Utah Jazz big Lauri Markkanen will be sidelined for at least one month with a non-displaced fracture in his right hand, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania and Tim MacMahon.

Markkanen had missed Utah's last two games with what was initially believed to be a right wrist sprain.

The 29-year-old has averaged 18 points, 6.8 rebounds, and two assists in eight contests this season.

The Jazz will sorely miss Markkanen's presence as they're off to a dreadful 1-10 start to the campaign.
