Queta exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an apparent left ankle injury, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Queta landed awkwardly on his left ankle and exited to the locker room after logging under six minutes. Nikola Vucevic and Luka Garza should handle the center minutes if Queta isn't cleared to return.

Missi (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Missi was added to the injury report less than 30 minutes before tipoff due to left calf soreness, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. If he's ultimately ruled out, Karlo Matkovic would likely see a bump in minutes behind Derik Queen.

Sengun (leg) is available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Sengun was initially listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there for Wednesday's rematch. The All-Star center is averaging 20.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 6.3 assists 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per game this season.

Huff is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Huff will supplant Micah Potter in the first unit for Wednesday's contest. Huff is averaging 10.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.1 blocks in 22.3 minutes across 30 starts this season.

Sharpe will start Wednesday's game against the Pacers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

With Nic Claxton (hip) out, Sharpe will get the starting nod in Brooklyn's final game before the All-Star break. As a starter this season (three games), the big man has averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.3 combined steals-plus-blocks across 30.7 minutes per game.

Drummond will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Adem Bona will replace Drummond in the first unit for Wednesday's game, and it'll be interesting to see how many minutes Drummond earns as a reserve with Joel Embiid (knee) watching from the sidelines. In 20 games off the bench this season, Drummond has posted averages of 5.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

Reed is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Toronto, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart are suspended for this one, leaving starting center duties for Reed. In six starts this season, Reed is averaging 11.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.2 blocks across 26.7 minutes.

Sims will start Wednesday's game against the Magic.

The 27-year-old big man will return to the first unit due to Ryan Rollins (foot) being sidelined. As a starter this season (five games), Sims has averaged 2.8 points and 7.0 rebounds in 25.8 minutes per game.

Kalkbrenner is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Hawks.

Kalkbrenner is getting the start due to Moussa Diabate (suspension) being unavailable, and the former will be joined in the first unit by LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel and Grant Williams. Over 26 starts this season, Kalkbrenner has registered averages of 8.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game.

Sarr (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

Sarr will miss the Wizards' final game before the All-Star break due to right hamstring tightness. With Tristan Vukcevic (illness) also sidelined, Washington will have to get creative with its center minutes. Anthony Gill figures to be one of the top options at the five spot. The Wizards will come out of the All-Star break with a back-to-back set against Indiana that begins Feb. 19.
