Markovic has appeared in four of Milwaukee's first five games, sitting out the Oct. 11 loss to Charlotte. His busiest night came Oct. 16 against Indiana, a win where he logged 14.7 minutes and posted 7 points and 8 rebounds, a plus-3 on the floor. Outside of that game, he's been limited to single-digit minutes: 5.7 against Oklahoma City, 20.5 against Chicago in a loss where he managed just 1 point and 4 rebounds. No assists yet through five games.

Markovic is not on the injury report, and he has no injury history listed. At 6-10 and 210 pounds, he's got rookie size for a forward, and the Indiana game showed a glimpse of what he can do with real minutes on the floor. The sample is still small, four games, none longer than 20.5 minutes, so his role in Milwaukee's rotation is still being sorted out early in the 2026-27 season.
