Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Won't play against New Orleans

Markkanen (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Markkanen will miss a third straight game Friday with back spasms. Cody Williams and Brice Sensabaugh will likely continue to see more time on the floor in the veteran forward's absence for the Jazz.
