Will be available Wednesday Markkanen (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Markkanen missed back-to-back games due to a hip injury and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday, but the talented big man has since been cleared and will presumably return to the starting lineup against Los Angeles. The 6-foot-11 sharpshooter has been a revelation during his first season with the Jazz, averaging 24.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 34.2 minutes per game -- all career highs.

Deemed questionable Wednesday Markkanen (hip) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Markkanen has been listed as questionable in each of the last two games before being ruled out, so his listing doesn't really provide much information about his availability Wednesday. The team should provide another update on his status prior to the 9 PM ET tipoff, with Jarred Vanderbilt, Rudy Gay and Talen Horton-Tucker, among others, likely to see expanded run if he sits again.

Ruled out Monday Markkanen (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Impact Markkanen was considered a game-time decision for Monday's game as he continues to deal with a hip injury, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup. Jarred Vanderbilt, Rudy Gay and Talen Horton-Tucker are candidates to see increased run against Minnesota.

Listed as questionable Markkanen (hip) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Minnesota, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Ruled out Saturday Markkanen (hip) will not play in Saturday's game against the 76ers, David Locke reports.
Impact Markkanen was tabbed as questionable for the contest after picking up a left hip contusion Friday and will ultimately be sidelined for Saturday's tilt.

Questionable Saturday Markkanen is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to a left hip contusion, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Markkanen presumably suffered the injury in Friday's 112-108 victory over the Magic. He accumulated 28 points (4-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 17-21 FT), 12 rebounds, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 36 minutes in the contest. The 25-year-old's status will depend on how he is feeling closer to tipoff, but Talen Horton-Tucker and Ochai Agbaji would be candidates to see increased run if he ultimately has to sit out.

Drills 17 free throws in win Markkanen finished with 28 points (4-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 17-21 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 112-108 win over the Magic.
Impact Markkanen has made hay at the free-throw line over the Jazz's last two games, converting 29 of 35 attempts (82.8 percent) during that span to help bring his streak of 20-plus-point performances to 13. The 25-year-old remains in the thick of the conversation for a reserve spot in the All-Star Game while he's in the midst of a career-best season that has helped make the 22-23 Jazz surprisingly competitive in what was expected to be a rebuilding year.

Markkanen has been on a tear in January, as he's now averaging 30.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists through five games.
