Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen continues to deal with a lingering back injury, according to the
NBA’s official injury report before Friday’s game vs the Phoenix Suns. Unfortunately, he’s dealt with a plethora of injuries already this season. Notably,
Markkanen suffered a knee injury after colliding with San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama. Although he’s played in 18 games this season, the Jazz have been extra cautious with the Finnish player.
