  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Ruled out versus Warriors

    Kornet (knee) is listed as out ahead of Wednesday's game against Golden State, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.

    The veteran center won't suit up for the front end of this back-to-back set, though he'll likely return for Thursday's meeting with the Clippers. Without Kornet in the equation, Mason Plumlee and Kelly Olynyk are the favorites to see minutes behind Victor Wembanyama.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Good to go Tuesday

    Duren (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

    Duren sat out Monday's overtime loss to the Thunder due to right knee injury management, though he'll return to action in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The star big man has recorded nine double-doubles over his last 10 appearances, averaging 23.3 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 29.2 minutes per contest during that span.

  • Wizards' Anthony Davis: Cleared for light contact

    Davis (finger) is healing on schedule and has been cleared for light contact work, though he remains without a timetable for a return, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Davis hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand and can be considered week-to-week until the Wizards offer another update on his progress. However, with the team holding a 17-58 record, it wouldn't be surprising if the star big man doesn't return this season.

  • Bulls' Nick Richards: Questionable versus Indiana

    Richards (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

    Richards missed the Bulls' last three games because of a sprained right elbow. If he is ruled out heading into Wednesday's contest, Guerschon Yabusele (ankle), who is also questionable, would be in line to start. However, if both players don't suit up, Leonard Miller would likely start the game in the middle, with rookie Lachlan Olbrich coming in for relief.

  • Wizards' Anthony Davis: Ruled out for Wednesday

    Davis (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

    Davis hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand and remains without a clear timetable for a return. Considering the Wizards own a 17-58 record, it wouldn't be surprising to see the star big man miss the remainder of the season. For now, he can be considered doubtful for future contests until the club offers an update on his progress.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Not listed on injury report

    Embiid (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

    Embiid was under the weather during Monday's loss to the Heat, when he posted 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes. However, the illness won't cause him to miss Wednesday's contest. The star big man has appeared in three straight outings, averaging 30.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 32.7 minutes per contest over that stretch.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Game-time call for Wednesday

    Sarr (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

    Sarr was also listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Lakers before ultimately being downgraded to out, so it seems he's closing in on a return. The Wizards should have more to share on his status as tipoff approaches.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Hawks' Jock Landale: Iffy for Wednesday

    Landale (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Landale is in danger of missing his second consecutive matchup due to illness. The team should have a clearer idea of his availability closer to tipoff.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Removed from injury report

    Queta (thumb) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against Miami, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    After sitting out Monday's loss to the Hawks with a thumb injury, Queta is ready to get back into the lineup Wednesday and will likely push Luka Garza to the bench. Queta has averaged 11.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 27.9 minutes per contest across his last eight games, shooting 69.1 percent from the field during this stretch.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Available Tuesday

    Allen (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

    Allen is set to return after getting the night off Monday against the Jazz. In Allen's most recent performance Friday against Miami, he looked sharp with 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 18 minutes.
