Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Pours in 30 points in return
Wembanyama logged 30 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during the Spurs' 106-105 loss to the Grizzlies on Tuesday.
Wembanyama was cleared to return Tuesday from a two-game absence due to a hyperextended left knee. He finished as the game's leading scorer and tallied 12 of his 30 points in the third quarter, but in an effort to limit his playing time, Wembanyama was not on the floor for the final 3:26 of the game. The Spurs play the second leg of their back-to-back set Wednesday against the Lakers, and it's unclear whether the superstar center will be available for that contest.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Swats four shots vs. Orlando
Sarr posted 23 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during the Wizards' 120-112 win over the Magic on Tuesday.
Sarr finished Tuesday's game as the Wizards' second-leading scorer behind CJ McCollum (27 points), but it was the former's defensive prowess that was on full display during the win. Sarr has recorded at least three blocks in six of his last eight outings, including a six-block performance against the Grizzlies on Dec. 28. The second-year center leads the Association with 2.3 blocks per game and is also averaging 17.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.1 threes and 0.8 steals over 28.4 minutes per game this season.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Coming off bench Tuesday
Wembanyama (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, though he'll come off the bench and operate under an unspecified minutes restriction, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

Depending on how he feels after Tuesday's matchup, the star big man is expected to be listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, according to Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News. Over six appearances off the bench this season, Wembanyama has averaged 18.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 blocks in 21.5 minutes per tilt.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Another absence coming
Hartenstein is out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to a right soleus strain.
Wednesday is set to be a sixth straight absence for Hartenstein, who appears to have no definitive timeline for a return to the court. With Alex Caruso (back) sidelined, Luguentz Dort and Aaron Wiggins should slide over to power forward more frequently while Chet Holmgren soaks up the bulk of the center minutes in Hartenstein's place.
