Monday night was a horrific scene to watch with the Utah Jazz’s promising power forward suffering what looked to be a snapped leg.

It was a non-contact injury where after he was done running, Hendrick’s fell to the ground with his leg visibly broken.

According to multiple reports, confirmed by Utah, the 20-year-old suffered a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle. This was found out after being stretchered out of the arena and to the hospital.

This will be a season-ending injury.

The Utah Jazz are twelve days out from their season opener against the Memphis Grizzlies, which is good and bad when considering Keyonte George’s latest injury.

According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, George will get an MRI done on his left knee Friday to determine the severity and hopefully have a concrete timeline.

During Thursday night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, the 20-year-old suffered a mild knee sprain. However, Utah is optimistic that he won’t miss significant time and can be ready by October 23rd.

George averaged 13.0 points, 4.4 assists, and 2.8 rebounds during his rookie season.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Utah Jazz have signed Lauri Markkanen to the largest contract in his seven years in the league.

Markkanen has agreed to stay with Utah by signing a five-year, $238 million extension with the team. This deal comes after heading into the next season on an expiring contract, which while seen valuable by teams like the Golden State Warriors, the Jazz has decided to not trade him.

Even though he was extended to a new deal in the offseason, because of the timing, the 27-year-old is not eligible to be traded in the upcoming season.

Like mentioned before, multiple teams were interested, but the closest team to landing Markkanen were Golden State. However, the Warriors didn’t want to include Brandin Podziemski or Jonathan Kuminga into the deal.

This has led to both the Jazz and Markkanen to remain faithful to each other and continue their partnership well into his thirties.

In 55 games during the 2023-24 season, he averaged 23.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. Fans saw Markkanen shooting around 48% from the field and 39% from deep.
