Carter is questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas with a sore left ankle.

Carter is in danger of missing consecutive outings with the ailment. Goga Bitadze would likely start at center if Carter is out again, with Moritz Wagner filling out the backup minutes in this case.

Porzingis (illness) is out for Thursday's game against Houston.

Porzingis is traveling with the Warriors on their three-game road trip, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com, which should give him a good chance of playing at some point this week. With the star big man sitting out Thursday, Draymond Green and Al Horford should push for minutes in the 30s.

Gafford accumulated 10 points (5-8 FG), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.

Gafford put together a solid outing, but he continues to have his minutes dialed back. Over his last 11 games, he's averaging 22.4 minutes per contest with 8.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.5 blocks. There's been no indication that his minutes will trend up.

Wembanyama ended Tuesday's 131-91 victory over Philadelphia with 10 points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, six blocks and three steals in 24 minutes.

Tuesday's game wasn't close, so head coach Mitch Johnson had the luxury of giving his starters some extra rest. Over his last six appearances, Wembanyama has averaged 18.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4.5 blocks, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 29.9 minutes per game.

Aldama (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Aldama will be sidelined for a 12th straight game. He was initially cleared to play in Tuesday's game against Minnesota, only for the team to change course roughly 30 minutes before tipoff.

Carlson (back) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Oklahoma City's third-string center will be sidelined for a fourth straight game. His next chance to play comes Saturday against Golden State.

Hartenstein (calf) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Hartenstein missed Tuesday's game against the Bulls due to injury management, but he's ready to roll Wednesday. The veteran big man is averaging 8.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 23.5 minutes per game over his last 10 outings, and he should force Aaron Wiggins from the starting five.

Robinson (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

As he usually does, Robinson will sit for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Robinson sidelined, the Knicks will likely turn to Ariel Hukporti as their backup center Wednesday.

Cisse (two-way) was inactive for Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.

Cisse had appeared in each of the Mavericks' previous three games and averaged 3.3 points and 8.3 rebounds in 13.7 minutes over that stretch, but Dallas opted to hold him out Tuesday in an effort to preserve his availability for the remainder of the season. Since the two-way center has already suited up for 45 games at the NBA level this season, he'll be eligible to play in just five of the team's remaining 21 contests unless the Mavericks upgrade him to a standard contract.

Richards registered 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 116-108 loss to the Thunder.

The 28-year-old center has only two double-doubles on the season, but they've both come in the last three games. Richards is handling a larger role than expected in the Chicago frontcourt due to injuries, and in 10 games since coming over from Phoenix, he's averaging 9.5 points, 7.5 boards and 0.9 blocks in 21.9 minutes a contest. With Jalen Smith (calf) set to return soon, however, Richards' role will likely shrink.
