Lauri Markkanen is slated to return to the hardwood for the Utah Jazz.
Utah Jazz / Schedule
According to Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune, the star forward (conditioning) is expected to play on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Finnish star has been absent from Utah over the last seven games due to illness. Now, he's only looking to clear his final conditioning hurdles before returning to the Jazz.
Markkanen is averaging a career-high 27.9 points with 7.2 boards and 2.2 assists this season. He played for 33 games so far.
The Jazz went 1-6 over the seven-game stretch without their franchise big.
