Ighodaro (oblique) is feeling better and considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game against the Nuggets, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Ighodaro hasn't played since the regular-season opener due to an oblique strain, and he can be considered questionable for Friday until the Suns offer an update on his status. If the Marquette product remains sidelined against Denver, Khaman Maluach and Duop Reath would likely continue seeing increased playing time.

Hayes (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

With Jusuf Nurkic (toe) and Jaren Jackson (knee) both sidelined, the Jazz are thin at the center position. If Hayes is available versus the Spurs, he'll presumably start. If not, Kyle Filipowski would likely move into the starting lineup, with Mo Bamba getting more minutes off the bench.

Aldama (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

While Aldama is unlikely to play Wednesday, he appears to be making progress after being sent down to Dallas' G League affiliate on a rehab assignment. Aldama is not expected to have a significant role in the Mavs' rotation this season.

Sorber (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

Sorber is still without a firm timetable for a return to game action. He can be considered week-to-week until the Thunder provide an update on his progress.

Zubac (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Zubac isn't ready to return from an ankle sprain, but the veteran big man remains day-to-day. Jay Huff figures to continue starting for the Pacers in the meantime, with Obi Toppin (hand) also helping plug up the hole at center.

Embiid (foot) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

The star big man is set to return Wednesday after sitting out the second leg of Philadelphia's most recent back-to-back. With the 76ers back at full strength, Dean Wade and Adem Bona should fall into lesser roles.

Fall (quadriceps) is out for Wednesday's game in Indiana.

Fall was able to get through Tuesday's practice, but he'll remain on the inactive list for Wednesday's game. He should continue to be viewed as week-to-week.

Diop (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Diop remains without a clear timetable to return due to a left knee injury. He can be considered week-to-week until the Cavaliers offer an update on his progress.

Sengun (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Sengun is dealing with lower-back soreness and will miss his first game of the season, with his next chance to play coming Friday at Dallas. Tari Eason and Clint Capela are both candidates to see increased playing time in Sengun's stead.

Carlson (concussion) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Carlson is available to make his regular-season debut with Portland after missing the team's first two regular-season games while in the league's concussion protocol. However, he isn't guaranteed to see the floor.
