Jazz's injury bug has been so bad it's downright laughable
After a 1-10 start, Utah Jazz fans have asked the basketball Gods how it could get any worse. Well, the basketball Gods retorted by making it clear that the Jazz fanbase's question was not rhetorical. ESPN's Shams Charania confirmed that Lauri Markkanen will miss at least a month with a non-displaced fracture in his right hand.
It's amazing how we're almost a month into the 2026-27 season, and it's already been the season from hell for the Jazz. Not just because of how poor their start has been, but because the injuries only keep piling up. Now Markkanen will be out for some time, on top of Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee), Jusuf Nurkic (toe), and Keyonte George (ankle).
