The Raptors recalled Jackson-Davis from the G League's Raptors 905 on Wednesday.

Jackson-Davis wasn't available for the Raptors' 127-116 loss to Detroit on Tuesday while he was on assignment in the G League, but he'll suit up for the parent club in the second leg of its back-to-back set Wednesday versus the Kings. The third-year big man received some extended run Tuesday with the 905 in a 120-105 loss to the Motor City Cruise in the first round of the G League playoffs, playing 28 minutes and finishing with 18 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks.

Alvarado logged 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 111-94 loss to the Rockets.

This was a terrific showing for Alvarado in a very limited role off the bench. Miles McBride (pelvis) suffered a setback in the loss and will miss Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, and Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable. That means Alvarado could be in line for a healthy workload against Memphis.

Bouyea (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Tuesday in the Suns' 115-111 loss to the Magic.

Bouyea had received playing time in each of the Suns' previous seven games, though some of those appearances had come in garbage time at the tail end of blowouts. With the Suns getting two key contributors back from injury Tuesday in Dillon Brooks (hand) and Grayson Allen (knee), Bouyea ended up falling out of the rotation.

Dunn (coach's decision) didn't receive any playing time Tuesday in the Suns' 115-111 loss to the Magic.

With Grayson Allen (knee) and Dillon Brooks (hand) back in action after one- and 18-game absences, respectively, Dunn was bumped out of the rotation while head coach Jordan Ott went with Royce O'Neale and Rasheer Fleming as the team's backup forwards. Dunn had played at least 17 minutes in each of his last six appearances, averaging 8.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 three-pointers while shooting 59.5 percent from the field over that stretch.

Rollins (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston.

A right hip strain may keep Rollins out for the second leg of this back-to-back set, though it could be maintenance-related. Gary Trent and AJ Green could be very involved in the backcourt if Rollins is unavailable

Temple (shoulder) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday against the Kings.

The Raptors previously ruled Temple out, only to upgrade him 15 minutes later. Either way, he's mostly an emergency depth piece for the team.

Temple (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Temple will be sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he's a fringe rotation player for the most part.

Embiid (illness) is officially listed as out on Philadelphia's injury report, but the superstar big man posted on X saying he was going to play Wednesday against the Wizards.

Embiid wasn't listed on the initial injury report, which dropped Tuesday, but he popped up Wednesday morning as out due to an illness. He played through an ailment Monday in Miami, posting 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes, so the downgrade was surprising. The 76ers have yet to officially upgrade Embiid, and fantasy managers should assume he won't play until that happens. Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com suggests that Embiid's post was a joke for April Fools' Day.

Shamet (knee) is available to play Wednesday against Memphis.

Shamet is set to return from a five-game absence. If Jalen Brunson (ankle) is unable to play, Shamet could take on a larger role than usual in the backcourt.

McBride (pelvis) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

After missing 28 straight contests, McBride has appeared in two straight games, totaling three points (1-12 FG), three assists, two rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes. However, despite the limited workload, McBride isn't going to push himself during the second night of a back-to-back set. In his absence, Jordan Clarkson and Jose Alvarado are candidates for increased roles, especially if Jalen Brunson (ankle), who's listed as questionable, gets ruled out.
