Northwest Notes: Markkanen, Peterson, Blazers, Braun
The Utah Jazz upgrade Lauri Markkanen from questionable to active for today’s game against Portland after a wrist sprain, while they continue to grapple with injuries to Jusuf Nurkic (toe) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (MCL). Rookie guard Darryn Peterson, the No. 2 pick, admits to early indecision and a 34.9% shooting slump, but coach Will Hardy stresses his growth. In Oregon, Senator Ron Wyden pushes Blazers owner Tom Dundon toward a Moda Center renovation to keep the team in Portland. Meanwhile, Nuggets wing Christian Braun erupts for career‑high 31 points and seven three‑pointers in a win over Phoenix, capping his comeback from last season’s ankle injury.
Jalen Green is hanging on to starting spot with Suns for dear life
A two point, two assist performance for Jalen Green in a Suns loss to the Nuggets has him officially hold onto his starting spot in Phoenix for dear life.
Collin Gillespie is showing Jalen Green how to run the Suns
The Phoenix Suns stumble to a 1‑3 start, anchoring last in defensive rating (125.8), opposing three‑point percentage (43.9%) and second‑chance points (22.3). The article argues that the Sun’s “positionless” experiment is faltering, especially with Jalen Green forced into a makeshift point‑guard role. Green’s uneven nights—20 points on 8‑of‑13 shooting versus Oklahoma City and just 2 points on 1‑of‑6 against Denver—highlight his inconsistency. By contrast, backup guard Collin Gillespie, though not a traditional floor general, provides the stability the offense needs when he handles the ball. The piece suggests the Suns must define roles and rely more on Gillespie’s playmaking while easing Green back into his natural scoring duties.

Nate Ament thinks his defense will increase his minutes with the Milwaukee Bucks this season
Rookie forward Nate Ament, the No. 13 pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, is turning his defensive hustle into more minutes for the Milwaukee Bucks after missing the first two games with a sprained ankle. In 14.7 minutes per game he averages 5.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 29.4% shooting, but his biggest impact comes guarding stars like Jaylen Brown, Pascal Siakam and Kevin Durant in his first three outings.
