The Grizzlies signed Bal to a second 10-day contract Tuesday.

With the Grizzlies hurting for healthy bodies during the final week of the season, Bal is back with Memphis to help soak up more playing time. Over six appearances, Bal has averaged 8.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.2 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes per game while shooting 43.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Cryer (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Cryer was previously listed as probable for the Warriors. With Stephen Curry healthy again, Cryer's path to minutes is no longer clear.

Hardy (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Hardy is a late addition to the injury report with lower-back spasms. If the fourth-year guard is ultimately downgraded to out, more playing time would be available to Bub Carrington and Sharife Cooper in the backcourt.

Smith signed a two-year contract with the Pistons on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Smith was previously on a two-way contract with Detroit. He's made a total of 13 NBA appearances, posting averages of 3.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.5 blocks in 10.0 minutes per contest.

Okongwu finished Monday's 108-105 loss to the Knicks with 12 points (4-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes.

This was a modest line by Okongwu's standards in what has been a terrific campaign for the center. Across 72 appearances, he holds averages of 15.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers.

Tomlin ended with 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 142-126 victory over the Grizzlies.

Tomlin saw a boost in playing time during Monday's rout, as he reached the 20-minute marker for just the second time since early February. The forward was left out of the rotation entirely during Thursday's win over the Warriors, so he doesn't appear to have a stable role.

Proctor registered 10 points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 142-126 win over the Grizzlies.

Proctor saw his largest workload since returning from a quadriceps strain in March, though that likely had more to do with the lopsided score Monday. The guard has averaged 5.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 10.4 minutes per tilt in his last six games.

White (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston.

It's unclear if White suffered a setback during Tuesday's morning shootaround, as he was initially deemed probable to play with left groin soreness. If the combo guard cannot suit up, Sion James and Josh Green should help pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Williams (thumb) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Williams was a late addition to the injury report with a left thumb sprain, but he intends to play through it. He's been ice cold lately, shooting 27.1 percent from the field over his last eight games.

Herro (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against Toronto.

The Heat removed Herro from the injury report after he missed Saturday's game for personal reasons, only to throw him right back on the report with foot soreness. The star guard is still expected to suit up despite this setback.
