  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Picks up leg injury

    Kornet is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Pistons due to a right leg contusion, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Kornet picked up the injury in the first half and was spotted walking to the locker room with the team trainer. Kelly Olynyk could pick up a few extra minutes if Kornet is unable to return.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Iffy for Tuesday

    Reid (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    Reid is in danger of missing a second straight matchup due to a right shoulder injury. The team should have another update on his availability closer to game time.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Warriors' Al Horford: Iffy for Tuesday

    Horford is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to left toe injury management.

    Horford hasn't appeared on the injury report lately for the Warriors, so this appears to be a precautionary listing. The club should have another update on his availability closer to tipoff.

  • Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Probable with ankle sprain

    Kalkbrenner is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls with a sprained left ankle.

    The rookie big man picked up the issue in Sunday's game against the Wizards, but it appears to be of minimal concern. Moussa Diabate is set to return from suspension Tuesday, which is likely to send Kalkbrenner to the bench. Kalkbrenner has started four straight games, averaging 8.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 blocks in 26.3 minutes per tilt.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Set for Tuesday return

    Robinson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Robinson received a rest day Sunday as the team finished off the second half of a back-to-back. He'll be available off the bench in his usual capacity Tuesday. Robinson is averaging 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game over his previous five outings.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Another absence coming

    Missi is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a strained left calf.

    Missi is set for a fourth consecutive absence Tuesday, and his timeline for a return remains in the dark heading into Thursday's clash against the Jazz. DeAndre Jordan and Karlo Matkovic are likely to share the backup center minutes behind Derik Queen on Tuesday.

  • Jaxson Hayes C | LAL

    Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Considered day-to-day

    Hayes is being considered day-to-day after suffering a right ankle injury during Sunday's game against Boston, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    The Lakers have yet to release their injury report for Tuesday's matchup with the Magic, so it remains to be seen what injury tag he'll carry leading up to tipoff. Hayes suffered the injury during the first quarter of Sunday's clash and was unable to return.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Listed as questionable for Tuesday

    Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn.

    Gafford has been a regular on the injury report of late due to a right ankle issue, though he's suited up in each of Dallas' past 11 games. The Arkansas product has started the previous 10 contests and would be expected to retain that role if active, with Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell candidates to step into the starting five should Gafford be ruled out.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Iffy for Tuesday

    Embiid (knee/shin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

    Embiid has missed five straight games while handling right knee injury management and right shin soreness, so a questionable tag represents a positive step compared to being immediately ruled out for a sixth consecutive contest. If he's unable to suit up Tuesday, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona would be in line to handle the bulk of the minutes at center for Philadelphia.

  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Sitting out Tuesday

    Poeltl (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

    With Tuesday being the first half of a back-to-back, the Raptors are holding Poeltl out for injury management. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili are expected to split the center minutes evenly in the absence of Poeltl.
