Lauri Markkanen Injury: Ruled out Tuesday
Markkanen won’t play Tuesday against the Warriors due to low back injury management.
Tuesday’s game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the Jazz will be holding out Markkanen and several other key contributors. Markkanen played 36 minutes in Monday’s 125-110 loss to the Bucks, finishing with 19 points (8-18 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist. With Markkanen, John Collins (illness) and Walker Kessler (shoulder) among the players sitting out Tuesday, plenty of minutes should be up for grabs in the frontcourt for the likes of Drew Eubanks, Kyle Filipowski, Micah Potter and Oscar Tshiebwe.
Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a lower back injury. The 24-year-old was listed as questionable leading up to the game, but the team ultimately decided to play it safe and give him more time to recover.
Markkanen has been a key player for the Bulls this season, averaging 19.1 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. His absence will be felt on both ends of the court, as he has been a threat from beyond the arc and a solid defender in the paint.
It remains to be seen how long Markkanen will be sidelined, but the team is hopeful that he will be able to return to action soon. In the meantime, the Bulls will have to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by Markkanen’s absence.
Stay tuned for updates on Markkanen’s injury status and how it will impact the Bulls as they continue their push for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
