Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Leaves with knee injury Tuesday

Markkanen was helped back to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 128-115 loss to the Spurs with a left knee contusion and will not return, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. He posted 14 points (5-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes before departing.

The star forward suffered the injury in a collision with Spurs center Victor Wembanyama. Markkanen needed assistance getting off the floor and will undergo further testing on the knee. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play Wednesday against the Nuggets in the second leg of a back-to-back set.
