  • Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Double-doubles in spot start

    Sharpe supplied 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 115-110 loss to the Pacers.

    Sharpe got the starting nod for the fourth time this season due to Nic Claxton (hip) being sidelined, and the former made the most of the opportunity. Sharpe racked up 19 points on extremely efficient shooting, matching his season high. The big man was also active on the glass en route to his fourth double-double on the campaign. Sharpe has scored 19 points in three of his last five outings, averaging 13.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 21.2 minutes per game during that span.

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Questionable for Thursday

    Ayton (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas.

    Ayton sat out Tuesday's loss to the Spurs and could miss a second consecutive contest ahead of the All-Star break due to right knee soreness. If the big man is unable to play Thursday, Jaxson Hayes would likely get the starting nod, while Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme would be candidates for increased playing time off the bench.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Returns Wednesday

    Queta (ankle) returned to Wednesday's game against the Bulls with 8:47 remaining in the second quarter, per the broadcast.

    Queta landed awkwardly on his left ankle in the opening quarter and exited to the locker room. However, the big man has been cleared to return and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Good to go Wednesday

    Jokic (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

    As expected, Jokic will shed his probable tag due to a left ankle sprain and suit up in Denver's final game before the All-Star break. The superstar has appeared in each of the Nuggets' last six games, averaging 24.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 33.0 minutes per game over that stretch.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Won't play Wednesday

    Missi (calf) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

    Missi was added to the injury report with a sore left calf less than 30 minutes before tipoff, and he'll wind up being unavailable. His absence should mean more opportunities for Karlo Matkovic, while Kevon Looney could crack the rotation. Missi's next chance to play will come after the All-Star break, when the Pelicans begin a back-to-back Feb. 20.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Exits to locker room

    Queta exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an apparent left ankle injury, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

    Queta landed awkwardly on his left ankle and exited to the locker room after logging under six minutes. Nikola Vucevic and Luka Garza should handle the center minutes if Queta isn't cleared to return.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Late addition to injury report

    Missi (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

    Missi was added to the injury report less than 30 minutes before tipoff due to left calf soreness, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. If he's ultimately ruled out, Karlo Matkovic would likely see a bump in minutes behind Derik Queen.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Will play Wednesday

    Sengun (leg) is available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

    Sengun was initially listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there for Wednesday's rematch. The All-Star center is averaging 20.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 6.3 assists 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per game this season.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Starting Wednesday

    Huff is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Huff will supplant Micah Potter in the first unit for Wednesday's contest. Huff is averaging 10.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.1 blocks in 22.3 minutes across 30 starts this season.

  • Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Starting sans Claxton

    Sharpe will start Wednesday's game against the Pacers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

    With Nic Claxton (hip) out, Sharpe will get the starting nod in Brooklyn's final game before the All-Star break. As a starter this season (three games), the big man has averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.3 combined steals-plus-blocks across 30.7 minutes per game.
