LAURI MARKKANEN NEWS

Questionable Wednesday Markkanen is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to right knee soreness, Ryan Miller of KSL.com reports.

Impact Markkanen posted a double-double Monday against the Pacers with 29 points, 11 rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes, but he was a late addition to Wednesday's injury report due to his knee issue. If he's sidelined, Ochai Agbaji, Talen Horton-Tucker and Simone Fontecchio are candidates to see increased run.

Disappears in second half Markkanen ended Wednesday's 143-118 loss to Minnesota with 21 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes.

Impact Markkanen got off to a great start with 17 points in the first half on 6-of-10 shooting from the field while knocking down three of five three-point attempts. He added only four more points after the break, however, as the forward saw just under eight minutes of floor action over the final two quarters. Despite disappearing in the second half, Markkanen still finished second on the team in scoring with 21 points, and he's now shot above 50 percent in four of his last five games. He's also grabbed at least five rebounds in five straight.
