Analyse
Markkanen missed his first game of the season Sunday due to an illness, but he's been given the green light to return for Friday's tilt. The Arizona product is off to a solid start to December, averaging 25.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his first three appearances.

Ruled out for Sunday
Markkanen (illness) won't play Sunday against the Thunder.
Analyse
An illness will force Markkanen to miss his first game of the season Sunday, but with Utah's next game not coming until Friday in Memphis, Markkanen will have plenty of time to rest up. With the Jazz's star unavailable Sunday evening, Keyonte George and Ace Bailey should see a sizeable uptick in usage, and there will be more minutes available for Kevin Love, Kyle Filipowski and Kyle Anderson.

Added to injury report
Markkanen (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Analyse
Markkanen is a late addition to the injury report and is at risk of missing his first game of the season due to an illness. If the 28-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Kyle Filipowski, Kyle Anderson and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates for increased playing time, while Taylor Hendricks could enter the rotation.
