Claxton (hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with Indiana.

Claxton has missed only two games all season but is in severe danger of missing a third, as his updated status indicates he will likely be sidelined against the Pacers. If Claxton officially can't go, Day'Ron Sharpe would be the biggest beneficiary, and Danny Wolf would also likely see some increased run as well.

George (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Both George and Bilal Coulibaly (heel) will shake off questionable tags for this contest. George has been quiet in his six most recent outings with 12.2 points, 3.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 24.1 minutes per game.

Coulibaly (heel) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Coulibaly will shake off a questionable tag to appear in this contest. He's coming off a dud Sunday against the Heat with seven points, four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 34 minutes.

Howard won't play Wednesday against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain.

Howard logged just six minutes over the Magic's last two games, so his absence won't create many waves in the rotation. His next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break.

Richmond signed a 10-day contract with the Wizards on Wednesday.

The Wizards have a lot of injuries currently, so Richmond is being called up to provide some depth. With the Capital City Go-Go in the G League, Richmond holds averages of 8.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.

Okoro is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics with left knee soreness.

Okoro was a late addition to the injury report, and the Bulls may exercise caution ahead of the All-Star break. Okoro has been logging big workloads lately with 33.1 minutes per game over his last four contests. If he's unable to play, the team could turn to Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller.

Miami recalled Johnson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Wednesday.

Johnson was able to get some run in with the Skyforce before rejoining the Heat, posting a double-double to the tune of 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 127-119 G League loss to the Oklahoma City Blue. Johnson has not seen significant playing time in 2026, but he is likely to continue splitting time between the two clubs for the remainder of the season.

Detroit recalled Lanier from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Tuesday.

Lanier last played Feb. 6 and logged seven points in six minutes during garbage time, but he has not seen significant playing time in 2026. He will likely continue to split time between the two clubs for the remainder of the season.

Timme logged 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and two rebounds over 20 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 136-108 loss to the Spurs.

Returning from the three-game absence due to an eye injury, Timme got his biggest workload since Jan. 17 for a Lakers squad missing all five of its usual starters. The 25-year-old center will likely return to the end of the bench once Deandre Ayton (knee) is back on the court.

Detroit recalled Klintman from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Tuesday.

Klintman has not appeared in an NBA game since Jan. 29 and has played seven total minutes in 2026. However, he will continue to split time between Detroit and the team's G League affiliate for the remainder of the season.
