The Indiana Pacers reached out to the Utah Jazz about the potential availability of Lauri Markkanen before they eventually pivoted to a trade for Pascal Siakam, sources tell Zach Lowe of ESPN.
The Jazz showed zero interest in trading Markkanen, sources tell Lowe.
Markkanen has emerged as an All-Star since joining the Jazz and by all accounts they would need a team to grossly overpay to consider moving him.
Markkanen is signed through the 24-25 season and has expressed interest in remaining with the Jazz long-term.
