EDGE Analysis

This was Markkanen's first appearance of the preseason after a wrist injury he sustained at EuroBasket delayed his full participation at training camp. While Markkanen's talent is undeniable, his durability and how the Jazz handle his maintenance plan in what projects to be another rebuilding year are the major question marks related to his fantasy appeal.

Markkanen (wrist) will play in Monday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markkanen has yet to play during the preseason, but he was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Markkanen has been limited during training camp due to a left wrist contusion and won't suit up in Utah's preseason opener. His next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Markkanen popped up on the team's injury report along with Kyle Filipowski (back) and Georges Niang (foot). All three players didn't participate in practice.

Markkanen racked up 48 points and nine rebounds in Friday's 105-62 win over Belgium during Finland's EuroBasket 2025 preparation game.

EDGE Analysis

Markkanen drained seven three-pointers in just 25 minutes of court time to power Finland to victory in Friday's exhibition contest. The star forward missed the final 12 games of this past regular season due to a left knee injury, but fantasy managers should be pleased to see Markkanen back on the court ahead of the 2025-26 season. The Jazz lost John Collins, Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson this offseason, which sets up Markkanen with plenty of usage to soak up next year.

Markkanen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Markkanen will end up missing the final 12 games of the season, most recently due to a left knee injury, and it'll be the 29th game he'll be sidelined for since the beginning of the new year. With the Jazz eliminated from playoff contention, Markkanen will end the 2024-25 regular season averaging 19.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 31.4 minutes per game across 47 outings.

EDGE Analysis

The Jazz last announced that Markkanen would be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days on Apr. 2, and the club has yet to provide additional details. He'll have one more chance to return for the regular-season finale Sunday in Minnesota, though it seems unlikely that he'll get the green light to suit up.
