NBA Player News

McConnell (hamstring) has been cleared to play Tuesday against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

McConnell has received the green light to suit up despite dealing with some hamstring soreness. He's averaging 7.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals in his last five games.

Thybulle (thumb/knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Thybulle hasn't played since Oct. 29 as he recovers from left thumb surgery, and he's also dealing with right knee tendinopathy. The 28-year-old forward should be considered week-to-week until Portland offers an update on his progress.

Murray (back) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Murray has been sidelined since Jan. 5 due to a back strain, and he'll remain out Wednesday. It's unclear when he'll be back in action or if he's nearing a return. His next chance to play will come Thursday at Utah.

Sharpe (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Sharpe will miss his third straight game while tending to a left calf injury. He'll have one more opportunity to suit up Thursday against Utah before the All-Star break.

Anunoby (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Anunoby will miss a third straight game due to toe soreness in his right foot, and his final opportunity to suit up before the All-Star break will come Wednesday against Philadelphia. With the 28-year-old forward sidelined, Landry Shamet and Mohamed Diawara are candidates to see a bump in minutes.

Braun is probable for Wednesday's game against Memphis due to a left ankle sprain.

Braun also carried a probable designation leading up to Monday's game against the Cavs and was ultimately able to suit up, so he'll presumably have a good chance to take the court Wednesday in his team's final game before the All-Star break. Braun is averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in four showings since returning from a 12-game absence due to the ankle injury.

Jones (concussion) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Jones has missed back-to-back games due to a concussion, but he has a chance to return Wednesday night. Julian Strawther has filled in for Jones in the starting lineup and would likely do so again if Jones can't play Wednesday.

Jokic (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jokic has been a regular on the injury report of late due to a left ankle sprain, though he's expected to suit up for a seventh straight game. The three-time MVP has racked up three consecutive triple-doubles, averaging 24.7 points, 14.0 rebounds, 12.7 assists and 2.7 combined steals-plus-blocks per game during that stretch.

Murray is probable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to left hip inflammation.

Murray picked up a hip injury during Saturday's win over the Bulls, but it hasn't forced him to miss any additional action thus far. He should have a good chance to suit up Wednesday after being tagged as probable.

Holland (personal) is out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Holland will miss a second straight game for personal reasons. His absence could mean more opportunities for Isaiah Stewart or Javonte Green, though Stewart could be facing a suspension after taking part in a fight Monday against Charlotte. Wednesday's game is the Pistons' last before the All-Star break, making Holland's next chance to play Feb. 19 against the Knicks.
