Carter (foot) will play roughly 14-16 minutes Wednesday against the Bulls, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Coach Jamahl Mosley mentioned the need for a cautious approach with Carter's workload, as he's missed the past 12 games due to plantar fasciitis. Carter's minutes should gradually increase going forward, though it's unclear if he'll move back into the starting lineup soon.

Collins accumulated 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one block over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 128-115 loss to the Spurs.

Collins has returned to his typical role at the four upon Walker Kessler's return to action, but there's been no drop-off to his production. Collins is now in the midst of a three-game double-double streak, averaging 19.3 points and 13.3 rebounds over the span.

Wembanyama registered 34 points (13-23 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 128-115 win over the Jazz.

Although Wembanyama failed to reach the double-double mark, he was still able to post an impressive scoring total. He also striped six three-pointers in the win, matching his second-best total in the category. His tremendous effort returns him to 30-point territory after his eight-game streak was snapped two games ago.

Adebayo notched 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 loss to Milwaukee.

Somewhat under the radar, Adebayo has developed a consistent three-point shot. The 27-year-old center has drained at least one trey in six straight games, averaging 19.0 points, 10.0 boards, 4.2 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor and 55.6 percent (10-for-18) from long distance.

Lopez chipped in 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 win over the Heat.

The veteran center did what he does best, recording at least three blocks and three three-pointers in the same game for the fourth time in the last seven contests. Over that stretch, Lopez is averaging 17.0 points, 5.9 boards, 2.9 threes, 2.6 rejections, 1.9 assists and 1.7 steals while shooting 59.5 percent from the floor and a blistering 51.3 percent (20-for-39) from beyond the arc.

Sarr finished Tuesday's 127-108 loss to the Bulls with 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.

The four made three-pointers were a new career high for the second overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, while the 20 points tied his high-water mark so far. Sarr remains inconsistent offensively -- not surprising considering he won't turn 20 until late April -- and is shooting just 24.3 percent from beyond the arc. However, he's already a force on the defensive end of the court. He's recorded at least one block in 15 of his first 16 pro games, and his 1.9 rejections a game is tied for fifth in the league with Myles Turner.

Vucevic accumulated 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 127-108 victory over the Wizards.

It's the 12th double-double in 19 games for Vucevic. The veteran center is on his way to another strong season, and he's been locked in of late from beyond the arc. Over the last seven contests, Vucevic is shooting 47.1 percent (16-for-34) from three-point range and 57.1 percent from the floor while averaging 20.0 points, 9.3 boards, 3.3 assists and 1.1 blocks.

Hayes went back to the locker room in the final minutes of Tuesday's 127-100 loss to the Suns with a right ankle injury, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. He tallied seven points (2-2 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes.

Hayes returned to game action following a six-game absence due to a lingering left ankle injury. To add insult to injury in a blowout loss, he appeared to hurt his right ankle on a dunk with 1:03 remaining in the game. The big man's status is now in jeopardy ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Spurs. If Hayes is sidelined, Christian Koloko will likely see an uptick in playing time behind Anthony Davis.

Reid ended Tuesday's 117-111 overtime loss to the Rockets with 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two steals over 27 minutes.

Reid got back on track despite the loss, scoring 19 points, the most he has scored in the past two weeks. He had scored a total of just seven points across his two previous games. The Timberwolves have now lost six of their past eight contests and will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set Wednesday when they face the Kings.

Sengun ended with 22 points (9-23 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds, three blocks and three steals across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 overtime win over Minnesota.

Sengun produced his third triple-double of the year while stuffing the stat sheet on both ends of the floor. The 22-year-old delivered his eighth 20-point performance Tuesday, and he also racked up 10-plus boards for the 13th time in 19 regular-season outings. Despite blocking zero shots across his last four games, the big man tied Amen Thompson for the team high in swats against the Timberwolves. Sengun has also totaled nine steals over his last five outings. The star center has been dominant thus far, and his contributions have been a huge reason why the Rockets are advancing to the Knockout Round of the NBA Cup.
