Markkanen (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Markkanen saw his injury status downgrade from questionable to doubtful, and the veteran forward will sit out of Friday's game while battling through an illness. His absence means Kyle Filipowski, John Konchar and Kevin Love are all poised for larger roles against Memphis. Markkanen's next opportunity to play is Monday against the Rockets.
