Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (wrist) sat out Tuesday’s practice. The team announced that the Finnish star is dealing with a left wrist contusion. It remains to be seen whether this injury will affect Markkanen’s availability for the preseason. Utah’s first game is scheduled for next Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Injuries have held back Markkanen over the last few seasons, and it would be unfortunate to see him miss time again early in the year. Especially after Markkanen showcased his full potential during the recent EuroBasket tournament, where he averaged 23.1 points and 8.1 rebounds in 28.9 minutes.–Taavi Pailk
