Flagg is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a left midfoot sprain.

Flagg is on track to miss the Mavericks' final game before the All-Star break due to a sprained foot. If he winds up sitting, Naji Marshall (foot), Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton could see an uptick in playing time. Flagg is averaging 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.2 steals across 34.1 minutes per game this season.

Marshall is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a left foot strain.

Marshall is dealing with an ailing foot, so he could skip the Mavs' final game heading into the All-Star break. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if Marshall is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Max Christie and Khris Middleton.

Queta (ankle) returned to Wednesday's game against the Bulls with 8:47 remaining in the second quarter, per the broadcast.

Queta landed awkwardly on his left ankle in the opening quarter and exited to the locker room. However, the big man has been cleared to return and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest.

Murray (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Murray will shed his probable tag due to left hip inflammation and play in Denver's final game before the All-Star break. Over five February appearances, the star point guard has averaged 25.6 points, 9.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 37.4 minutes per contest.

Braun (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Braun will shed a probable tag in time to suit up Wednesday. He's fresh off his third 20-point game of the season, as he logged 20 points, five rebounds and two assists in Monday's loss to Cleveland.

Coward (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.

Coward will sit out Memphis' final game before the All-Star break, giving him a full 10 days to rest his sore right knee. The Grizzlies return with a back-to-back out of the break, however, leaving his status for next Friday's matchup against Utah up in the air. For now, he should be considered questionable for that one. Expect more minutes for Cam Spencer and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Wednesday evening.

Clayton (calf) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Clayton will miss a second consecutive contest due to a bruised right calf. With Cedric Coward (knee) also sidelined, Cam Spencer and Scotty Pippen could see an uptick in playing time. Clayton's next chance to play will come after the All-Star break, when the Grizzlies face the Jazz on Feb. 20.

Jokic (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

As expected, Jokic will shed his probable tag due to a left ankle sprain and suit up in Denver's final game before the All-Star break. The superstar has appeared in each of the Nuggets' last six games, averaging 24.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 33.0 minutes per game over that stretch.

Missi (calf) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Missi was added to the injury report with a sore left calf less than 30 minutes before tipoff, and he'll wind up being unavailable. His absence should mean more opportunities for Karlo Matkovic, while Kevon Looney could crack the rotation. Missi's next chance to play will come after the All-Star break, when the Pelicans begin a back-to-back Feb. 20.

Ivey (undisclosed) checked into Wednesday's game against the Celtics with 6:19 remaining in the first quarter, per the broadcast.

Ivey was announced in the starting lineup ahead of tipoff, though Collin Sexton ultimately got the starting nod. However, Ivey doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury and should be good to go for the remainder of the contest after checking in.
