Bounces back in win
Markkanen supplied 20 points (5-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 111-110 victory over San Antonio.
Analysis
Markkanen didn't have his most productive night shooting the basketball, but Saturday was an obvious improvement in comparison to his eight-point showing Thursday night against the Bucks. The big man has managed to put up solid numbers across the board since back spasms forced him to miss three games, collecting 13 rebounds, eight assists and four steals in two appearances.

Limited production in return
Markkanen (back) turned in eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks.
Analysis
Markkanen was back in action after missing the previous three games with back spasms, but his return along with Jordan Clarkson's (heel) from a two-game absence was not enough to keep the Jazz competitive, as Milwaukee ran away with the win after outscoring Utah 31-16 in the third quarter. In addition to missing time with the back issue, Markkanen has largely struggled to match the production he delivered during his first two campaigns in Utah during the early stages of the current season. Through five appearances, Markkanen is averaging 16.0 points (on 37.1 percent shooting from the field), 7.2 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers and 2.2 assists in 28.4 minutes. While his scoring should improve once his field-goal percentage inevitably veers closer to his 45.8 percent career rate, Markkanen could be at risk of missing time late in the season if the 1-7 Jazz find themselves well removed from the playoff picture.

Available Thursday
Markkanen (back) is available for Thursday's game against Milwaukee.
Analysis
The star forward has missed the club's last three outings due to lower back spasms, though he is expected to reclaim his starting role from Kyle Filipowski on Thursday and won't face any kind of minutes restriction, per Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune. Markkanen has appeared in four regular-season games thus far, during which he has averaged 18.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 38.5 percent from the field across 28.5 minutes per game.

Expected to play against Milwaukee
Markkanen (back) is probable for Thursday's game versus the Bucks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Analysis
Markkanen has been upgraded from questionable to probable Thursday after missing Utah's previous three outings due to back spasms. If the star forward is further upgraded to available, he should reclaim his starting job from Kyle Filipowski.

Practices Wednesday
Markkanen (back) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. He remains questionable for Thursday's game against Milwaukee.
Analysis
Markkanen has missed three consecutive contests due to back spasms but is trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Bucks. In his absence, Kyle Filipowski has averaged 18.3 minutes per game, while Drew Eubanks has averaged 18.7 minutes per game, but both would likely be reduced to sporadic playing time upon Markkanen's return.

Won't play Monday
Markkanen (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis
Markkanen was initially listed as questionable to return Monday from a two-game absence due to lower back spasms, but he was downgraded to doubtful before eventually being ruled out. He'll have a couple of days of rest before his next chance at suiting up Thursday against the Bucks. Kyle Filipowski is likely to remain in the Jazz's starting five while Markkanen is sidelined.

Downgraded to doubtful
Markkanen (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Monday's game against the Bulls, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Analysis
Markkanen was previously listed as questionable, and he was able to go through portions of the morning shootaround Monday, but the Jazz will are seemingly leaning toward holding him out again. With Markkanen set to miss a third straight contest, Kyle Filipowski is likely to continue starting at power forward.
