During Tuesday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, Markkanen bumped knees with Victor Wembanyama and looked to be in severe pain. He had to be helped off the floor and the initial thought was that he’d miss a few games.
Thankfully, the diagnosis was only a knee contusion, but he ended up missing Wednesday’s game anyways due to a personal issue.
On Friday, it was announced that he will be available for Saturday’s contest against the Dallas Mavericks.

John Collins missed Wednesday’s game due to a knee issue, but he’s back for Saturday as well. Jordan Clarkson will be unable to play for the third straight game because of a foot issue, while Kyle Filipowski will be out for his fourth straight game due to a leg issue.
