Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Taking seat Wednesday
Ingram won't play Wednesday against the Kings due to right heel inflammation management, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Ingram will receive a maintenance day for the second leg of the Raptors' back-to-back set after logging 22 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT) and one rebound over 31 minutes during the Raptors' 127-116 loss to the Pistons on Tuesday. He'll likely return to the lineup Friday in Memphis.

Raptors' Scottie Barnes: Questionable for Wednesday
Barnes (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Barnes has a shoulder contusion and is a candidate for a maintenance day for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Raptors are going to be very thin for this contest, so Barnes would likely see a hefty usage rate if he can get the green light.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Another absence coming
Isaac (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Magic's Anthony Black: Won't play Wednesday
Black (Abdomen) is out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Black will be sidelined for a 14th straight game. He was spotted going through some individual work at Tuesday's shootaround, but he remains without a timetable to return.

Franz Wagner PF | ORL
Magic's Franz Wagner: Listed as questionable
Wagner (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
This is a huge step in the right direction for Wagner as he inches closer to a return. The forward was recently cleared for 5-on-5, and it sounds like he may warm up before a decision is made on his status. Tristan da Silva is likely to see a reduced role if Wagner gets the green light.

Tre Johnson SG | WAS
Wizards' Tre Johnson: Good to go Wednesday
Johnson (foot) will play Wednesday against the 76ers.
Johnson will shed his questionable tag for this contest. He's been struggling lately, shooting 44.1 percent from the field over his last three games with 11.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists.

EJ Harkless SG | UTA
Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Out again Wednesday
Harkless (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Harkless will miss a second straight game, joining Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) on the sidelines. In their absences, Kennedy Chandler, who signed a second 10-day contract with the Jazz on Wednesday, should see ample playing time. Harkless' next chance to suit up will come Friday in Houston.

Kennedy Chandler PG | UTA
Jazz's Kennedy Chandler: Signs another 10-day deal
Chandler signed a second 10-day contract with the Jazz on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
During his first 10-day deal, Chandler saw extensive playing time for the injury-ravaged Jazz. Over his six appearances, he shot 43.1 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from downtown while averaging 14.2 points, 6.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.3 minutes. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring), Keyonte George (hamstring) and Elijah Harkless (hamstring) all out, Chandler could start and should retain a major role during Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
