Lauri Markkanen, initially listed as doubtful with a left ankle sprain, said he'll warm up before Monday's game in an effort to play.

It's good that Markkanen is feeling better, so hopefully this minimizes any time he might miss. Thad Young's starting opportunity hangs in the balance, though we'd still call it unlikely that Markkanen overcomes a same-day doubtful tag, though he has officially been upgraded to questionable.
