Mitchell is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Orlando with a left shoulder sprain.

Mitchell is set to miss a fourth straight game with the sprain, though he at least seems to be day-to-day. With Tyler Herro (ribs) still sidelined, Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis appear to be in line to split the minutes at point guard for the Heat on Wednesday.

Powell (back) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against Orlando.

Powell was previously labeled as questionable, but it appears that he will push through his back issue. He's in the midst of a cold stretch, as he's shooting 41.3 percent from the field over his last seven games.

Coulibaly (back) played 28 minutes and finished with five points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds, two steals and two blocks in Tuesday's 115-111 win over the Trail Blazers.

Back in action after missing the Wizards' previous five games due to a lower-back strain, Coulibaly stepped back into the starting lineup and operated with no major restrictions. Though he handled a team-low 4.1 percent usage rate on the night, Coulibaly still paced the Wizards in assists and contributed in the defensive categories to salvage his night. He's now averaging 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per game on the season, with both marks representing career highs.

Thompson has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to left knee soreness.

Thompson was initially left off the injury report after Sunday's matchup with Milwaukee was postponed, but he is now officially listed as questionable to play Wednesday. With Cooper Flagg (ankle) also questionable, Naji Marshall, P.J. Washington and Caleb Martin may all see increased workloads if either were to be sidelined.

Robinson won't play Wednesday against the Raptors due to left ankle injury management.

Robinson hasn't been cleared to play in both ends of back-to-back sets as the Knicks continue to exercise caution with the center after he required a second surgery on his left ankle in May 2024. He had a terrific showing in Tuesday's 103-87 win over the Kings even closed the game over Karl-Anthony Towns, finishing with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes.

McBride will not play in Wednesday's game against Toronto due to left ankle management.

McBride logged 30 minutes in Tuesday's victory over Sacramento, adding nine points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and two steals off the bench. However, he will sit out the second leg of the Knicks' back-to-back set. Tyler Kolek and Landry Shamet will likely inherit more minutes as a result, with Jordan Clarkson possibly even re-entering the rotation.

Hart is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors with right ankle soreness.

It appears as though the Knicks are considering a maintenance day for the second leg of this back-to-back set -- Hart logged 31 minutes against the Kings on Tuesday with seven points, nine rebounds, four assists and three steals. If Hart is held out, the Knicks could rely more on players such as Tyler Kolek, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet.

Sarr (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Robbins notes that a bug is going around the locker room. At least for now, Sarr can be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks, which just happens to be the front end of a back-to-back set. The Wizards could rely on small-ball lineups if Sarr can't play, as Marvin Bagley (back) and Tristan Vukcevic (hamstring) have been banged up.

Cisse (G League - two-way) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Cisse is no longer listed on the Mavericks' injury report with an illness, but he's not a lock to suit up Wednesday. He's on a two-way contract and has already been active for 38 games this season, so Cisse can suit up just 12 more times for the NBA club before Dallas would need to convert him to a standard deal in order for him to be eligible to play. Even if Cisse gets the green light to play, Daniel Gafford and Dwight Powell are still expected to see the bulk of the minutes at center.

Garza (illness) is available to play Wednesday against Atlanta, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Garza did not play Monday against the Trail Blazers due to this illness, but he will return after a one-game absence. With teammate Neemias Queta (illness) ruled out, Garza may have a chance at starting, but he will still likely split minutes with Amari Williams.
