Lauri Markkanen (Jazz) Out Monday, Misses 4th Straight Due to Illness

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Spurs due to an illness, marking his fourth consecutive missed contest. While he is sidelined, rookie first-rounder Ace Bailey is expected to remain in the starting lineup. Markkanen could potentially return for the second leg of the Jazz's back-to-back set on Tuesday against the Timberwolves, offering a glimmer of hope for his return.
