In their initial injury report ahead of their Monday road clash against the Spurs, the Jazz listed Lauri Markkanen as out due to illness.
This would mark the fourth consecutive game that Markkanen will be unavailable for Utah as he continues to deal with the disease. The Jazz went 3-0 since he went down.
As such, after San Antonio, he might finally return to the team's second night of back-to-back against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Ace Bailey is set to continue starting for the Jazz in the wake of Markkanen's absence.
Markkanen is averaging a career-high 27.9 points along with 7.2 boards and 2.2 assists this season.
