Good news: Utah’s Lauri Markkanen is back after a month-long injury! He splashed 13 points in just 9 minutes, a scoring outburst the Jazz desperately needed.
Bad news: Keyonte George got hurt 4 minutes in, and Jordan Clarkson is out for 2 weeks! Injuries keep piling up for the struggling Jazz.
Even worse news: The Knicks, led by Julius Randle’s 14 points, spoiled Markkanen’s comeback and handed Utah another loss.
Rock bottom?: 7-16 record, worst in the West except for a few unlucky souls. Playoffs seem like a distant dream.
Can they fight back? Maybe. Markkanen’s return is a spark, but they need healthy bodies and some serious wins to climb the standings.
Stay tuned: This Jazz team has grit, but their injury woes may be too much to overcome.
Key Takeaways:
- Markkanen shines in his return, but Utah still loses.
- Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson were sidelined with injuries.
- Jazz face an uphill battle in a tough Western Conference.
