from beyond the arc, and Markkanen can't be relied on to supply his usual numbers until he shows he's 100 percent healthy again.

Will play Friday
Markkanen (back) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.
Analysis
Markkanen was initially listed questionable for Friday's game, but was later upgraded to probable and now to available. As such, the star forward should handle his regular workload on the offensive end of the court. Markkanen is averaging 20.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.7 steals per game over his last 10 contests.

Now expected to play Friday
Markkanen (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Suns.
Analysis
Markkanen has been upgraded from questionable to probable Friday despite dealing with a lower back injury. If Markkanen is further upgraded to available, there is no indication he will be on a minutes restriction.

Back on injury report
Markkanen (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.
Analysis
The Jazz continue to place Markkanen on the injury report due to low back injury management, though it's slightly concerning that he's tagged as questionable after being listed as probable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Kings. The team should have more clarification on his availability closer to Friday's tipoff.

Notches just eight points
Markkanen logged eight points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 loss to the Kings.
Analysis
Utah's franchise player appeared in three consecutive outings before missing Friday's win over Portland due to injury management. The Jazz are 5-18 on the season, so it's likely they'll exercise caution with Markkanen whenever possible. He's had a quiet season by his standards, as his production is down nearly across the board compared to 2023-24, as well as his shooting percentages.

Gets green light
Markkanen (back) has been cleared to play Sunday against the Kings, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Analysis
Markkanen was upgraded to probable a few hours before tipoff, so this update is no surprise. He's averaging 20.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in his last five appearances and should be in store for a full workload Sunday night.

Upgraded to probable Sunday
Markkanen (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis
Markkanen is likely to suit up following a questionable tag due to lower-back injury management. The star forward appeared in three consecutive outings before missing Friday's win over Portland, averaging 18.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 34.3 minutes per game in that trio of contests.
