NBA Player News

Bol (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Bol carried a questionable tag leading up to tipoff, but he's since been given clearance to suit up after making it through pregame warmups. He hasn't been much of a factor in the rotation, so don't be surprised if he doesn't see any action.

Bryant ended Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Bucks with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds across five minutes.

Bryant saw just five minutes, the fewest he has played since joining Indiana. Despite the fact he is the team's only backup center option, the Pacers opted to run with a number of small-ball lineups, limiting Bryant's opportunities. While he should remain a part of the rotation, it is clear he is not being prioritized at this point.

Zeller (personal) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against Cleveland, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Zeller has yet to compete this season while away from the team due to personal reasons. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Friday against the Lakers.

Lively (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Lively has missed three straight games due to a left hip contusion and was listed as questionable ahead of two of those three absences. If the youngster can't suit up, Daniel Gafford should continue to start at center.

Drummond (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Drummond has missed three straight games due to a sprained toe in his left foot but has a chance to return Wednesday. Joel Embiid (rest) won't play in the first half of Philadelphia's back-to-back set, so if Drummond is cleared, he'd have a clear path to at least 20 minutes Wednesday, depending on his conditioning.

Embiid has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to rest purposes.

After dropping 37 points (12-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 12-13 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 125-103 victory over the Trail Blazers, Embiid will take a seat for the first half of Philadelphia's upcoming back-to-back set. The big man should be back in action Thursday in Golden State. In Embiid's absence, Andre Drummond (toe), Guerschon Yabusele and Ricky Council are candidates for increased roles.

Collins (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Collins has missed four straight games and continues to be listed as doubtful. If he's downgraded to out again, his next chance to suit up would come Saturday in Miami. Micah Potter, Svi Mykhailiuk, Cody Williams and Johnny Juzang have all received starts in Collins' absence.

Fernando (toe) is available to play Tuesday against Boston, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Fernando has been sidelined since Dec. 12, but he was a fringe rotation player prior to the injury. There's no guarantee he will see the floor Tuesday, but the Raptors are pretty shorthanded which helps his case.

Davis (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

This is great news for the Lakers, though LeBron James (illness) and Gabe Vincent (oblique) remain questionable. If James doesn't get the green light, Davis could be looking at a significant increase in usage.

Porzingis (ankle) will not play Tuesday against Toronto.

Porzingis will be sidelined for a third straight contest. He was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, suggesting that he's day-to-day going forward with a chance to return Jan. 2 against Minnesota. Al Horford will continue to benefit from a fantasy perspective in the meantime.
