Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Turner (neck) was able to practice Monday in "some capacity," Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Turner missed Saturday's game against the Lakers and remains day-to-day with a cervical strain. Carlisle did not rule Turner out from returning Tuesday against the Lakers or Wednesday against the Wizards, but there should be more clarity when the Pacers release their injury report Monday evening.

Nurkic (trade pending) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Nets.

Nurkic wasn't cleared to make his debut Sunday against the Pistons, but it appears that he'll suit up for the first time as a Hornet on Monday. Despite Mark Williams (not with team) being ruled out, Nurkic isn't expected to see much playing time if any, per the team's broadcast.

Williams (not with team) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Nets.

Though he'll remain a member of the Hornets roster after his trade to the Lakers was rescinded Saturday when Los Angeles identified multiple concerns with the center's physical, Williams has not joined Charlotte for its ongoing road trip. Charlotte has yet to offer any indication that the Lakers' concerns about Williams' medical record is anything that will keep the 23-year-old from playing in games, but his availability will be up in the air until he meets back up with the team. After Monday, the Hornets will travel to Orlando for a matchup with the Magic before heading into the All-Star break.

Lopez is probable for Monday's game against the Warriors with a right shoulder contusion.

Lopez played 24 minutes against the 76ers on Sunday, finishing with 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks. For now, the Bucks are planning on the veteran suiting up for the second leg of this back-to-back set despite the fact that he's not 100 percent.

Davis was diagnosed Sunday with a left adductor strain and is expected to miss multiple weeks and potentially up to a month, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Before exiting his final game with the Lakers on Jan. 28 due to an abdominal strain, Davis was traded to the Mavericks on Feb. 2 and was then cleared to make his team debut in Saturday's win over the Rockets. The star big man was on his way to an impressive debut with 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks in 31 minutes before checking out of the game with 1:37 remaining in the third quarter due to the adductor injury. While a firm timeline for Davis' return likely won't come into focus until he resumes on-court work, he can safely be ruled out through the All-Star break, and his absence looks as though it could stretch into March. With Davis sidelined, Daniel Gafford should have a higher minutes floor as the Mavericks' starting center, while P.J. Washington (ankle) will shift back to his more natural power forward spot after he started at small forward in Davis' debut. Naji Marshall, Dante Exum (Achilles) and Max Christie (shoulder) will all be candidates to benefit from extra minutes while Davis is out.

Landale provided 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes during Sunday's 94-87 victory over Toronto.

It was the first double-double of the season for Landale, who stepped up to tie a team high with 10 rebounds off Houston's bench. The 29-year-old big man also set a new season high with 24 minutes Sunday, which is worth noting after Alperen Sengun left the game with a back injury. Landale's role with the Rockets has been inconsistent this year, but he could be in line for an expanded role if Sengun and Steven Adams (ankle) are out for Wednesday's tilt against Phoenix.

Kessler (shoulder) is off Utah's injury report for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Kessler will return to action after missing Saturday's loss to the Clippers due to a left shoulder contusion. The big man has averaged 10.6 points, 15.2 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 33.6 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Collins (rest) is off Utah's injury report for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Collins will suit up Monday after missing Saturday's loss to the Clippers due to rest purposes. The 27-year-old forward has averaged 19.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 32.4 minutes per contest over his last five outings.

Williams (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Williams left Saturday's loss to Minnesota early due to the right knee injury, and he is now in jeopardy of missing Monday's contest due to right knee soreness. If the big man is sidelined against Denver, Donovan Clingan will likely serve as the primary backup to Deandre Ayton.

Powell (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings.

Powell will miss his 12th consecutive contest Monday due to a right hip strain. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Golden State.
