Utah Jazz vs. Golden State Warriors injury report
Utah Jazz injury report for April 7
The Jazz have listed five players on their injury report: Kris Dunn (knee) is questionable, while Walker Kessler (nose), John Collins (back), Jordan Clarkson (back) and Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) are out.
What happened to Lauri Markkanen?
Lauri Markkanen's ongoing discomfort has been confirmed by an MRI, indicating an aggravation of his prior right shoulder impingement.
With slightly over two weeks left in the season, it appears increasingly likely that his regular-season campaign may be over. While there remains a slim chance of his return for the April 14 finale, there's little motivation to hasten his recovery. Consequently, players such as Taylor Hendricks, Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh may see an increase in their court time following this development.
Golden State Warriors injury report for April 7
The Warriors have listed five players on their injury report: Steph Curry (rest) and Dario Saric (knee) are out, while Andrew Wiggins (ankle) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) are questionable and Gary Payton II (ankle) is probable.
The Jazz vs. Warriors matchup will be broadcast on Root Sports Northwest and livestreamed on FuboTV.
