  • Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Out again

    Kalkbrenner (elbow) won't play in Monday's game against Milwaukee.

    Kalkbrenner will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest due to a sprained left elbow. Moussa Diabate will likely draw another start at center while PJ Hall could enter the rotation. Kalkbrenner's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Golden State.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Unlikely to play Sunday

    Landale (calf) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

    Landale has gone from questionable to doubtful for Sunday's contest due to a sore right calf. If Landale winds up sitting, Christian Koloko would serve as the team's backup center once again.

  • Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Good to go

    Jackson-Davis (illness) is available for Sunday's game against Toronto.

    Jackson-Davis was added to the injury report Sunday morning with an illness, but he's feeling well enough to suit up. The third-year center is averaging 4.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 21 appearances this season.

  • John Collins PF | LAC

    Clippers' John Collins: Downgraded to questionable

    Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

    Collins was a late addition to the injury report, which isn't an encouraging sign for his availability ahead of tipoff at 9:00 p.m. ET. If the 28-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Nicolas Batum could see increased playing time, while Kobe Brown might enter the Clippers rotation.

  • Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Out Monday, but now day-to-day

    Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Oklahoma City but will be considered day-to-day afterward, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Porzingis has missed 12 of Atlanta's last 13 games due to an autonomic condition he has battled since last season. The veteran big man is seemingly on the mend, however, and he's apparently made enough progress that the Hawks are optimistic that he could be back later this week. Once he's cleared to play, Porzingis will likely have his minutes monitored and could come off the bench initially as the Hawks ease him back into action. His return would likely result in a lower minutes ceiling for Onyeka Okongwu, while one of Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell could get cut out of the rotation entirely. Porzingis' next chance to play will come Wednesday against Minnesota.

  • Goga Bitadze C | ORL

    Magic's Goga Bitadze: Questionable to face Raptors

    Bitadze (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Toronto.

    Bitadze has already missed three games with a strained left knee, and his availability for Monday's game remains up in the air. While Bitadze has been sidelined, Jonathan Isaac has seen an uptick in playing time.

  • Jaxson Hayes C | LAL

    Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Officially out

    Hayes (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.

    Hayes was initially considered doubtful, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. The reserve center is battling left ankle soreness. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against Detroit. In the meantime, Jarred Vanderbilt and Maxi Kleber could see more center minutes.

  • Bam Adebayo PF | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Probable for Monday

    Adebayo (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Adebayo is likely to return from a two-game absence due to lower-back soreness, which would leave fewer minutes available for Nikola Jovic. Adebayo has struggled on the offensive end of late, averaging 11.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 37.5 percent from the field in 33.8 minutes per game in his last four outings.

  • Timberwolves' Rocco Zikarsky: Moved down to G League

    The Timberwolves assigned Zikarsky to their G League affiliate on Sunday.

    Zikarsky was brought up from the G League on Tuesday but didn't appear in an NBA game. The 45th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft has yet to make his NBA debut.

  • Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Downgraded to questionable

    Jackson-Davis (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

    Jackson-Davis was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, which doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up in the front end of Golden State's back-to-back set. If the big man is ultimately ruled out, Al Horford and Quinten Post are candidates for a slight bump in playing time.
