Markkanen has dealt with both a right hip impingement and a sprained ankle since he last played Feb. 23, though the hip injury has been the lingering issue. The star forward's next opportunity to play will come April 3 against Houston. However, there's a very real chance that the Jazz will shut him down for the remainder of the season, as they'll have only five games remaining when he's slated to be re-evaluated. Andersson Garcia, John Konchar (quadriceps) and Blake Hinson are candidates to see increased minutes for as long as Markkanen remains sidelined.
This is a tough news for Utah's newest addition. Jackson is likely to undergo further evaluation, but fantasy managers should be prepared for the worst.
Nurkic came back from the All-Star break with a nose injury, and he's opting for a procedure to repair the issue. The 31-year-old big man is set to be an unrestricted free agent ahead of 2026-27, and he should receive plenty of interest on the open market this summer after averaging 10.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.4 minutes per contest through 41 games this season. With Nurkic's campaign over, the runway is clear at center for Kyle Filipowski to handle a starting role the rest of the way.
Although George hasn't officially been shut down, it's hard to imagine he will be back on the floor this season. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Elijah Harkless (hamstring) also ruled out for Sunday's contest, Cody Williams, Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng should handle most of the work in the backcourt against Oklahoma City.
At this point, it's hard to tell if Collier will be back in the lineup before the end of the 2025-26 campaign. However, with Elijah Harkless (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) also sidelined Sunday, Kennedy Chandler, Bez Mbeng and Cody Williams will likely absorb most of the minutes in the backcourt versus Oklahoma City.
Harkless will now miss a fourth consecutive game. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) also on the shelf for Sunday's contest, Cody Williams, Kennedy Chandler, and Bez Mbeng should handle most of the work in the backcourt.
