Utah Jazz drops latest important injury update on Lauri Markkanen

Markkanen (conditioning) will miss his sixth straight game for Utah.

Lauri Markkanen has made significant progress in his ongoing illness recovery, but his on-court appearance is yet to be seen for the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz announced Wednesday that Markkanen will be unavailable due to conditioning purposes against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday.

Markkanen has missed the last five games for Utah due to illness. Once he clears and regains his composure, he should be expected to play on Saturday's game against the Miami Heat.

The Finnish star appeared in 33 games and is averaging 27.9 points, 7.2 boards and 2.2 assists this season for Utah.

With Markkanen out, Keyonte George is expected to continue leading the way for Utah.
