  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Available to return

    Davis (groin) is available to return during Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    The superstar collided with John Collins on a screen -- which was later called a Flagrant 1 foul on Collins -- in the third quarter and went back to the locker room. However, Davis is good to go if need be, though with the game nearing its end it wouldn't come as a shock if he remains sidelined.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Leaves for locker room Tuesday

    Davis (groin) went back to the locker room in the third quarter of Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    The superstar collided with John Collins on a screen -- which was later called a Flagrant 1 foul on Collins -- and stayed in briefly before checking out and heading to the locker room. If Davis is unable to return, Christian Koloko is expected to pick up the slack the rest of the way.

  • Jay Huff C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Limited minutes in loss

    Huff supplied six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets.

    Huff managed just 13 minutes despite the fact the Grizzlies were without Zach Edey due to an ankle injury. While Brandon Clarke continues to start at center, there had been some hope that Huff would step into a larger role. Up against a Nuggets team without their own starting center, Nikola Jokic (personal), this may have been an unfortunate matchup for Huff. He remains an elite per-minute producer, and while this was not a great outing, his role is worth monitoring moving forward.

  • Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Dusted off in victory

    Jordan posted four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds and one steal over eight minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 victory over Memphis.

    Jordan was dusted off once again, playing minutes as the backup center after Nikola Jokic was once again ruled out due to personal reasons. Primarily serving as a veteran leader in the locker room, there is no reason to think Jordan's role will extend beyond spot minutes when the Nuggets are shorthanded.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Good to go against Utah

    Davis is available and in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite continuing to deal with left foot plantar fasciitis. There is no indication that the superstar big man will operate on a minutes restriction, as he logged at least 32 minutes in each of his last three appearances.

  • Warriors' Kevon Looney: Probable for Wednesday

    Looney (illness) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

    Looney could miss his second consecutive game Wednesday, though the probable tag suggests he is nearing a return to game action. The 28-year-old has averaged 6.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 15.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

  • Jusuf Nurkic C | PHO

    Suns' Jusuf Nurkic: Questionable for Wednesday

    Nurkic (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

    Nurkic continues to deal with a left ankle sprain, and after missing the game against the Magic on Monday, he'll be a game-time call for Wednesday's contest. If Nurkic can't go, then Oso Ighodaro and Mason Plumlee would be in line to see more minutes in a depleted Suns frontcourt.

  • Moses Brown C | IND

    Pacers' Moses Brown: Available to play Wednesday

    Brown (recently signed) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

    Brown signed with the Pacers earlier this week and is seemingly available to make his team debut against Houston. The 25-year-old big man is expected to compete for depth minutes in Indiana's frontcourt.

  • Myles Turner C | IND

    Pacers' Myles Turner: Deemed questionable for Wednesday

    Turner (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

    Turner sat during Monday's loss to the Raptors due to right calf soreness, though coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday that the big man will likely return to the lineup for Wednesday's game, according to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star. With both Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (Achilles) out for the year, the club will turn to Enrique Freeman if Turner is unable to return.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Moves back to bench Tuesday

    Queta is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Queta will head to the bench for this game since the Celtics will play their best possible starting unit. Queta has averaged 4.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game when playing off the bench this season.
