Duren is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a right ankle sprain.

Duren has been on a tear of late with four straight double-doubles, averaging 23.0 points, 15.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per game in that stretch. The probable tag suggests the big man should be able to play and handle his regular workload Wednesday, though in the event he's not able to do so, Paul Reed and Isaiah Stewart (ankle) would be next in line to handle minutes at center.

Charlotte recalled Plumlee from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday.

Plumlee is back with Charlotte after spending the afternoon with the Swarm to get some practice reps alongside LaMelo Ball (ankle). Plumlee has been unable to crack the rotation in Charlotte outside of a few brief appearances.

Sabonis (ribs) is good to go for Tuesday's game against Denver, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis was able to shake off a questionable tag for this contest. The Kings are off to a shaky start, but Sabonis' production has been solid with 15.3 points, 14.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists through seven regular-season appearances.

Horford (toe) is out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Horford is out for the first half of this back-to-back set. The veteran big man should return Wednesday in San Antonio. Quinten Post should play a larger role Tuesday.

Wagner (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Knicks and doesn't have a return timetable.

Wagner is still recovering from his ACL injury and doesn't appear close to making his season debut. He can be considered week-to-week until Orlando releases an official update.

Embiid (knee) won't play Tuesday against the Celtics, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Embiid wasn't initially on the injury report, but the 76ers will hold him out for knee soreness. His next chance to play comes Friday against Detroit. In the meantime, the 76ers will likely lean on Andre Drummond and Adem Bona.

Adebayo (toe) won't play Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Adebayo will miss a fourth straight game Wednesday, though he is considered day-to-day. His next chance to play comes Friday against the Knicks. In the meantime, Kel'el Ware will likely continue to hold down the fort at center.

Plumlee was assigned to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Plumlee has been out of Charlotte's rotation for the most part, with an average of 3.8 minutes across three appearances. Plumlee is likely just getting some practice reps along with LaMelo Ball (ankle) and will be recalled after the practice.

Reed accumulated eight points (4-5 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal over 13 minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime win over the Wizards.

Reed stepped in for Isaiah Stewart (ankle) and performed well in his place, logging a second consecutive game with a block and at least five rebounds. If Stewart can't go Wednesday against Chicago, Reed will continue to back up Jalen Duren.

Cisse chipped in seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks across 20 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Bucks.

Despite being on a two-way contract, Cisse ended up being second in minutes off the bench only behind Naji Marshall (25). Cisse has also been integral for Dallas, with Dereck Lively (knee) and Anthony Davis (calf) out for the time being, shoring up their defense to the tune of 1.4 blocks per game in his last five contests. Cisse will likely continue to play behind Daniel Gafford until one of the aforementioned big men returns.
