Hayes won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves due to back soreness.

Hayes was a late addition to the injury report, so it appears the back issue flared up at some point during pre-game warmups. Maxi Kleber (back) is also out, so Drew Timme will be the favorite to get run as the backup center Tuesday evening.

Kleber (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.

Kleber was an extremely late addition to the injury report and won't suit up Tuesday due to a back strain. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Chicago. With the big man sidelined, Jarred Vanderbilt could see a bump in minutes.

Post has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls due to bilateral foot soreness.

Post will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set, though his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation with Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis both available. Post's next chance to play will come Friday against the Timberwolves.

The Trail Blazers assigned Hansen to the G League's Rip City Remix on Tuesday.

As such, Hansen won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets. The rookie first-rounder has bounced back and forth between the G League and NBA this season, but he has not played double-digit minutes for Portland since Jan. 27 against Washington. In his last G League outing against the Valley Suns on Saturday, Hansen finished with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes.

Sims (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Sims is dealing with a right knee issue and won't suit up Tuesday. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday in Miami. With Bobby Portis (back) also sidelined, Pete Nance, Kyle Kuzma and Ousmane Dieng are candidates to see increased minutes Tuesday.

Poeltl is out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets with an illness, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Poeltl faces a short turnaround if he hopes to suit up for Wednesday's matchup against the Pelicans. With Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) also sidelined, Sandro Mamukelashvili should get the spot start at center Tuesday and is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Robinson (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Robinson sat out Monday's loss to the Clippers -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left ankle injury management. However, the big man is set to return Wednesday. Over four March appearances, he has averaged 5.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 16.5 minutes per contest.

Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Allen is set to miss a third consecutive game while working through a right knee injury, and his next opportunity to play is Friday against the Mavericks. Evan Mobley should continue to start at center in Allen's absence, while Thomas Bryant and Jaylon Tyson should both see more minutes in the rotation.

Beringer has been recalled from the G League's Iowa Wolves and is available for the Timberwolves' game against the Lakers on Tuesday.

Minnesota is halting Beringer's G League assignment, summoning the rookie first-rounder from Iowa. Beringer has averaged 3.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in 6.8 minutes per contest through 30 NBA games this season, and he's unlikely to see meaningful playing time Tuesday on a healthy Timberwolves squad.

Post is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls due to bilateral foot soreness.

Post could sit out the second half of Golden State's back-to-back set Tuesday. Regardless of Post's status, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are in line to share the center minutes Tuesday.
