Availability
The Jazz say Lauri Markkanen will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Markkanen injured his hip and ankle in practice on Wednesday. He underwent an MRI that “showed symptomatic hip impingement with associated inflammation and bone bruise.” John Konchar will see more run in his place.
Markkanen won't play Thursday against the Pelicans, ruled out with ankle and hip issues.

John Konchar, Brice Sensabaugh, and Kyle Filipowski are all in line to pick up the slack in his absence.
Markkanen went a perfect 8-of-8 from the free-throw line Monday, which helped prop up a 29-point effort that came on 10-of-23 shooting from the field. He added three rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one three-pointer in the loss to the Rockets.
Fantasy Impact
The free-throw volume softened what was otherwise a rough shooting night — something fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on given the field goal efficiency.
Lauri Markkanen is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Rockets.
Fantasy Impact
Markkanen is likely to return after sitting out with an illness. He should be back in his starting role.
Lauri Markkanen (illness) has been ruled out of the Utah Jazz against the Memphis Grizzlies Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Markkanen began the day carrying a questionable designation but was unable to progress to being able to suit up, with Kyle Filipowski and Kevin Love likely to see increased minutes against the Grizzlies Friday night.
