Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Markkanen (illness) won't play Sunday against the Thunder.
An illness will force Markkanen to miss his first game of the season Sunday, but with Utah's next game not coming until Friday in Memphis, Markkanen will have plenty of time to rest up. With the Jazz's star unavailable Sunday evening, Keyonte George and Ace Bailey should see a sizeable uptick in usage and there will be more minutes available for Kevin Love, Kyle Filipowski and Kyle Anderson.
Markkanen (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Markkanen is a late addition to the injury report and is at risk of missing his first game of the season due to an illness. If the 28-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Kyle Filipowski, Kyle Anderson and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates for increased playing time, while Taylor Hendricks could enter the rotation.

Jazz's Georges Niang: Remaining out vs. OKC
Rotowire
Niang (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Niang has yet to make his season debut due to a left foot injury he sustained in September. The veteran forward is expected to be re-evaluated in the near future, and he can be considered doubtful for future contests until the Jazz provide an update on his timeline for a return. His next chance to play will come Friday against Memphis.
Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Scores 18 points in blowout loss
Rotowire
Markkanen finished with 18 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Friday's 146-112 blowout loss to the Knicks.
Markkanen struggled with his shot in this one, and with the Jazz getting blown out, he took a seat on the bench late in the third quarter and did not return to the game for the fourth quarter. Markkanen could have a tough time bouncing back Sunday, with a difficult matchup against the Thunder.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Retreating to bench
Rotowire
Filipowski won't start against the Knicks on Friday.
With Jusuf Nurkic back in action following a one-game absence due to a right rib contusion, Filipowski will slide to the second unit. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the second-year big man has averaged 9.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 23.4 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Available Friday
Rotowire
Nurkic (ribs) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
After missing Thursday's win over Brooklyn due to a right rib contusion, Nurkic will return for the second leg of the team's back-to-back. With the veteran big man back in action, Kyle Filipowski will likely retreat to the bench. Over his last five appearances, Nurkic has averaged 12.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.8 minutes per game.

Jazz's Kevin Love: Off injury report
Rotowire
Love (rest) isn't part of Utah's injury report for Friday's game against the Knicks.
The Jazz rested Love on Thursday for the opening leg of the team's back-to-back set, but the veteran forward will be a full-go for Friday's contest and could see increased usage if Jusuf Nurkic (ribs) misses another game. Love is averaging 5.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 14.3 minutes per game this season.

Jazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Nurkic (ribs) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Nurkic missed the front end of this back-to-back set due to a rib contusion, allowing Kyle Filipowski to draw a start. The same situation could unfold Friday, as it's unclear how severe Nurkic's injury is. Thursday's absence was the first of the season for Nurkic.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Limited to 15 minutes
Rotowire
Collier amassed three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound and three assists across 15 minutes during Thursday's 123-110 win over the Nets.
Collier is very clearly behind both Keyonte George and Walter Clayton on the depth chart, and it's hard to see that changing. Over his last seven outings, Collier has seen an average of 17.8 minutes per contest with 4.9 points, 3.7 assists and 1.3 rebounds.

Jazz's Kyle Anderson: Another strong line
Rotowire
Anderson totaled eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals over 17 minutes during Thursday's 123-110 victory over the Nets.
Anderson continues to fly under the radar as a really solid source of fantasy value lately, particularly in category formats. Over his last three appearances, he has produced averages of 9.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 1.0 blocks in 21.7 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
Sensabaugh provided eight points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Thursday's 123-110 win over the Nets.
The usage was encouraging for Sensabaugh, but he's been struggling to find a rhythm lately, and his low workloads certainly aren't helping. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 9.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.3 three-pointers on 36.1 percent shooting from the field.
Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Game-high 30 points Thursday
Rotowire
Markkanen tallied 30 points (11-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 35 minutes during Utah's 123-110 win over Brooklyn on Thursday.
Markkanen helped Utah close things out with 10 fourth-quarter points, and his performance Thursday marked the ninth time this season that the veteran forward has scored 30-plus points in a game. He is off to a terrific start to the 2025-26 regular season, averaging a career-high 28.1 points along with 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 3.0 threes and 0.9 steals over 35.5 minutes per game. Markkanen will look to carry his momentum into the second leg of the Jazz's back-to-back set Friday against the Knicks.
