Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen will be re-evaluated in four weeks after sustaining a hand injury, the team announced on Wednesday.
The Finnish forward sustained two non-displaced fractures in his right hand in last Friday’s 112-100 defeat in Dallas.
He will miss his third straight game when the Jazz (1-10) try to snap a nine-game skid on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic.
Markkanen, 29, is averaging 18.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in eight starts this season, his fifth campaign with the Jazz.
He earned his lone All-Star selection and was the NBA’s Most Improved Player in his first season with Utah in 2022-23.
