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.

Karl-Anthony Towns C | NY
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.

Mark Williams C | PHO
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.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Unavailable for Wednesday
Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Spurs' Luke Kornet: Ruled out for Wednesday
Kornet (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Kornet will sit out Wednesday's contest due to right knee injury management, and his next opportunity to play will come Saturday in Milwaukee. Kelly Olynyk and Mason Plumlee are candidates to see increased playing time behind Victor Wembanyama in Kornet's absence.

Jakob Poeltl C | TOR
Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Game-time decision for Wednesday
Poeltl (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Poeltl sat out Monday's matchup with Utah due to lower-back injury management, and he remains listed on the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's tilt. The veteran center hasn't missed two straight games since returning from a back sprain in mid-February, but he'll likely still need to prove his health before gaining clearance to take the court in Los Angeles.
