Rui Hachimura PF | LAL
Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Iffy for Wednesday
Hachimura (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Hachimura was held out of Monday's game against the Pistons with right calf soreness, and he's now in danger of missing a second straight matchup. He'll presumably get checked out again Wednesday, at which point the Lakers could have an update on his availability.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Iffy for Wednesday
Gafford (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Gafford exited Monday's overtime loss to the Warriors with what the team initially called a right shoulder contusion, though he's now being listed as questionable due to a right shoulder sprain. If the big man is unable to suit up Wednesday, Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell are candidates for expanded roles.

Andrew Nembhard PG | IND
Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Back on injury report for Wednesday
Nembhard is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to a right calf contusion.
Nembhard was listed on the injury report as questionable ahead of Monday's game with the same calf injury and was ultimately cleared to play, so the fact that he's tagged as probable is likely a sign that he's on track to suit up again Wednesday. Expect confirmation on his availability closer to tipoff.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Expected to play Wednesday
Nesmith is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to right ankle injury management.
The Pacers are monitoring the health of Nesmith, who remains likely to play Wednesday. The swingman has averaged 18.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 3.0 three-pointers over 29.8 minutes per contest in his last seven games, shooting a sizzling 47.7 percent from beyond the arc during this stretch.

Pascal Siakam PF | IND
Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Listed probable for Wednesday
Siakam is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to a right knee sprain.
This appears to be a precautionary listing for Siakam, who erupted for 37 points in Monday's victory over the Magic. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks leading up to Wednesday, he should get the green light to suit up.

Joel Embiid C | PHI
76ers' Joel Embiid: Game-time call for Wednesday
Embiid (oblique) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Embiid hasn't taken the court since Feb. 26 after picking up a right oblique strain. However, he's been back on the court recently to get work in and was scheduled to complete a more intensive workout Tuesday, per Austin Krell of OnPattison.com, so it appears he's getting closer to a return. The team should have an update on his status for Wednesday closer to game time.

Quentin Grimes SG | PHI
76ers' Quentin Grimes: Questionable with illness
Grimes is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls with an illness.
After missing Monday's loss to the Thunder, Grimes is looking to keep his absence to a one-game minimum. The swingman was already slated for a diminished role, with Paul George returning from a suspension Wednesday, but Justin Edwards and Trendon Watford could still see more playing time if Grimes is ruled out.

Jalen Johnson SF | ATL
Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Could return Wednesday
Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit.
Johnson is in danger of missing his third straight matchup due to left shoulder inflammation. He'll presumably need to prove his health during shootaround and pregame warmups to gain clearance to take the court Wednesday.

Moses Moody SG | GS
Warriors' Moses Moody: Out for season after tearing knee
Moody was diagnosed Tuesday with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee following an MRI, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. He's expected to undergo season-ending surgery in the near future.
The Warriors aren't likely to provide a timeline for Moody to return to the court until surgery is performed, but Joey Akeley of SI.com relays that surgery to address patellar tendon tears typically entail a 9-to-12-month recovery. With that in mind, Moody looks to be in danger of not only missing the remainder of the current season, but also a large chunk of the 2026-27 campaign. The knee injury brings an early end to what had been shaping up to be a career-best season for the fifth-year swingman, who averaged a career-high 12.1 points to go with 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 triples, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.7 minutes per game. With Moody out of commission, the Warriors are likely to lean more heavily on De'Anthony Melton, Gary Payton and Will Richard on the wing for the remainder of the campaign.

Stephen Curry PG | GS
Warriors' Stephen Curry: Won't return Wednesday
Curry (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Nets, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Curry, who has been sidelined since the start of February, remains without a clear target date to return. Slater reports that Curry is hopeful to get in a scrimmage in the near future to see how his knee responds, and that should be the final hurdle in his rehab.
