Utah will re-evaluate Markkanen in two weeks after Thursday's MRI showed symptomatic hip impingement with associated inflammation and bone bruise, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markkanen suffered the injury during Wednesday's practice, and he's now set to miss at least two weeks while on the mend. John Konchar, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski should all see more chances to produce in Markkanen's absence.

Markkanen (ankle/hip) is listed out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Fantasy managers likely saw this designation coming based on how Utah has handled Markkanen in the past. With Markkanen sidelined, there will be more opportunities for guys like John Konchar, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski.

Markkanen (ankle/hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markkanen sprained his right ankle and sustained a right hip impingement during Wednesday's practice. He underwent an MRi shortly after, and his questionable designation likely means he avoided serious injury. Still, it wouldn't be surprising for Markannen to need a game or two off to recover.

Markkanen is scheduled to undergo an MRI after suffering a right ankle and a right hip injury at Wednesday's practice, The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jazz face the Pelicans on Thursday, so for now, Markkanen should be considered doubtful for that one, and it wouldn't be surprising to see this turn into a multi-game absence for the Utah star. If Markkanen needs to miss time, that would open up minutes for John Konchar, Brice Sensabaugh and Kevin Love.

Markkanen finished with 29 points (10-23 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 125-105 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the prior two games due to an illness, Markkanen was back on the court and led the Jazz in scoring on the night. The 29 points represented his best offensive performance since Jan. 8, when he dropped 33 points on the Mavericks. Markkanen's minutes could be erratic the rest of the season as a tanking Utah team pushes the envelope on what the league considers acceptable load management, and Monday's showing from three-point range suggests the 28-year-old forward may not be quite 100 percent yet.

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.

Markkanen (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game in Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
It appears that Markkanen will be held out of Friday's game, which should open up minutes for guys like Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski and John Konchar. Check back closer to tipoff for official confirmation on Markkanen's status.

Markkanen (illness) is questionable for Friday's game versus Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Markkanen wasn't on the initial injury report Utah released, and this downgrade is a concern for his fantasy managers. The Jazz have been super cautious with all their key players this season, and the NBA has already issued them a steep fine as a result. If Markkanen is held out, the Jazz will likely lean more on Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski and John Konchar.
