Edey (concussion) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Edey will remain in concussion protocols and miss a second straight game as a result. His next opportunity to play will be Friday against the Kings. Jay Huff is in line to make his second start of the regular season Tuesday due to the absences of Edey and Brandon Clarke (knee).

Clarke (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Clarke, who has a right soleus strain, will join a laundry list of Grizzlies players on the sideline, including fellow center Zach Edey (concussion). With both of the big men sidelined, Jay Huff and Colin Castleton should see a bump in minutes behind Jaren Jackson.

Sarr (illness) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Sarr was a late addition to the injury report due to the illness, though he'll give it a go Monday. Over his last five outings, the rookie big man has averaged 14.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 blocks across 30.2 minutes per contest. He has also shot 46.4 percent from beyond the arc while attempting 5.6 threes per contest in that five-game span.

Fernando (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Fernando hasn't suited up since Dec. 12 due to the toe injury. However, his potential absence Tuesday shouldn't affect any fantasy decisions, as he has averaged only 8.9 minutes per contest over 16 regular-season appearances.

Porzingis (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

Porzingis has missed two straight games due to a left ankle sprain, allowing Al Horford to play an expanded role. Even if Porzingis gets the green light Tuesday, he may face some limitations given his checkered injury history.

Hayes (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Mark Medina of Sportskeeda reports.

Hayes has missed 20 of the Lakers' last 21 games but is trending toward playing against Cleveland, which gives Los Angeles some much-needed depth at the center position. Hayes has played fewer than 20 minutes in nine of his 11 appearances this season.

The Thunder recalled Carlson from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Monday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Carlson spent time with the Blue earlier Monday to get some practice reps in, but he'll be available for the Thunder's next game Tuesday versus the Timberwolves.

Collins (hip) won't play Monday against the Nuggets.

No surprise here, as Collins was previously listed as doubtful. He'll miss his fourth straight contest, with his next chance to play coming Jan. 1 against the Knicks.

Missi (back) is available for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Missi was originally listed as questionable on the injury report with a mid-back contusion, but he'll give it a go Monday. The rookie center is averaging a double-double in December with 11.2 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.

Huff produced 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 17 minutes during Sunday's 130-106 loss to Oklahoma City.

With Zach Edey (concussion), Santi Aldama (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (knee) all sidelined, Huff stepped up for the shorthanded Grizzlies in his largest workload since Dec. 8. Huff has made the most of his limited minutes all season and will be on the streaming radar unless the Grizzlies get some reinforcements back for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
