  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Questionable for Wednesday

    Ayton (back) is questionable for Wednesday against Indiana.

    Ayton was a very late addition to the injury report, though his injury is being described as soreness, which sounds minor. Given the opponent, the Lakers may be contemplating a maintenance day here. If Ayton is held out, Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt would likely be more involved for the Lakers.

    Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Gets surgery on elbow

    The Grizzlies announced that Edey (ankle) underwent a procedure Tuesday to address lingering discomfort in his left elbow.

    Since he's already been in rehab mode and was ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery March 3 to address ongoing discomfort and bone stress in his left ankle, Edey opted to get his aching elbow taken care of with another procedure. Edey is expected to make a full recovery from both the ankle surgery and elbow procedure prior to the start of training camp. Before being shut down in mid-December due to the ankle issue, Edey looked to be in line for a second-year breakout, as he had converted at a 63.3 percent clip from the field and posted averages of 13.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals in 25.8 minutes per game over his 11 appearances. The Grizzlies view the 7-foot-3 big man as a key building block and will plan for him to settle back in as their starting center in 2026-27 so long as he's able to stay healthy.

  • Warriors' Omer Yurtseven: Re-signs with Warriors

    Yurtseven signed a second 10-day contract with the Warriors on Wednesday, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

    This is an expected signing for Golden State's depleted frontcourt. Across five appearances, Yurtseven has averaged 11.2 minutes per contest.

  • Omer Yurtseven: Reaches free agency

    Yurtseven became a free agent Wednesday after his 10-day contract with the Warriors expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    Golden State will have the ability to retain Yurtseven on a second 10-day deal or a rest-of-season contract, but it's unclear if the team intends to re-sign the veteran center prior to Wednesday's game against Brooklyn. Over the course of his initial 10-day deal, Yurtseven averaged 3.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 11.2 minutes per game over his first five appearances before he was left out of the rotation in Monday's 137-131 overtime win over the Mavericks.

  • Celtics' Charles Bassey: Signs another 10-day deal

    Bassey agreed to a second 10-day contract with Boston on Wednesday, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

    During his first stint with Boston, Bassey made two garbage-time appearances and played four minutes in total. He'll continue to be an emergency depth option off the bench but is unlikely to be featured in head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation while Neemias Queta and Luka Garza are both available.

  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Productive again despite loss

    Carter contributed 15 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 136-131 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Carter continues to play a pivotal role for the Magic, despite the fact that he has yet to really blow up. He has been one of the more underrated players this season, quietly going about his business with very little fanfare. Through 68 games, he has been a top-70 player in nine-category leagues, averaging 11.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Delivers monster triple-double

    Jokic finished with 23 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 17 rebounds and 17 assists in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 win over the Suns.

    Jokic was clearly ready to play Tuesday night, as he collected seven points, eight rebounds and eight assists in the first quarter and fell just short of a triple-double in the first half alone. He easily picked up his seventh triple-double of March with a strong second half, pacing the Nuggets in points, rebounds and assists. Jokic also tied his best mark of the season in dimes, a mark he reached one other time this year Feb. 7 against Chicago.

  • Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Will miss rest of 2025-26 season

    The Grizzlies announced Tuesday that Clarke (calf) continues to progress in his rehab but he will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.

    Clarke last played Dec. 20 before being shut down after suffering a Grade 2 right calf strain. Though a recent re-evaluation of Clarke showed that he was progressing, imaging on his calf indicated that he needed further healing before being cleared for high-intensity court work. Since Clarke isn't expected to have enough time to ramp back up before the season comes to an end, he'll be shut down for the remainder of the campaign but is expected to be ready to go for training camp in the fall.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Another double-double Tuesday

    Towns posted 21 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during the Knicks' 121-116 win over the Pelicans on Tuesday.

    Towns' 24 minutes were his fifth-lowest of the season, but the veteran center still led the Knicks in rebounds while finishing tied with OG Anunoby as the team's second-leading scorer behind Jalen Brunson (32 points). Towns has recorded a double-double in five consecutive game and is up to 51 on the season, which is most in the Association. Since March 1, he has averaged 21.7 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.8 steals over 29.8 minutes per game.

  • Suns' Mark Williams: Limited to individual work

    Williams (foot) has yet to advance past individual work, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Williams hasn't played since March 3 due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot, and he'll need to participate in 5-on-5 work before being cleared to return. The big man can be considered doubtful for Saturday's game against the Jazz until the Suns offer an update on his progress. Oso Ighodaro will likely continue to start for as long as Williams is sidelined.
