Lauri Markkanen to complete Finnish military service in offseason.
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen plans to fulfill his mandatory military service with the Finnish military during the offseason. Finland requires its male citizens to fulfill their mandatory military service by the time they turn 30. If the Jazz make the playoffs, he would report in July. Markkanen was traded from Cleveland to Utah in September in the deal that sent Donovan Mitchell to the Cavaliers.
