NBA Player News

Robinson is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Robinson will replace Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) in the starting five Tuesday. However, per Edwards, Robinson will be limited to 18 minutes of action.

Robinson is on a minutes restriction for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Robinson is set to make his third straight appearance Tuesday but has logged just 13 and 12 minutes, respectively, in the Knicks' previous two outings. Even with Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) out, Robinson is unlikely to shoulder a large workload against Golden State.

Landale (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Landale has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with left knee soreness. With Alperen Sengun (back) set to return to action against Indiana, Landale will return to his backup center role.

Holmes (knee) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Following Monday's loss to the Heat, Holmes is in danger of missing Wednesday's game against Utah due to a left knee contusion. Tristan Vukcevic could see more minutes on the floor if Holmes is ruled out against the Jazz.

Nurkic is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves due to lower back tightness.

Nurkic is expected to make his second straight appearance Wednesday despite dealing with a lower back injury. If Nurkic is officially upgraded to available, he will likely operate as Charlotte's backup center to Mark Williams.

Gibson (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Gibson was unable to play in Monday's loss to the Warriors due to an illness, but the veteran center appears to be on track to be available Wednesday. He's seen sparse playing time off the bench over the past couple of weeks as the fourth-string center behind Mark Williams, Jusuf Nurkic and Moussa Diabate.

Collins (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Collins is set to be out of action for the sixth time in seven games due to lower back injury management, and his next chance to see the floor is Friday against the Raptors. The Jazz will be shorthanded Wednesday due to the absences of Collins, Walker Kessler (rest), Lauri Markkanen (back), Jordan Clarkson (foot) and Collin Sexton (ankle). Expect the likes of KJ Martin, Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski, Cody Williams, Johnny Juzang and others to see a heavy workload against Washington.

Kessler (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

After coming one rebound shy of a double-double in Monday's loss to the Pistons, Kessler will not be available for Wednesday's game in Washington. The Jazz will likely turn to Kyle Filipowski to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Williams (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics.

Williams' absence streak will extend to seven games Wednesday due to a left knee sprain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Thunder.

Porzingis (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against Portland, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Porzingis was able to participate in Tuesday's practice, though he is still expected to miss his third consecutive contest due to the non-COVID illness. If the big man remains sidelined, Luke Kornet and Al Horford are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
