NBA-ийн улирлын эхэн үед гэмтэл бэртлийн асуудал үргэлжилсээр байгаа бөгөөд Юта Жаз багийн довтлогч Лаури Маркканен баруун гарын ясны хугарлын улмаас дор хаяж нэг сар тоглолтуудыг өнжихөөр болсныг тус баг мэдэгдлээ. Энэ нь плэйоффт өрсөлдөх зорилготой байсан Юта Жаз багийн хувьд хүнд цохилт болж байна.
Тус багийн хувьд Жарен Жэксон Жр. баруун өвдөгний дотор талын холбоосны гэмтэл авч, төвийн тоглогч Юсуф Нуркич хөлний гэмтлийн улмаас улирлын тоглолтуудад хараахан оролцоогүй байгаа юм.

Маркканени эзгүйд багийн ачааллыг хамгаалагч Даррин Петерсон болон хүчний довтлогч Эйс Бэйли нар үүрэх төлөвтэй байна. Мягмар гарагт Майами Хит багт хожигдсон тоглолтод Петерсон 25 оноо, Бэйли 23 оноог тус тус авсан нь гэмтэл бэртэл ихтэй байгаа тус багийн хувьд гэрэл гэгээтэй үзүүлэлт болжээ.

The early-season injuries in the NBA keep piling up as the Utah Jazz announced that forward Lauri Markkanen was set to miss at least a month with a non-displaced fracture in his right hand.

It’s a brutal blow for a Jazz team that looked ready to contend for a playoff spot in the Western Conference after four straight losing seasons. Last year, the Jazz traded for Jaren Jackson Jr., but he played just three games before getting shut down with an injury. They had also lost starting center Walker Kessler to injury after just five games, and Markkanen himself was limited to just 42 games.
Yet, there was optimism building around the Jazz heading into this season. Even with Kessler now on the Lakers, the Jazz had Markkanen and Jackson Jr. healthy to pair with breakout guard Keyonte George and dynamic rookie Darryn Peterson. Ace Bailey and Isaiah Collier were likely to be impactful young options off the bench, and the play-in seemed like a bare minimum in Utah.
But things went south quickly.
Jackson played four games before tearing the MCL in his right knee. Jusuf Nurkic, who was set to replace Kessler at center, hasn’t made his season debut yet as he battles a foot injury, and Keyonte George sprained his ankle over the weekend. Both George and Markkanen sat out Utah’s game on Tuesday before it was revealed how serious Markkanen’s injury was.
The 29-year-old has played in eight of the Jazz’s 11 games this season and was averaging 18.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists while shooting a disappointing 38.9% from the field. With his struggles and the mounting injuries, the Jazz have put together just the 21st-ranked defense and 29th-ranked offense, which has led to the 26th-best net rating in the league. With a record of 1-10, it’s not at all the start the team envisioned.
With Markkanen sidelined for the next month, the Jazz might continue to start Josh Green at small forward, but Markkanen’s usage will likely be spread to shooting guard Darryn Peterson and power forward Ace Bailey. In Tuesday’s loss to the Heat, Peterson scored 25 points on 10-of-19 from the field with four rebounds and four assists, while Bailey scored 23 points on 10-for-15 from the field to go along with seven rebounds and two assists. Their development will be a silver lining amidst all the injuries for the Jazz.
However, by the time Markkanen and Jackson Jr. return, the improvement of Peterson and Bailey may not be enough to save what looks to be another lost season.
