Forward Lauri Markkanen and forward/center John Collins did not play for the Utah Jazz against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night. Markkanen (personal reasons) has missed four games this season. He left late in the fourth quarter of Utah’s 128-115 loss to San Antonio on Tuesday night and did not return with a left knee contusion following a knee-to-knee collision with Victor Wembanyama.

The Utah Jazz will be facing off against the San Antonio Spurs for the fourth and final time this season on Monday, as the team takes on their third NBA Cup matchup of the season, hoping to secure their first of the tournament and fifth total win of the year.
