Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen has a non-displaced fracture in his right hand and will miss at least a month, sources told ESPN. The injury occurred when he was hit during Friday's loss to Dallas, with follow-up scans in Utah revealing the fracture after initial X-rays came back clean. The 1-10 Jazz, already missing multiple starters including Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jusuf Nurkic, now face an even deeper hole as their leading scorer departs.
