The Utah Jazz saw one of their top contributors on the roster leave in the first quarter vs. the Memphis Grizzlies with an apparent injury.

And that was none other than Lauri Markkanen , who seemed to suffer a wrist injury early in the night after getting tangled up with Grizzlies rookie Cameron Boozer, and would quickly head to the locker room after getting Kyle Filipowski subbed in.

At this point, we don't know the exact extent of the injury, and whether or not he'll be forced out for a significant amount of time. The Jazz would announce that Markkanen would be questionable to return.

Injury Update:

Lauri Markkanen (right wrist) is questionable to return to the game tonight.

But of course, there's no question that if Markkanen were to miss any stretch of time, it'd be a major loss for the Jazz's lineup.

The Jazz were already entering this game against the Grizzlies lacking some of their usual size in the frontcourt.…
