Jones (concussion) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Clippers.

Jones missed the Nuggets' last three games before the All-Star break while working his way through the league's concussion protocol, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to return Thursday. Since the new year, Jones has averaged 5.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 threes and 0.9 steals over 28.3 minutes per game.

Plumlee won't play in Thursday's game against Phoenix due to return-to-competition reconditioning, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Plumlee signed a 10-day contract Tuesday, but he'll require an uncertain amount of time to ramp up before being available to make his Spurs debut. The veteran center underwent surgery in late December to address a groin injury, and his injury type being only conditioning indicates he's recovered from the issue. His next chance to play will come Saturday against Sacramento.

Waters (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Waters continues to work through a left knee injury that will cause him to miss a sixth consecutive game. His next chance to play is Saturday against the Kings, though the Spurs have not provided a clear timeline for Waters' return.

Anthony (recently traded) is out for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

After coming over from Milwaukee at the trade deadline, Anthony's Suns debut will have to wait until Saturday at the earliest, when Phoenix faces Orlando. The majority of the minutes at point guard should fall on Collin Gillespie, Jalen Green and Grayson Allen until Anthony is able to work his way into the mix.

Allen (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Spurs, Shane Young of the Suns' official site reports.

Allen was sidelined for the Suns' final three games before the All-Star break due to a right knee sprain, but the extra rest time has been enough for the veteran wing to return to action against San Antonio on Thursday. He started in each of his seven outings prior to his most recent injury stint. Over that span, he averaged 20.1 points, 4.9 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 threes and 0.9 steals over 33.6 minutes per game.

Green (hamstring) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

After missing Phoenix's last contest prior to the All-Star break for load management, Green is all set to play Thursday. The star guard is still searching for a rhythm amidst an injury-plagued campaign, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play more than around 25 minutes Thursday. On the year, Green has averaged 11.1 points, 2.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers in 15.3 minutes per tilt through seven appearances.

Livers (shoulder) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Livers missed the Suns' final three games before the All-Star break, but the 27-year-old has been given clearance to suit up for Thursday's contest. He's appeared in 29 games this season, averaging 2.2 points and 1.9 rebounds across 10.1 minutes.

Murray-Boyles (thumb) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against Chicago.

Murray-Boyles was sidelined for the Raptors' final game before the All-Star break (Feb. 10 against the Pistons) due to a left thumb sprain that he has been playing through since mid-January, though he was able to play for Team Melo in the Castrol Rising Stars event. Murray-Boyles started each of his last 15 outings prior to the break, but the rookie first-rounder will likely revert to a bench role due to the return of Jakob Poeltl (back).

Mamukelashvili is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls with a right rib contusion.

Mamukelashvili is in danger of missing Toronto's first contest back from the All-Star break. Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb), who's expected to play Thursday, would likely share the center minutes with Jakob Poeltl evenly if Mamukelashvili is unable to suit up.

White (calf) is listed out for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

After the Hornets acquired White at the trade deadline, the team announced that he would be sidelined for the team's final four games before the All-Star break to rest his injured left calf. According to DaShawn Brown of Channel 9 Charlotte, head coach Charles Lee noted after Wednesday's practice that while White has benefited from the recent break and is "trending in the right direction," the seventh-year guard has "no real timeline right now" to make his Hornets debut. With the Hornets opening their post-break schedule with a back-to-back set, White would appear unlikely to be ready to play Friday versus Cleveland. For as long as White remains sidelined, Tre Mann should stick in the rotation as LaMelo Ball's top backup.
