Green had three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across seven minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 loss to the Celtics.

Green played no more than seven minutes for the third time in the past four games, having seemingly moved to the fringe of the rotation. Despite a small amount of defensive upside, Green's lack of offensive versatility makes him a non-factor on that end of the floor.

Diabate notched two points (1-3 FG), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 loss to the Celtics.

Diabate underwhelmed again, continuing a rough couple of weeks. In seven appearances during that time, he has averaged just 5.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals. While his role as the starting center is safe, his lack of offensive upside could be an issue during the playoffs.

The Pistons waived Klintman on Tuesday.

The 2024 second-rounder will have to explore other opportunities after being let go by the Pistons. Klintman appeared in just 12 regular-season games for Detroit this season, averaging 1.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 5.9 minutes per contest.

Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers and did not return, finishing with six points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three steals and two rebounds across 20 minutes.

Marshall struggled on the offensive end Tuesday before taking a hard fall and limping to the locker room after attempting to contest a shot in the fourth quarter. It's unclear exactly what the 28-year-old forward is dealing with, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him appear on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game in Phoenix.

Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

While it's unclear exactly why he headed back to the locker room, Marshall contested a shot and took a hard fall before limping off the court. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Thiero (face) returned to Tuesday's game against the Thunder with 7:54 remaining in the third quarter, per the broadcast.

Thiero took an elbow to the face in the second quarter and immediately headed back to the locker room. However, he was eventually cleared to return and will likely continue to play meaningful minutes the rest of the way for the banged-up Lakers.

Thiero exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to an apparent facial injury, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Thiero caught an elbow to the face from Chet Holmgren and headed straight back to the locker room with a towel on his face. Thiero should be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Quickley (foot) closed with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 121-95 win over the Heat.

Tuesday's game was Quickley's first appearance since March 22, with the sixth-year guard returning from an eight-game absence due to right foot plantar fasciitis. He ended up seeing less playing time than Jamal Shead (24 minutes), but that may have been more due to the Raptors' dominant lead through three quarters, resulting in the starters resting for the fourth frame. Quickley may have his minutes limited over the final few games of the regular season as the Raptors gear up for a postseason run.

Ingram finished Tuesday's 121-95 victory over the Heat with 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes.

Ingram scored all 23 of his points through the first three quarters (including 15 in the first half) to finish as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Scottie Barnes (25). It was an encouraging scoring performance out of Ingram, who has scored 20-plus points in just two of his last nine outings despite connecting on 49.6 percent of his field-goal attempts over that span. The Raptors will need Ingram's best over the final week of the regular season as the team looks to avoid the Play-In Tournament.

Tatum said after Tuesday's 113-102 win over the Hornets that he will play Thursday against the Knicks, meaning he will likely sit out Friday's game against the Pelicans for right Achilles injury management, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Tatum was Boston's second-leading scorer Tuesday, finishing with 23 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT) to go with five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes. The star forward is set to face the Knicks on Thursday at Madison Square Garden, where he ruptured his Achilles in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals last spring. He has yet to be cleared to play both halves of back-to-back sets, so Tatum is expected to sit out Friday's contest before returning to action for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Magic.
