Markkanen (wrist) won't return to Monday's game against Memphis. He'll finish with two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in six minutes.
Markkanen exited to the locker room in the first quarter and won't return due to a right wrist injury. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's game against the Spurs. If the veteran forward is forced to miss time, Kyle Filipowski, Ace Bailey and Brice Sensabaugh would likely see increased playing time.

Jazz's Jaren Jackson: Won't return Monday
Rotowire
Jackson has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right knee injury.
An opposing player landed on Jackson's leg early in the second quarter, and after initially remaining in the game, he ultimately checked out and went to the locker room. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but he's been shut down for the rest of the evening. Lauri Markkanen (wrist) also left Monday's game in the first half and is questionable to return, potentially opening up minutes for Svi Mykailiuk, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabugh in the frontcourt.

Jazz's Jaxson Hayes: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Hayes (shoulder) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Hayes will miss the second leg of this back-to-back due to right shoulder soreness after posting nine points, five rebounds, a steal and an assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers. That means Kyle Filipowski and Mo Bamba are likely to handle a bigger role off the bench. Hayes' next chance to play will come against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Jazz's Jaxson Hayes: Questionable to face Memphis
Rotowire
Hayes is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to right shoulder soreness, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Hayes could be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set after posting nine points, five rebounds, a steal and an assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers. If the big man joins Jusuf Nurkic (foot) on the inactive list, Kyle Filipowski and Mo Bamba would be candidates to see increased minutes off the bench.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Hands out six dimes on Sunday
Rotowire
Collier recorded six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 13 minutes during Sunday's 132-123 loss to the Lakers.
Collier finished second on the team in assists despite his limited playing time, and he now has 13 dimes over his last two outings. With Darryn Peterson and Keyonte George commanding most of the minutes in Utah's backcourt, Collier is averaging just 15.7 minutes per game, which would be a career-low in his third NBA season.

Jazz's Darryn Peterson: Struggles with shot on Sunday
Rotowire
Peterson finished with eight points (4-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 132-123 loss to the Lakers.
Peterson was the only Jazz starter to have a positive plus-minus, despite his shot not falling. The second overall pick in the 2026 draft added four combined steals and blocks, representing his first tallies in each statistical category to begin his career. Through three outings, Peterson is averaging 10.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.3 minutes.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Grabs six boards on Sunday
Rotowire
Sensabaugh closed with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Sunday's 132-123 loss to the Lakers.
The 22-year-old grabbed a season-high six rebounds during Utah's second loss of the 2026-27 campaign. Sensabaugh will continue operating in a reserve role behind Ace Bailey and Lauri Markkanen in the frontcourt.
Bailey registered 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 132-123 loss to the Lakers.
This was a nice bounce-back game for Bailey following Friday's six-point, 2-for-8 shooting performance, and he set a new career high in rebounds while recording the second double-double of his career. Bailey has shown flashes before, but he's struggled to put it all together consistently to this point in his career. However, he should continue to get plenty of opportunities while Jusuf Nurkic (foot) is sidelined.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Flirts with triple-double in loss
Rotowire
George totaled 24 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 132-123 loss to the Lakers.
George fell just one rebound shy of nabbing his first career triple-double, and he's now dished out 10 assists in back-to-back games. However, he's also committed 12 turnovers over that two-game stretch, which is a bit excessive. He'll look to get the turnovers under control in Monday's meeting with Memphis.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Scores 28 points with five treys
Rotowire
Markkanen ended Sunday's 132-123 loss to the Lakers with 28 points (9-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 38 minutes.
Markkanen had failed to crack the 20-point plateau through his first two games of the season, but he got hot Sunday and finished as Utah's leading scorer. The 29-year-old forward scored efficiently and committed just one turnover in 38 minutes of floor time, but the Jazz couldn't capitalize on his effort, falling victim to a 52-point barrage from Luka Doncic in their home opener.
Hayes supplied 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 120-119 victory over the Pelicans.
After getting the start in the season opener, Hayes swapped places with Ace Bailey as Utah went with a smaller lineup against New Orleans. Hayes was more productive off the bench, leading the second unit in scoring and boards, and he ended up playing more minutes than Bailey on the night. The duo might continue to switch in and out of the starting five depending on matchups, but Hayes' workload figures to be steady in either role while Jusuf Nurkic (foot) remains sidelined.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Drains four treys in Friday's win
Rotowire
Markkanen ended Friday's 120-119 victory over the Pelicans with 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes.
With the Jazz roster rapidly getting stronger around him, Markkanen's usage could be set to decline. The 29-year-old forward averaged 19.2 FG attempts over 42 regular-season games in 2025-26, but through two games to begin the current campaign he's attempted exactly 13 shots in each, with Jaren Jackson, Keyonte George and Darryn Peterson all seeing similar volume in Friday's win. Markkanen still figures to be busy from beyond the arc and grab his share of boards, but his overall scoring could dip well below the 23-25 PPG his fantasy investors have been used to getting from him since he arrived in Utah.

Jazz's Jaren Jackson: Big double-double in comeback win
Rotowire
Jackson ended with 24 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 33 minutes during Friday's 120-119 victory over the Pelicans.
The 24 points led the Jazz on the night, and Jackson was instrumental in the team's fourth-quarter comeback. The 27-year-old big has recorded multiple blocks in each of the first two games of the season, as he looks to average 2.0 rejections or better for the first time since 2022-23 with the Grizzlies.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
George accumulated 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, 10 assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 120-119 win over New Orleans.
The points and dimes were nice, but George also committed a game-high six turnovers and missed two of his free throw attempts. Through the first two games of the season, George is shooting 61.5 percent at the charity stripe, but that number will assuredly improve for the 85.4 percent career free-throw shooter.
