NBA Player News

Johnson (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Knicks.

Johnson will be sidelined for a third straight game and continues to be ruled out a day in advance, suggesting he's not quite day-to-day yet. In the meantime, the Wizards will likely continue to lean on Bub Carrington as their floor general.

Giddey is out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks with a left hamstring strain.

Giddey will be sidelined for a fourth contest in a row with the injury. The star guard's next chance to play comes Thursday in Toronto. Ayo Dosunmu should handle a more pronounced role in the Chicago backcourt until Giddey is cleared to return to action.

Vukcevic (hamstring) will not play Tuesday against the Knicks.

Vukcevic will be sidelined for a 10th straight game and remains without a timetable to return. Meanwhile, Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley are both healthy up front for the Wizards.

Sarr (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Sarr is no longer appearing on the injury report after missing Sunday's game against the Kings. With this news, Marvin Bagley will likely retreat to the second unit after a productive 19-minute stint Sunday.

Reaves (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Brooklyn.

Reaves hasn't played since Dec. 25 after straining his left calf, but Lakers head coach JJ Redick said after Sunday's 112-100 loss to the Knicks that he was hopeful to have the guard back in the lineup soon. It sounds like the guard could ultimately be a game-time call for this contest, and if he's cleared, Reaves will likely face restrictions.

Williams (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Williams appears likely to return from a three-game absence Tuesday. He was playing well before the injury setback, posting averages of 10.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 25.1 minutes over his last four appearances.

Clowney is probable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers with a lower-back sprain, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Clowney is set to finish a five-game absence with the injury. His expected presence figures to force Danny Wolf to play a bench role Tuesday. Over his last six appearances, Clowney has averaged 12.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes per game.

Porter (personal) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Porter has the green light to return from a two-game absence. He's going to be seeing his name quite a lot in the rumor mill leading up to the trade deadline, but it remains to be seen what direction the Nets choose to go. Across 12 appearances in January, Porter averaged 25.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.4 minutes per game.

LeVert (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

LeVert has missed the past seven games for Detroit, but the veteran continues to be listed as day-to-day. In his absence, the Pistons have leaned more on Jaden Ivey and Daniss Jenkins.

Harden is out for Monday's game against the 76ers for personal reasons.

Harden remains away from the team for a second consecutive contest. The star guard's next chance to rejoin the club comes Wednesday against the Cavaliers. With Harden out of action, the Clippers will lean on Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders to step up against Philadelphia.
