Lauri Markkanen returns to starting lineup and scores 16 against Thunder
by Dave Kluge | Jazz Correspondent | Sat, Jan 16th 3:19pm EST
Lauri Markkanen played 25 minutes and logged 16 points (5-14 FG, 3-9 3PT, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two blocks, and a steal in Friday's loss to the Thunder.
Fantasy Impact:
Markkanen hadn't played since December 29th due to health and safety protocol but returned to action Friday with a game almost perfectly in-line with his season averages of 17.0 points and 6.6 rebounds. After a disappointing third-year campaign where Markkanen regressed in almost every metric, he's looking to bounce back under new coach Billy Donovan and showing some promise through his first five games.
