The struggling Utah Jazz have been hit with another injury.

Lauri Markkanen will miss at least one month due to two nondisplaced fractures in his right hand, the Jazz announced Wednesday.

The team said he sustained the injury in a loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 6, and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.

An NBA All-Star in his first season with Utah in 2022-23, Markkanen is second on the Jazz in scoring this season, averaging 18.0 points while shooting a team-high 39.7 per cent from 3-point range. He is also averaging 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

The 29-year-old Finnish forward is the latest Utah player dealing with an injury, with forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) and centre Jusuf Nurkić (toe) already sidelined for a Jazz team off to a 1-10 start.
