A source tells @clevelanddotcom that #Cavs are looking at Lauri Markkanen’s right ankle in the locker room. Not knee or Achilles. The initial feel is that it’s a pretty good sprain. – 9:16 PM

Prayers up to Lauri Markkanen, who came down incredibly hard on his right ankle & was helped off the floor by teammates.
Will update you when I know more. pic.twitter.com/TCkexumo0k9:02 PM

#Cavs Lauri Markkanen assisted off the court by two teammates. Putting very little weight on his right leg. It looked bad on replay and Markkanen was in a lot of pain. – 8:59 PM

#Cavs Lauri Markkanen returned back to Chicago for the first time in the regular season since the trade this past summer.
He scored a season-high 28 pts in the Cavs’ loss to the Bulls.
He’s been finding ways to build on his offensive presence.
