L.J. Cryer PG | GS
Warriors' LJ Cryer: Won't play Wednesday
Cryer (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Cryer has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday's game. While Cryer holds a minor role in the rotation, his absence could mean a slight uptick in playing time for Pat Spencer, Will Richard or Gary Payton. Cryer's next chance to play will come Friday at Detroit.

John Konchar SG | UTA
Jazz's John Konchar: Available to play
Konchar (calf) is available for Wednesday's game in Minnesota, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Konchar may have his minutes monitored in his first game back from a three-game absence, but his return could mean less playing time for Andersson Garcia. Through 13 games with the Jazz, Konchar has averaged 2.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game.

Ace Bailey SG | UTA
Jazz's Ace Bailey: Good to go Wednesday
Bailey (concussion) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Bailey has been cleared to return versus Minnesota after missing Sunday's loss to Sacramento while in the league's concussion protocol. With the rookie first-rounder returning to action, fewer minutes will be available for the likes of Andersson Garcia and Elijah Harkless. Bailey has averaged 16.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 28.7 minutes per game over 10 appearances since the All-Star break.

Egor Demin SG | BKN
Nets' Egor Demin: Undergoes foot procedure
Demin underwent a non-surgical procedure to address plantar fasciitis in his left foot, and there's hope he will make a full recovery in time for NBA Summer League, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports
Demin was shut down for the season earlier in March due to a lingering battle with plantar fasciitis. The rookie guard underwent a procedure to address the issue, and it looks like he'll be ready in more than enough time for the start of the 2026-27 campaign. Demin averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds across 25.2 minutes per game in 2025-26.

Kevin Porter PG | MIL
Bucks' Kevin Porter: Questionable for Thursday
Porter (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Utah.
Porter is still dealing with right knee synovitis, which has already caused him to miss five games this month. If the 25-year-old guard is held out of Thursday's contest, AJ Green and Ousmane Dieng would be candidates for expanded roles, while Cam Thomas could rejoin the rotation.

Myles Turner C | MIL
Bucks' Myles Turner: Questionable for Thursday
Turner is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to a right calf strain.
After missing Tuesday's loss to the Cavaliers, Turner is in jeopardy of being out once again Thursday. Jericho Sims would likely start at center if Turner cannot play, while Pete Nance would likely find himself more involved in the frontcourt.

Kyle Kuzma PF | MIL
Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Probable for Thursday
Kuzma is probable for Thursday's game in Utah due to a right elbow contusion.
Kuzma is dealing with a bruised elbow on his shooting arm, but it looks like he plans to play through it. Check back for official confirmation on Kuzma's status closer to Thursday's tipoff.

Quinten Post C | GS
Warriors' Quinten Post: Good to go
Post (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Post missed Monday's contest, but he'll be back in action for Wednesday's contest. With Al Horford (calf) sidelined, Post will look to mix in behind Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis in the frontcourt.

Gary Payton II PG | GS
Warriors' Gary Payton: Upgraded to available
Payton (lower leg) is available for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
As expected, the swingman is shedding a probable designation with a left tibial contusion. Payton is handling a significant role recently, averaging 13.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 steals in 23.0 minutes per tilt over his last eight appearances.

Moses Moody SG | GS
Warriors' Moses Moody: No timetable for return
Moody (wrist) hasn't progressed as well as the Warriors had hoped, and he remains without a timetable for return, Nick Friedell of The Athletic reports.
Moody hasn't played in a game since March 2 due to a sprained right wrist, and according to head coach Steve Kerr, Moody is behind schedule in his recovery. Per Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com, there had been optimism that Moody would return during the Warriors' road trip that ends March 23, but he is still wearing a brace on his right hand. He can be considered week-to-week until another update is provided.
