Bagley has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets with a right knee sprain.

Bagley left Monday's loss to the Thunder due to a knee injury that looked to be fairly seriously. The Wizards are labeling his injury as a sprain, but the team hasn't provided word on its severity. Bagley should be viewed as day-to-day until the Wizards provide a clearer update on his condition, but he'll most likely be headed for a multi-game absence.

Porzingis is doubtful to return to Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to left ankle soreness.

Porzingis posted nine points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 13 minutes during the first half but likely won't play in the second half. Luke Kornet started the second half in Porzingis' place.

Sarr (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets.

Sarr may miss a second straight game due to lower back soreness, which also cost the rookie two games earlier in December. If Sarr remains sidelined, Jonas Valanciunas would likely stick in the starting lineup.

Huff (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Huff hasn't played since suffering an ankle injury during a Dec. 15 loss to the Lakers. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in New Orleans. He's day-to-day, according to Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian, so he might have a shot at playing in the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Wembanyama chipped in 42 points (16-31 FG, 6-16 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 18 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to New York.

Wembanyama was magnificent in the loss, continuing to produce at an elite level despite his relative inexperience. After what some considered a slow start to the season, Wembanyama has been a one-man wrecking crew of late, averaging a mind-blowing 28.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 4.4 blocks and 3.9 three-pointers per game over the past month.

Poeltl (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Memphis

Poeltl will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a bilateral groin strain. His next opportunity to take the court comes Sunday versus Atlanta, but Toronto could opt to exercise caution with the big man. Kelly Olynyk and Jonathan Mogbo have been absorbing most of the minutes at center thus far during Poeltl's absence.

Drumond (toe) will not play in Wednesday's Christmas showdown versus Boston.

Drummond will miss his first contest since Dec. 4 due to a bruised left toe. Guerschon Yabusele will be utilized more frequently as a small-ball five, although Joel Embiid enters Wednesday's contest without an injury designation.

Turner is questionable to play Thursday versus Oklahoma City due to a right oblique contusion.

Turner represents the only member of Indiana's typical rotation to appear on Wednesday's injury report thus far. He has started 16 consecutive contests, but his status will nonetheless need to be monitored.

Hayes (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Lakers are expected to provide an update on Hayes' status this week, but the update isn't likely to come before the Lakers' Christmas Day matchup with Golden State. While it's unclear how close Hayes is to returning, his next chance to play will come Saturday.

Davis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors due to a left shoulder contusion, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has been a mainstay on the Lakers' injury report this season and is currently battling a bruised shoulder. He's missed just one game in 2024-25 and is averaging 35.5 minutes per game. Davis has logged a double-double in 13 of his last 14 outings.
