Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Robinson returned last week following a 50-game absence and appeared in back-to-back games, totaling 15 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks in 32 minutes. However, he missed Sunday's 113-112 loss to the Thunder and is in danger of being sidelined again Tuesday. If that's the case, Precious Achiuwa would likely see elevated minutes as the primary backup center to Isaiah Hartenstein.

Richards (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Boston.

Richards was questionable for Monday's matchup, and he'll be unavailable in the second half of a back-to-back set due to plantar fascia in his right foot. Grant Williams and Aleksej Pokusevski are candidates to see increased playing time, while Richards' next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Boucher (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers and remains out indefinitely, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Boucher suffered a partial MCL tear in his right knee in early March and doesn't have a return timetable. It wouldn't be surprising if Boucher misses the rest of the 2023-24 regular season.

Porzinigs (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Hornets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Porzingis will shake off a questionable tag and suit up for a fourth straight game. Over his last six appearances, the talented big man has averaged 18.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals in 30.2 minutes per game.

Hayes (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Hayes was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's win over the Nets due to a calf contusion but will likely suit up Tuesday, which is the second half of a back-to-back set. In March (13 games), Hayes has averaged 5.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 15.2 minutes per game.

Davis (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis is listed as questionable for a second straight game with a left knee hyperextension designation. He got the green light Sunday and posted 24 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks in 35 minutes during a 116-104 win over Brooklyn. However, Tuesday is the front half of a back-to-back set, so the Lakers may opt to proceed with caution. LeBron James (ankle) is also questionable for Tuesday.

The Hawks announced Monday that Okongwu (toe) will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days.

Okongwu has been cleared to resume basketball activities, but based on his re-evaluation timeline, he's set to miss at least four games, and perhaps even the rest of the regular season. While Okongwu has been sidelined since March 21 with the left toe sprain, Bruno Fernando has re-entered head coach Quin Snyder's rotation as the top backup to starting center Clint Capela.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN and Shams Charania of The Athletic both reported earlier Monday that Embiid -- who's been sidelined since Jan. 30 while recovering from left meniscus surgery -- is expected to return sometime this week. However, the reigning MVP will miss at least one more game and turn his sights on suiting up during Philadelphia's upcoming three-game road trip, which starts Thursday in Miami and ends Sunday in San Antonio.

Richards is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics due to plantar fascia in his right foot.

Richards and Vasilije Micic (shoulder) are both questionable for the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set after playing heavy minutes during Sunday's loss to the Clippers. If Richards is sidelined, the Hornets won't have a true center available, so Grant Williams, JT Thor, Davis Bertans and Miles Bridges could all see time as a small-ball five.

Miami recalled Robinson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Sunday.

Robinson played one minute during Sunday's 119-107 win over the Wizards but didn't record any counting stats. He's appeared in five of Miami's last six games, totaling eight points, five rebounds, five assists and one block in 25 minutes.
