Collin Sexton SG | CHI
Bulls' Collin Sexton: Cleared to play Wednesday
Sexton (lower leg) will play in Wednesday's game against Toronto, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Sexton was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest, though he'll shed that tag and return from a four-game absence. His return may result in Rob Dillingham seeing fewer minutes, though Jaden Ivey (knee) and Anfernee Simons (wrist) are both still out. Over four March appearances (one start), Sexton has averaged 25.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 30.0 minutes per contest.

Isaac Okoro SF | CHI
Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Remains out Wednesday
Okoro (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Okoro will miss a fifth straight game due to a right knee issue, and his next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Cleveland. With the 25-year-old wing unavailable, Leonard Miller will likely continue seeing increased minutes.

Grayson Allen SG | PHO
Suns' Grayson Allen: Questionable for Thursday
Allen (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game in San Antonio.
Allen is in danger of missing his second straight game, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround. If Allen does need to spend another game on the sidelines, Ryan Dunn would have a chance to remain in the rotation.

Royce O'Neale PF | PHO
Suns' Royce O'Neale: Iffy for Thursday
O'Neale is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs due to left knee soreness.
The veteran forward is at risk of missing his first game of the season Thursday. Rasheer Fleming and Haywood Highsmith stand out as the most likely choices to join the starting lineup at power forward in the event that O'Neale is ruled out.

Pascal Siakam PF | IND
Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Without timetable for return
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Wednesday that Siakam (knee) is making good progress but remains without a timetable for a return, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Carlisle believes that Siakam will play again at some point this season, though he's set to miss a sixth consecutive contest Wednesday due to a right knee sprain. The star forward can be considered week-to-week until the Pacers offer an update on his progress, and with the club holding a 15-54 record entering Wednesday's contest, Indiana may continue to exercise extreme caution with Siakam. With the 31-year-old sidelined, Kobe Brown, Jarace Walker and Jalen Slawson are candidates for increased playing time.

Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Available Wednesday
Williams (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against Indiana, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Williams will return from a one-game absence due to a lingering knee issue. The veteran big man will likely fill his typical bench role. In 47 appearances this season, Williams is averaging 6.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.6 blocks across 16.9 minutes. It's worth noting he's played 20 or more minutes in six of his last seven outings, though.

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.
