  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Off injury report

    Hartenstein (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

    Hartenstein sat out Monday's overtime win over Detroit -- the second half of a back-to-back set -- due to soleus injury management. However, he's set to return to action Thursday. Over his last five outings, the big man has averaged 7.4 points, 13.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.8 steals in 23.4 minutes per contest.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Hawks' Jock Landale: Cleared to play Wednesday

    Landale (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus Orlando.

    Landale didn't play in Monday's 112-102 win over Boston. He was questionable heading into Wednesday's contest, though he has now been cleared to suit up. With Landale back in the lineup, Mouhamed Gueye likely won't see much action.

  • PJ Hall C | CHA

    Hornets' PJ Hall: Out Thursday with ankle injury

    Hall has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns due to a sore right ankle.

    The big man rejoined the Hornets after he presumably sustained the injury Tuesday, when he logged 18 minutes in the G League Greensboro Swarm's 112-90 win over the Maine Celtics in the first round of the G League playoffs. The severity of the injury isn't known, but the Hornets' decision to recall him from the G League suggests that he won't be available for the Swarm's next game Friday.

  • Suns' Mark Williams: Could return Thursday

    Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Williams has been progressing in his recovery from a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot. It's an injury that has prevented him from playing since March 3, but he was recently cleared for 5-on-5 at practice, and the fact that he's earned the questionable tag for Thursday's game -- rather than being ruled out immediately -- is a good sign for the fourth-year center. Should Williams return, Oso Ighodaro would likely see his role decrease in the Suns' rotation, though the former will likely operate under a minutes restriction once he's cleared to play.

  • PJ Hall C | CHA

    Hornets' PJ Hall: Returns from G League

    The Hornets recalled Hall from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday.

    Hall had been on assignment with the G League's Greensboro Swarm but rejoined the parent club after the affiliate's 112-90 win over the Maine Celtics in the first round of the G League playoffs. He played 18 minutes in the victory, finishing with 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two steals.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Won't play Wednesday

    Embiid (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

    After not being listed on the initial injury report, which dropped Tuesday, Embiid popped up Wednesday morning as out due to an illness. He then posted on X saying he was going to play through the ailment, which wouldn't have been surprising after he did so Monday in Miami, posting 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes. However, Embiid has since posted on X again, saying that the organization is indeed shutting him down against Washington. Team president Daryl Morey confirmed Embiid will be out, saying the center missed the team's morning film session and will be checked out by a doctor, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Returns from G League stint

    The Raptors recalled Jackson-Davis from the G League's Raptors 905 on Wednesday.

    Jackson-Davis wasn't available for the Raptors' 127-116 loss to Detroit on Tuesday while he was on assignment in the G League, but he'll suit up for the parent club in the second leg of its back-to-back set Wednesday versus the Kings. The third-year big man received some extended run Tuesday with the 905 in a 120-105 loss to the Motor City Cruise in the first round of the G League playoffs, playing 28 minutes and finishing with 18 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Status in doubt

    Embiid (illness) is officially listed as out on Philadelphia's injury report, but the superstar big man posted on X saying he was going to play Wednesday against the Wizards.

    Embiid wasn't listed on the initial injury report, which dropped Tuesday, but he popped up Wednesday morning as out due to an illness. He played through an ailment Monday in Miami, posting 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes, so the downgrade was surprising. The 76ers have yet to officially upgrade Embiid, and fantasy managers should assume he won't play until that happens. Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com suggests that Embiid's post was a joke for April Fools' Day.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Ruled out Wednesday

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

    Turner will get a maintenance day for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Bucks are extremely thin up front, and that could result in more minutes for Jericho Sims and Pete Nance.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Confirmed out for Wednesday

    Robinson (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

    As per usual, Robinson will be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. He's expected back in the rotation Friday against the Bulls. Ariel Hukporti could pick up some backup center minutes with this news.
