The Utah Jazz are set to face the Orlando Magic without several key players, including Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, and Jordan Clarkson, all sidelined due to injuries or personal reasons.
Clarkson's ongoing foot issue is particularly concerning, marking his twelfth missed game of the season. In contrast, Markkanen and Collins were unexpected absences, having participated in the previous game where they scored 15 and 25 points, respectively.
Despite these setbacks, the Jazz are coming off a strong performance against the Miami Heat, led by rookie Brice Sensabaugh, who achieved a career-high of 34 points. Currently, Utah holds an 8-25 record, placing them near the bottom of the Western Conference standings.
