The Utah Jazz‘s season has gone from bad to worse.
Star forward Lauri Markkanen will be out at least one month with a non-displaced fracture in his right hand, the team announced Wednesday.
Markkanen was out the past two games after suffering the injury during a game against Dallas last Friday.
The Jazz (1-10) are tied for last in the Western Conference.
Markkanen is averaging 18.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this season.
The Finnish native was an NBA all-star and the winner of the league’s Most Improved Player award in 2022-23, his first season with the Jazz.
