Markkanen playing through significant wrist pain
Will Hardy says Markkanen is playing through significant wrist pain following an Oct. 26 injury. He played 39 minutes and recorded 21 points and 10 rebounds against New Orleans; Utah also used him at center after Hayes fouled out, but Hardy said those minutes will be matchup-dependent. No diagnosis or availability change has been reported.
