Lauri Markkanen Out Wednesday with Illness; Status for Thursday Uncertain

Lauri Markkanen (Utah Jazz) has been officially ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an illness, after initially being downgraded to doubtful. The Jazz are exercising caution, especially with a back-to-back set. His status for Thursday's matchup in Dallas is uncertain given the short turnaround. With Markkanen sidelined, Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Filipowski, and Brice Sensabaugh are expected to see increased playing time. Kevin Love is also resting, further impacting the rotation.
