Recent official rulings
Lauri Markkanen — Out
After being listed as questionable to suit up due to a right wrist sprain suffered in Utah's 110-105 loss to Memphis on Monday, Markkanen has been downgraded to out. With Jusuf Nurkic (toe) and Jaren Jackson (knee) both sidelined, Jaxson Hayes, Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski and Svi Mykhailiuk are all candidates to earn more playing time.
Lauri Markkanen — Out
Markkanen was forced out of Monday's 110-105 loss to the Grizzlies after spraining his wrist, but it looks like there's a chance he won't miss any additional game time. Jaxson Hayes (shoulder) is also questionable for Wednesday's game, and if they both get cleared, Mo Bamba will lose some of his streaming appeal.
Jaren Jackson Jr. — Out
Jackson sustained the injury early in Monday's loss to Memphis, and he's now expected to miss at least a month and a half of action. The star big man's absence creates a major void in the Utah lineup, one that is likely to be filled by a timeshare of Jaxson Hayes (shoulder), Kyle Filipowski and Mo Bamba. The Jazz could also shift Lauri Markkanen (wrist), when healthy, to the center spot at times, perhaps allowing Ace Bailey to spend more time at power forward.
Jaxson Hayes — Out
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.
Trey Alexander — Out
Alexander sat out Friday's preseason finale with what the team initially described as a left knee injury, but we now know he's dealing with a bone bruise. Don't be surprised if Alexander misses Friday's game against the Pelicans as well.

Blake Hinson — Out
After missing Utah's final two preseason tilts with adductor and hamstring injuries, Hinson will be forced to sit out the regular-season opener. The 26-year-old averaged 7.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.4 minutes across his two exhibition contests. Even when healthy, Hinson is not projected to be a part of the rotation for a Jazz team ready to compete for a postseason berth in 2026-27.
Tony Bradley — Out
It's unclear when Bradley suffered this injury, but he'll begin the 2026-27 season on the sidelines. For now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's meeting with the Pelicans.

Jusuf Nurkic — Out
Nurkic will begin the 2026-27 season on the sidelines, and given the tricky nature of foot injuries for big men, it wouldn't be shocking to see his absence extend beyond this initial four-week window. Jaren Jackson will likely spend more time at center while Nurkic is out, and there will be more minutes available for Jaxson Hayes and Mo Bamba.
