Utah Jazz All-Star forward Lauri Markkanen will complete his mandatory military service in Finland during the offseason. Markkanen is having a career year in Utah.
Lauri Markkanen, #23 of the Utah Jazz in action during the second half of a game against the Phoenix Suns at Vivint Arena on March 27, 2023, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
"Yeah, I mean, that's something we're not accustomed to here or in Canada," Jazz teammate Kelly Olynyk said, according to KSL News."Lauri's a stand-up citizen, so he is going to do whatever he has to do to serve his country, and I commend him for that. A lot of guys here wouldn't do it or would try to get out of it. I don't really have another comment on that. It's crazy to hear.
