Isaac is out for Thursday's game against the Kings due to a sprained left knee.

Thursday will mark an eighth consecutive absence for Isaac. The veteran forward carries no definitive timeline for his return to the court and can be considered out indefinitely.

Wagner (ankle) won't play Thursday against the Kings.

Wagner will miss a 19th straight game Thursday, but he may be drawing closer to a return after practicing with the G League's Osceola Magic on Tuesday. Tristan da Silva will continue to occupy a spot on the top unit while the Magic remain without Wagner and Anthony Black (abdomen).

McGowens is out for Thursday's game against the Pistons due to a right toe fracture.

McGowens last appeared during the March 8 win over the Wizards and holds no timetable for a return to action. His absence opens up a few extra minutes for Jeremiah Fears in the backcourt.

Murphy is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons with right ankle soreness.

Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and with the Pelicans no longer in the mix for a playoff spot, a maintenance day is surely on the table. If he's held out Thursday, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole could take on larger roles.

Suggs is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings due to an illness.

Suggs is at risk of missing a third straight contest with the ailment. If the guard isn't feeling well enough to play Thursday, more playing time at point guard would be open for Jevon Carter and Jamal Cain.

Murray (Achilles) is listed questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit.

With the Pelicans no longer in the mix for a postseason spot, the team is likely to exercise caution with Murray and hold him out for one half of back-to-back sets. Even if Murray ends up playing Thursday, he'll likely receive a maintenance day for his right Achilles in Friday's game in Toronto.

Leonard (ankle) remains questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

A recent report ruled Leonard out, but it has since been deleted. On the official injury report, Leonard remains questionable to play. In his most recent outing Monday, he had 28 points (8-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 25 minutes.

Hayes is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic due to left toe inflammation.

Hayes is in danger of missing a second consecutive contest due to a toe issue. With Russell Westbrook (foot) already ruled out, Devin Carter could be in for a featured role at point guard versus Orlando.

Achiuwa (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against Orlando.

Achiuwa remains day-to-day after missing Tuesday's game against the Hornets. If he misses another contest, Daeqwon Plowden could be poised for another healthy workload in the frontcourt.

Westbrook (foot) is out for Thursday's game against Orlando.

Westbrook will be sidelined for a third straight contest Thursday. The Kings don't have anything left to play for, so the team may be cautious about bringing the veteran back. Devin Carter could see another sizable workload in Westbrook's absence.
