Davis (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report due to left foot plantar fasciitis, though he has missed only two outings this season. Over his last five appearances, the superstar big man has averaged 26.6 points, 14.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 37.2 minutes per contest. He has also shot 51.1 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from downtown in that five-game span.

Jackson-Davis (hand) checked back into Monday's game against Toronto with 2:46 remaining in the third quarter, Warriors beat writer Danny Emerman reports.

Jackson-Davis exited for the locker room to get his right hand taped up with 7:05 remaining in the third quarter. The big man will likely shoulder his usual workload the rest of the way after the brief exit, though the hand injury could be something to monitor ahead of Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Jackson-Davis went to the locker room during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Raptors with an apparent right thumb/wrist injury, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Jackson-Davis was subbed out with seven minutes remaining in the third quarter to be evaluated further. He'll be considered questionable to return until the team has an update on his status.

Adebayo (back) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reportss.

After being a late addition to Miami's injury report, Adebayo is out with a lower back contusion Monday, and he'll miss his first game of the season as a result. The star big man's next chance to return is Wednesday against the Lakers. Rookie first-rounder Kel'el Ware and Nikola Jovic are candidates for enhanced roles against the Clippers, and the Heat would figure to get veteran big man Kevin Love back into the rotation.

Williams (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

After sitting out Saturday's loss to the Heat with an illness, Williams' status remains in danger for Tuesday. With Deandre Ayton (calf) off the injury report, rookie first-rounder Donovan Clingan should revert back to Portland's second unit and handle the backup center role for the Blazers if Williams isn't feeling well enough to play against Brooklyn.

Ayton (calf) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Brooklyn.

Ayton sat out of Saturday's action due to left calf soreness, but he's set to return following a brief absence. He's averaging 10.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists over his last five appearances.

Claxton is questionable for Tuesday's game against Portland due to right hamstring tightness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

This appears to be a recent injury for Claxton, who hasn't missed a game since Nov. 27. It'll be worth keeping a close eye on his status as Tuesday's tipoff approaches. Day'Ron Sharpe and Jalen Wilson would be a few candidates to start at center if Claxton can't go.

Huff (knee) is available for Monday's game against Houston.

Huff will suit up after having been deemed probable for Monday's contest due to left knee soreness. The big man has seen inconsistent playing time of late, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per contest.

Sims will not play against the Pistons on Monday due to back spasms, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Sims was a late addition to Monday's injury report due to back spasms, and they appear serious enough for him to miss Monday's game. His absence won't impact the Knicks' rotation that much as he was a healthy DNP in New York's last two games.

Jokic (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

Jokic is still dealing with a lingering illness that held him out of two consecutive contests. However, the three-time MVP has appeared in each of the club's last two outings, during which he has averaged 27.0 points, 15.0 rebounds, 12.0 assists and 3.0 steals in 38.5 minutes per game. In the unlikely event that Jokic is unable to go, DeAndre Jordan and Dario Saric are candidates for increased roles.
