Porzingis tallied 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during the Hawks' 132-113 loss to the Wizards on Tuesday.

Porzingis returned from a one-game absence Tuesday due to rest purposes, and he led the Hawks in scoring while finishing second in rebounds behind Dyson Daniels (nine). Porzingis has missed seven of Atlanta's first 19 games of the regular season, but he has been an important contributor for the Hawks when he's played, particularly in the prolonged absence of Trae Young (knee). In eight games since Nov. 2, Porzingis has averaged 18.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.9 blocks over 27.1 minutes per game, though he's connected on just 27.8 percent of his three-pointers on 4.5 3PA/G over that span.

Williams (knee) has been cleared to play Wednesday against the Kings.

Williams was held out of Monday's matchup due to right knee injury management. However, he'll be a full go for Wednesday and is averaging 13.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest over his last five games.

Robinson will be deployed off the bench Tuesday against the 76ers.

Robinson drew a rare start Sunday with both Wendell Carter (ankle) and Goga Bitadze (ankle) sidelined. However, Robinson will retreat to his usual bench role now that Orlando's center group has returned to health.

Bitadze (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Bitadze was a late addition to the injury report due to left ankle soreness, though he'll shed his questionable tag and suit up after missing Sunday's loss to Boston. Over his last five appearances, the backup center has averaged 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per contest.

Okongwu will come off the bench Tuesday against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Okongwu stepped into the starting lineup Sunday given the absence of Kristaps Porzingis, but the USC product will operate as a reserve Tuesday night. Okongwu has scored in double figures in each of his last three appearances off the bench.

Adams (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Adams has been a regular on the injury report the last week due to right ankle tendinopathy, and he'll miss his first game since Nov. 5 on Wednesday. With the veteran big man sidelined, Clint Capela will likely see increased playing time, while Jeff Green and Isaiah Crawford are candidates to enter the rotation. Adams' next chance to play will come Sunday against the Jazz.

Edey is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans due to a migraine.

Edey exited Monday's loss to the Nuggets in the first quarter due to the head issue and didn't return. Now, he's in jeopardy of missing Wednesday's contest after suiting up in each of the Grizzlies' last five games. If the second-year center is ultimately ruled out, Jock Landale and Santi Aldama are candidates for increased roles.

Bagley (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

Bagley is set for a third straight absence due to a right hip contusion. Alex Sarr and Tristan Vukcevic are candidates for increased minutes with Bagley sidelined once again.

Kalkbrenner (ankle) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

After a sprained ankle cost him Sunday's game against the Hawks, the rookie big man is all set to return to the floor. Fewer minutes should be open to Mason Plumlee and Moussa Diabate on Wednesday. Kalkbrenner has averaged 8.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 24.4 minutes per contest over 10 games this month.

Robinson (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Charlotte.

Robinson was a late scratch Monday against the Nets, but he's no longer appearing on the official injury report. New York's starting center is averaging just 17.1 minutes per game this season as the team continues to monitor his minutes very closely.
