Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen will be sidelined for at least one month after suffering two non-displaced fractures in his right hand. The injury occurred during last Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, though Markkanen had missed the prior two games with a wrist sprain. The 29-year-old Finn is averaging 18.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game through eight appearances, and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
