Jonathan Kuminga PF | ATL
Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Iffy for Monday
Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Magic.
Kuminga has missed four of the last five games due to a left knee injury, which now has his status for Monday in question. If he is unable to go, Zaccharie Risacher and Mouhamed Gueye figure to see expanded roles.

Alex Sarr C | WAS
Wizards' Alex Sarr: Not playing Monday
Sarr has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors due to right hamstring injury management.
The Wizards play the front end of their back-to-back set Monday. They will opt to rest Sarr as he manages a right hamstring injury that cost him 10 straight games earlier in the season, and the second-year center should be available to play against the Pistons on Tuesday. Tristan Vukcevic will likely start in Sarr's absence while Anthony Gill and Julian Reese both see more minutes off the bench.

Trae Young PG | WAS
Wizards' Trae Young: Fades injury report
Young (undisclosed) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors.
Young exited Saturday's game in the third quarter and did not return due to undisclosed reasons, but he appears set to play in Monday's contest. In four appearances since joining the Wizards, Young is averaging 13.8 points, 6.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per contest.

Michael Porter Jr. SF | BKN
Nets' Michael Porter: Not playing Monday
Porter (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Porter will be sidelined for a third consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain, and his next opportunity to play comes Wednesday against the Thunder. Ziaire Williams, Jalen Wilson and Josh Minott should continue to operate in elevated roles for as long as Porter is out of action.

Terance Mann SG | BKN
Nets' Terance Mann: Ruled out for Monday
Mann is listed out for Monday's game against Portland due to left Achilles soreness.
After being left out of the rotation for two straight games, Mann has returned to play 16 and 18 minutes in the Nets' subsequent two contests. He started in his most recent appearance in Saturday's loss to the 76ers, but Drake Powell will likely replace Mann on the top unit Monday.

Dalen Terry SF | PHI
76ers' Dalen Terry: Not available Sunday
Terry (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Terry drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game due to a left shoulder injury. He is eligible to play in seven more regular-season games under his two-way contract, so he won't play against Portland but could be available for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets. MarJon Beauchamp and Trendon Watford will see more minutes in Terry's absence.

Noah Clowney PF | BKN
Nets' Noah Clowney: Won't play Monday
Clowney (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.
Clowney only logged 19 minutes his last time out, and Monday's game does not come in a back-to-back set, so the 21-year-old getting popped with a maintenance day is a bit egregious. With Clowney unavailable, Danny Wolf should get all the run he can handle and Josh Minott will have the chance for some extended minutes.

Isaac Okoro SF | CHI
Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Unlikely to play Monday
Okoro (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Memphis.
It looks like Okoro will miss a fourth consecutive game due to right knee soreness. Leonard Miller, Patrick Williams and Rob Dillingham will continue to operate in expanded roles for as long as Okoro is sidelined.

Jaden Ivey SG | CHI
Bulls' Jaden Ivey: Won't play Monday
Ivey (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with Memphis.
Ivey recently went through a full practice with Chicago's G League affiliate, which suggests he could be nearing a return. However, that won't come Monday, and with Wednesday's game against the Raptors being the first of a back-to-back set, it seems unlikely he'll be cleared for that one. Once Ivey does get back to the court, he'll likely have some strict minutes restrictions, so he's a tough guy to roster in fantasy leagues at this juncture in the season.

Anfernee Simons SG | CHI
Bulls' Anfernee Simons: Absence continuing Monday
Simons (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Monday marks the 11th game in a row that Simons will miss while recovering from a fracture in his left wrist. His next opportunity to play is Wednesday against the Raptors, but there is no clear timeline for his return, so he can be considered doubtful for that contest.
