Lauri Markkanen returned to action last night after missing eight straight games due to injury. In his return, he scored an efficient 23 points and led the Jazz to a big win at home. Even more significant than his win on the court, news came of another win in Markkanen’s life last night.
Nick DePaula broke the news that Markkanen has signed a multi-year extension with Nike. Details of the deal are still yet to come out, but Markkanen debuted his new player-exclusive Nike GT Hustle last night in throwback Utah Jazz purple.
