Waters (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Waters will be sidelined for a fifth straight game and remains without a timetable to return.

Castle is listed questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors due to a right pelvic contusion.

Castle didn't return to Tuesday's 136-108 win over the Lakers after suffering the injury when he landed hard on the court on a dunk attempt in the second quarter. Though he appears to have avoided anything significant, the Spurs could opt to play it safe with Castle and hold him out for their final game before the All-Star break. Dylan Harper, Julian Champagnie and Carter Bryant could be among the beneficiaries from playing-time standpoints if Castle ends up being ruled out ahead of Wednesday's 10 p.m. ET opening tip.

Booker is questionable to face the Thunder on Wednesday due to right ankle injury management.

The Suns are on the second leg of a back-to-back set, and given Booker returned just two games ago, there's a chance the medical staff will err on the side of caution and hold him out of Wednesday's game. If Booker is ruled out, Jordan Goodwin would see a boost.

Anthony (not with team) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Anthony has yet to report to the Suns after being sent to Phoenix at the deadline. It appears as though a buyout could be on the table.

Green is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right hamstring injury management.

A maintenance day is potentially on the table for Green as the Suns prepare for their final game before the All-Star break. Grayson Allen (knee) has already been ruled out and Devin Booker (ankle) is listed questionable, so the Suns could lean heavily on Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Jamaree Bouyea out of the backcourt Wednesday if both Booker and Green are sidelined.

Batum will sit out Wednesday's game against Houston for rest purposes, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Batum will get a maintenance day for the second leg of a back-to-back set while the Clippers wrap up their pre-All-Star-break schedule. The veteran big man went unused off the bench Tuesday in the Clippers' 102-95 loss to the Rockets, marking just the second time all season he didn't play in a game.

Vukcevic (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

This is bad news for a Washington team that might also be without Alex Sarr (questionable, hamstring). With that in mind, Anthony Gill could see a sizable workload for the Wizards on Wednesday.

Sarr is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers with right hamstring tightness.

Sarr was a late addition to the injury report, and that's usually a bad sign in fantasy hoops. Plus, the Wizards have been super cautious with all their key players. If Sarr is unable to play, Anthony Gill is the next man up at center with Tristan Vukcevic (illness) ruled out.

Finney-Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

As expected, Finney-Smith will be held out for the second leg of the back-to-back set due to left ankle injury management. Finney-Smith played a season-high 20 minutes in Tuesday's 102-95 win over the Clippers, finishing with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block.

Eason is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to left lower leg injury management.

A maintenance day could be in the cards for Eason in the second leg of a back-to-back set. The fourth-year forward played 30 minutes in Tuesday's 102-95 win over the Clippers, finishing with six points (2-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes.
