Gobert is questionable to return to Tuesday's game versus the Clippers due to a left rib injury.

Gobert left Tuesday's contest with 7:18 remaining in the fourth quarter after getting undercut by Clippers center Ivica Zubac, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports. With the game almost over, it seems likely that Naz Reid will finish out the matchup at center.

Gobert left Tuesday's game versus the Clippers with 7:18 remaining in the fourth quarter to head to the locker room with an apparent injury to his ribs, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Gobert tallied eight points (4-7 FG), 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest. If Gobert is unable to return, Naz Reid will likely close out the game at center.

Reid left Tuesday's game versus the Clippers with 5:16 remaining in the first quarter after rolling his right ankle but returned with 3:55 remaining in the same period, Jack Borman of Locked on Sports Minnesota reports.

Despite having an injury scare, Reid ultimately missed less than two minutes of action Tuesday. The 24-year-old big man is seemingly available to play out the rest of the game.

Reid will come off the bench against the Clippers on Tuesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Rudy Gobert (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Minnesota, so this is an expected move. Reid stepped up in a big way during Sunday's loss to the Lakers, finishing with 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 42 minutes. While he'll operate off the bench, Reid should still play increased minutes as long as Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) remains sidelined.

Kessler isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Celtics, David Locke of Jazz radio reports.

Kessler will be replaced by Luka Samanic in the starting lineup. Kessler is averaging 8.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.2 assists in 22.8 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Kornet is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz.

With Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) out, Kornet will enter the starting lineup. Kornet is averaging 13.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.0 blocks in 31.5 minutes across his previous two starts this season.

Gobert (hamstring) will play versus the Clippers on Tuesday, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Gobert didn't play Sunday night against the Lakers, but he has the green light to suit up Tuesday, and coach Chris Finch didn't mention any restrictions. Naz Reid is likely to lose some steam with Minnesota getting some reinforcements, but Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) remains out indefinitely.

Jemison will start Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Jaren Jackson (quadriceps) is sitting out Tuesday, as the Grizzlies continue to err on the side of caution with him. In five starts this season, Jemison has averaged 8.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 blocks.

Davis (Achilles) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

This is the usual probable tag that Davis carries, as he continues to battle soreness in both of his heels. Notably, the Lakers didn't mention his shoulder issue, so that issue may be behind him. Either way, the lingering injuries haven't impacted Davis, who has made 16 straight appearances and is averaging 24.3 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.8 blocks and 1.3 steals in 35.6 minutes per game over that stretch.

Wembanyama won't be on any restrictions during Tuesday's game versus the Rockets, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Despite sitting out one leg of San Antonio's back-to-backs earlier in the season, Wembanyama will receive a full workload Tuesday. The rookie phenom has averaged 31.6 minutes per contest across his last five appearances.
