  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Embiid (oblique) won't play Tuesday against Denver, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

    The Sixers noted over the weekend that Embiid has been progressing in his recovery, but he's not quite healthy enough to gain clearance for Tuesday's game. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Thursday in Sacramento.

  • Bulls' Nick Richards: Good to go Monday

    Richards (back) will play Monday against the Grizzlies.

    Richards was added to the injury report due to lower-back tightness, but the issue won't prevent him from taking the floor Monday night. He'll presumably fall back to a bench role with Jalen Smith returning from a calf injury that held him out of Friday's game.

  • Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Available Monday

    Olbrich (calf) is available for Monday's game against Memphis.

    Olbrich was previously listed as probable due to right calf pain but has been cleared to play in Monday's contest. The rookie has averaged just 5.9 minutes across his past 10 appearances, so there's no guarantee he'll see game action despite being available.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Set to miss road trip

    Allen (knee) will miss Cleveland's upcoming three-game road trip.

    Allen has already been downgraded to out for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee, but the team has now ruled him out for two additional contests. He'll remain in Cleveland during the road trip to continue his treatment and rehabilitation.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Downgraded to out

    Gafford (illness) won't play Monday night against New Orleans.

    As expected, an illness will keep Gafford from suiting up Monday evening. Marvin Bagley is one candidate to see more action in Gafford's absence, though Ryan Nembhard could also factor into the mix if the Mavs decide to deploy a smaller first unit, which they did during Gafford's absence Sunday in Cleveland.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Out vs. Milwaukee

    Allen (knee) won't play Tuesday against the Bucks, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

    Allen will miss his sixth consecutive matchup while nursing a right knee injury. His next chance to run the floor will arrive Thursday in Chicago, though the team has failed to indicate that the big man is nearing a return.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Unavailable Monday

    Williams (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Nets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

    Williams will sit out the second half of his team's back-to-back after logging 20 minutes Sunday in Philly. His next chance to take the floor will arrive Wednesday against the Pacers. Sidy Cissoko should benefit from Williams' absence Monday.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Game-time call for Tuesday

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

    Reid picked up a right shoulder injury during Sunday's loss to Oklahoma City, and he's now in danger of missing Tuesday's matchup. He did manage to play through the issue the rest of the way Sunday, which seemingly bodes well for his status against Phoenix.

  • Warriors' Quinten Post: Ruled out Monday

    Post (foot) won't play Monday against the Warriors.

    Coach Steve Kerr mentioned in his pregame presser that Post was banged up after Sunday's game against the Knicks, per Nick Friedell of The Athletic, and the big man has since been downgraded to out. Look for Will Richard, Gary Payton and Malevy Leons to be candidates for an increase in playing time as a result.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Back on injury report

    Turner is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right calf strain.

    Turner has recently been dealing with right patella tendinitis, though it now seems he's picked up a calf injury. His status for Tuesday will presumably depend on how he fares during shootaround and warmups ahead of tipoff.
