Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Ruled out for Wednesday
Wembanyama (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Wembanyama will miss his 12th consecutive contest due to a left calf strain. However, the star big man was a full participant in Sunday's practice, which bodes well for his chances of returning in the near future. With the 21-year-old remaining on the shelf, Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk are candidates for increased minutes.

Towns missed Sunday's win over the Magic due to left calf tightness. He was initially listed as questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup contest, but it appears the veteran big man will be available to play.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Listed out for Wednesday
Hartenstein (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
The Thunder are expected to re-evaluate Hartenstein in the near future, but the 27-year-old center isn't ready for game action yet. Jaylin Williams should hang onto meaningful minutes for the time being.

Jarrett Allen C | CLE
Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Goes through practice Tuesday
Allen (finger) fully practiced Tuesday, according to Cavaliers reporter Danny Cunningham.
Allen appears to be trending in the right direction following a five-game absence. The Cavaliers don't play again until Friday against the Wizards, giving the center even more time to ramp back up to 100 percent.

Isaiah Jackson C | IND
Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Falling behind Huff at center
Jackson totaled zero points (0-2 FG), seven rebounds, two blocks and three steals in 17 minutes during Monday's 116-105 win over the Kings.
Jackson drew some preseason sleeper buzz following Myles Turner's offseason departure, but the former simply hasn't been able to gain much traction in 2025-26. Jay Huff appears to be taking over at center, leading the league with 2.5 blocks per game. As for Jackson, he has averaged an efficient 7.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 18.0 minutes per contest over his last six games (no starts), though Monday's scoreless outing was his first since the season opener.

Naz Reid C | MIN
Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Woeful shooting display off bench
Reid ended with six points (2-12 FG, 2-10 3Pt), nine rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
Despite Rudy Gobert's ejection in the third quarter, Reid couldn't find his shooting touch Monday and failed to capitalize on the extra minutes. Even so, Reid has been very effective overall of late, averaging 15.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.8 minutes per contest over his last 13 games.
