Sengun exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to an apparent lower-back issue, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Sengun appeared to tweak his lower back before exiting to the locker room with 8:33 remaining in the final quarter. The star big man can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Williams will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

With the Warriors being very shorthanded in the first leg of this back-to-back set, the two-way player will make his first start since the 2022-23 campaign with Portland. He's averaging 6.2 points and 1.8 rebounds across 13.3 minutes per tilt in 11 regular-season games thus far, though he should see a significant uptick in minutes against San Antonio.

Richard will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

The Warriors will be without several key contributors Wednesday, so the rookie second-rounder will rejoin the first unit following a one-game absence due to left heel soreness. As a starter this season (20 games), Richard has averaged 8.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.4 steals in 24.3 minutes per game.

Cryer will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

The Warriors will be extremely shorthanded in the front end of this back-to-back set, opening the door for Cryer to make his first career start. The rookie guard has averaged 7.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 19.2 minutes per game over his last five outings, though he's likely to see a significant uptick in playing time Wednesday.

Landale won't return to Wednesday's game against the Magic due to a right ankle sprain, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. He'll finish with eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes.

Goga Bitadze pulled Landale down on a shot attempt near the rim, and the big man landed awkwardly on his right leg before walking to the locker room under his own power. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game against the Nets.

Bitadze was ejected after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. He'll finish with four points (2-3 FG), five rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 15 minutes.

The big man committed a hard foul on Jock Landale (ankle) with 7:30 remaining in the final quarter and was sent to the locker room early. Bitadze recorded multiple blocks for the first time since Jan. 18 before being ejected.

George contributed 39 points (15-22 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists, five rebounds and three steals across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 153-131 win over the Wizards.

George took advantage of a favorable matchup and scored a game- and season-high 39 points while knocking down at least four triples for a fourth consecutive contest. Additionally, the star forward tied his season high in assists and grabbed at least five rebounds for the third time over his last four games. He has also tallied at least three swipes three times in that four-game stretch, during which he has averaged 28.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.8 steals per contest.

Tshiebwe is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Tshiebwe will make his third NBA start Wednesday and second of the season. He has hauled in at least six boards in each of his last seven outings, and over that span he has averaged 8.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 16.9 minutes per game. He'll join Brice Sensabaugh, Ace Bailey, Cody Williams and Kyle Filipowski in the starting five.

Trent won't return to Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to a hip contusion. He'll finish with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal in seven minutes.

Trent checked out with 4:32 remaining in the opening quarter and won't return due to the hip injury. His next opportunity to play will come Friday against Boston. The Bucks have just seven players available for the remainder of Wednesday's game, so Cormac Ryan and Andre Jackson will likely help pick up the slack.

Chandler is not in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Chandler made his first NBA start against the Cavaliers on Tuesday, when he played 40 minutes and finished with 12 points, five assists, four rebounds, one block and two three-pointers in a 122-113 loss. He'll come off the bench for Wednesday's contest while the Jazz roll with a starting five of Brice Sensabaugh, Cody Williams, Ace Bailey, Oscar Tshiebwe and Kyle Filipowski.
