Wembanyama (knee) is likely to travel to Memphis for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

According to head coach Mitch Johnson, Wembanyama is "looking really good," and he expects the big man to join the team on the trip. He also said the star center is day-to-day. The Spurs have been super cautious with Wembanyama previously, and it's worth mentioning that Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set.

Raynaud's MRI on his left knee showed no structural damage, and he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Bucks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Raynaud hurt his knee in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to the Suns and required assistance getting back to the locker room. However, the rookie second-rounder avoided a serious injury and will suit up against Milwaukee. The 22-year-old center has racked up five double-doubles over his last 10 appearances, averaging 13.9 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 31.0 minutes per contest during that span.

Allen (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Allen is a new addition to the injury report for Cleveland. If he's unable to shake off this questionable tag, guys like Thomas Bryant and Dean Wade could be asked to step up in the frontcourt.

Jackson (concussion) will not play Sunday against Orlando.

Jackson will miss his seventh game in a row and remains without a target date to return. In the meantime, the Pacers will likely keep giving Micah Potter an extended look at center.

Claxton (personal) will not play Sunday against the Nuggets.

Claxton is set to miss a second straight game Sunday. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against Orlando. Day'Ron Sharpe could be in line for another start after a terrific showing against the Wizards on Friday.

Horford won't play Saturday against the Jazz due to left toe injury management.

Horford hasn't played both ends of back-to-back sets for the last few seasons, so his absence Saturday was fully expected. During Friday's 131-94 loss to the Thunder, Horford recorded 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two blocks in 16 minutes off the bench.

Adebayo (back) is available for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Zachary Weinberger of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Adebayo was tabbed probable for Saturday's contest due to mild low back soreness, but he'll officially be good to go. The star big man is averaging 17.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals across 31.0 minutes per game this season.

Kalkbrenner (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Chicago.

It'll be Kalkbrenner's seventh straight absence as the rookie center battles a sprained left elbow. With Moussa Diabate (wrist) also sidelined, PJ Hall and Tidjane Salaun are slated to handle expanded roles. Kalkbrenner's next chance to play will come Monday at Oklahoma City.

Nurkic (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Golden State.

Nurkic will miss a second straight game due to a sprained toe on his left foot. Kyle Filipowski will likely draw another start Saturday night, while Kevin Love could see a bump in minutes. Nurkic's next chance to play will come Monday at Portland.

Adams (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Adams will end up missing a second consecutive game while recovering from a sprained right ankle, and his next chance to play is Monday against the Suns. Clint Capela stands to absorb most of the backup center minutes behind Alperen Sengun in Adams' absence.
