Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen was initially slated to start Friday’s game vs. the Trail Blazers, but he was scratched an hour before tip-off due to a lower back issue. The official designation is injury management.
The Jazz next play on Sunday in Sacramento. As for tonight, Svi Mykhailiuk will get the start.
With Markkanen off the court this season, Keyonte George has also seen a 5.3% percentage point bump in usage rate to 30.8% in 152 minutes.
