Lauri Markkanen

Lauri Markkanen’s game has officially reached new heights. Leading the Orlando Magic by three in the closing moments of the fourth quarter, Markkanen switches onto Franz Wagner and flawlessly anticipates Wagner’s three-point attempt by skying high for an enormous block with 5.1 seconds to play. The sixth-year forward was a hero on both ends for the Utah Jazz, recording 28 points, 12 rebounds and two assists while going 17 for 21 at the foul line in his squad’s 112-108 victory on January 13, 2023.
