Sharpe had his wrist evaluated by the training staff after taking a hard fall during Monday's 106-102 loss to Memphis, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. He finished with four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 14 minutes.

Sharpe's status will need to be monitored as Brooklyn closes a back-to-back set Tuesday against Philadelphia. Interim head coach Kevin Ollie noted postgame that he had "no update" on Sharpe's expected availability for Tuesday, per Barnes. Nic Claxton took on the lion's share of the workload at center Monday, delivering 21 points (8-10 FG) and six rebounds in 33 minutes.

Davis (Achilles) will play Monday against Oklahoma City, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis will suit up for a 13th consecutive contest Monday, and he is joined by LeBron James (ankle) and Cam Reddish (ankle) in being cleared for action. Davis has torched the Thunder across three appearances this season, averaging 28.0 points, 13.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists while fueling a 2-1 record for the Lakers.

Wembanyama is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets due to left shoulder soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

According to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News, Wembanyama picked up the injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Pacers when Myles Turner committed a foul on the rookie forward. As a result, Wembanyama's status will be worth monitoring leading up to Tuesday's tipoff. Zach Collins would likely be in line for the start at center if Wembanyama is unable to go.

Nurkic is questionable for Tuesday's game against Denver due to right calf tightness.

Nurkic ripped down a franchise-record 31 rebounds for Phoenix in Sunday's loss to the Thunder, although his status will need to be monitored in advance of Tuesday's contest. Royce O'Neale would be a candidate for small-ball center minutes if Nurkic can't suit up Tuesday, while Drew Eubanks and Thaddeus Young would likely enter the mix as a platoon as well.

Jemison is starting Monday's game against the Nets.

Jemison didn't see any run in Saturday's matchup against the Blazers, but he'll get an opportunity to run with the first unit Monday evening. Lamar Stevens will come off the bench as a result.

Ayton (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Ayton, Matisse Thybulle (hip), Toumani Camara (illness) and Jerami Grant (quad) have all been downgraded to out, so Portland will rely on a bevy of depth options. Duop Reath should continue to be the primary beneficiary of Ayton's absence, while the latter's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Thunder.

Porzingis (quad) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavs.

If Porzingis is forced to spend another game on the sidelines, Al Horford would likely get another start and there would be more minutes available for Xavier Tillman and Oshae Brissett. Check back for another update on Porzingis following Tuesday's shootaround.

Richards (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Richards missed Sunday's loss to Toronto, which resulted in Grant Williams filling the void at center on his way to 40 minutes. If Richards is again forced to the sidelines, Williams should continue to get all the run he can handle as a small-ball five.

Kleber is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Indiana with left knee soreness, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning Newsreports.

The Mavericks are a little banged up heading into Tuesday. Derrick Jones (shoulder) and Luka Doncic (ankle) are also carrying questionable tags for Dallas. Kleber has averaged 24.6 minutes over his past five games with 3.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

Carter accumulated 19 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 113-91 victory over Detroit.

Carter is off to a strong start in March after a relatively quiet February. During those 12 games, he averaged 12.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 three-pointers, but his defense took a step back with 0.3 blocks and 0.3 steals.
