Queta (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

The toe sprain is a new concern for Queta, who has missed just two games since the All-Star break. If the big man is unable to suit up in the front end of this back-to-back, Nikola Vucevic and Luka Garza would be candidates to take on expanded roles.

Bassey (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Bassey is a new addition to the injury report with a left ankle sprain. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out, Bassey could see a sizable role if he's cleared to play.

Porzingis is listed out for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to general illness management.

After missing Tuesday's 110-105 win over the Kings due to a knee issue, Porzingis is now being held out of the first leg of a back-to-back set for illness management. His absence Thursday could open up elevated playing time once again for Charles Bassey (ankle), who is listed as questionable after logging 27 minutes Tuesday.

Carter (questionable) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Carter was initially carrying a questionable tag due to a nasal fracture, but the big man will suit up and should handle his regular workload down low. Carter is averaging 13.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in 19 appearances since the beginning of March.

Williams (rest) is out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

As expected, Williams will be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set for maintenance. During Tuesday's game against Houston, he was solid with 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and three steals across 28 minutes.

Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

The veteran center will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set, joining Anthony Edwards (knee), Julius Randle (hand), Ayo Dosunmu (rest) and Mike Conley (rest) on the inactive list. With Gobert out, Naz Reid should take on an expanded role, while Joan Beringer will likely see a significant bump in minutes.

Gafford (shoulder) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Gafford is set to miss his second straight contest Wednesday. With Gafford expected to be sidelined, Dwight Powell, Marvin Bagley and Moussa Cisse are candidates to see increased run.

Olbrich (foot) is probable for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Olbrich is likely to play through soreness in both feet for the front end of this back-to-back set. He's averaging 12.6 minutes per game across his last eight appearances.

Richards (elbow) is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Richards will be sidelined for an eighth straight contest and remains without a timetable to return. Consider him doubtful for Friday's game against Orlando.

Turner (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Turner will be sidelined for a second straight contest. The Bucks are likely to proceed with caution given where they are in the standings. Jericho Sims and Pete Nance are likely to see sizable workloads with this news.
