Lauri Markkanen: Returning to practice Thursday

The rookie’s status for Friday’s game against the Pacers is still yet to be
determined, but he is set to be evaluated following Thursday’s session.
Markkanen is coming off a performance Tuesday where he scored a season-low 12
points, while Bobby Portis exploded off the bench in his season debut for 21
points and 13 rebounds, so healthy or not, Markkanen could be at risk of seeing
a decrease in minutes with Portis’ return.
