Robinson is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings due to left ankle management.

Thursday's matchup is the first half of a back-to-back set, and Robinson, who continues to work his way back to full strength following a lengthy absence, will likely miss at least one of the Knicks' next two games. If Robinson misses time, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims would be candidates for extra minutes behind Isaiah Hartenstein.

Wizards interim head coach Brian Keefe said Wednesday that Bagley (knee) is being viewed as week-to-week, Bijan Todd of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Bagley has already been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Lakers due to a right knee sprain, which he suffered in Tuesday's 117-113 win over the Bucks. Given that there are less than two weeks left in the regular season, Bagley's 2023-24 campaign is almost certainly over, but Washington may re-evaluate him at some point in the middle of next week before making an official call on his status. With Richaun Holmes (toe) joining Bagley in street clothes for at least Wednesday's game, Tristan Vukcevic and Eugene Omoruyi could take on most of the minutes at center.

Holmes (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Holmes will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game Wednesday, with Marvin Bagley also set to join him in street clothes after spraining his knee in Tuesday's win over the Bucks. Given Bagley's injury looks to be a season-ending one, Holmes could have an opportunity to reclaim a starting role at center, but he'll first have to move past a sprained left big toe. Look for Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Eugene Omoruyi to cover most of the minutes at center Wednesday.

Bamba (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat.

Bamba was a late scratch ahead of Tuesday's win over the shorthanded Thunder and may miss another contest. Joel Embiid (knee), Tyrese Maxey (hip) and Tobias Harris (knee) are also questionable.

Embiid is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat due to left knee injury recovery.

Following a 29-game absence, Embiid returned to action Tuesday and posted 24 points (6-14 FG), seven assists, six rebounds and three steals in 29 minutes during a win over the shorthanded Thunder. It's not surprising to see the 76ers proceed with caution, but they'll likely want to ramp Embiid up to a full workload before the playoffs begin. Tyrese Maxey (hip), Tobias Harris (knee) and Mo Bamba (illness) are also questionable for Thursday.

Bagley (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Bagley didn't return Tuesday after leaving the win over the Bucks in the second quarter due to a right knee sprain. He'll miss the second half of Washington's back-to-back set and turn his sights on suiting up for Friday's matchup against Portland. Richaun Holmes (toe) is questionable, so if both big men are out, Tristan Vukcevic and Eugene Omoruyi would be candidates for increased roles.

Holmes (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Holmes is in danger of missing a fourth straight game due to a left toe contusion. Marvin Bagley (knee) has already been ruled out, so if Holmes is sidelined again, Tristan Vukcevic and Eugene Omoruyi would be candidates for increased roles.

Davis (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis and LeBron James (ankle) are both questionable for the second night of a back-to-back set after the Lakers dominated the Raptors on Tuesday, but they're both expected to suit up. Davis played 28 minutes during the blowout win and posted 21 points (10-20 FG) and 12 rebounds. If cleared, Davis should handle his usual workload versus Washington.

Richards won't play Wednesday against Portland due to right foot plantar fascia discomfort.

Richards has been dealing with the injury for several days but wasn't originally on the injury report for Wednesday's contest. In Richards' absence, the Hornets could utilize smaller lineups, would likely open up more minutes for Grant Williams, Aleksej Pokusevski and JT Thor at center.

Gobert had 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 win over the Rockets.

The towering Frenchman registered a fifth straight double-double while recording multiple blocks for the third time in that stretch. During that five-game stretch, Gobert is averaging 16.0 points, 12.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. He's had to step his game up on the defensive end of the floor due to Karl-Anthony Towns' (knee) absence.
