Powell took a seat for the second leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back Monday in Portland, but he'll be back in action for Wednesday's clash. He's made seven consecutive starts for the Nets and is averaging 6.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists over that stretch.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Ruled out for Wednesday
Clowney (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Clowney will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a right wrist sprain, and it's not an encouraging sign that he continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. With Michael Porter (hamstring) and Danny Wolf (ankle) also out, Ziaire Williams, Jalen Wilson and Josh Minott are candidates to see increased minutes.

Magic's Jevon Carter: Reverting to bench role
Carter won't start Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Cleared to play
Proctor (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Proctor will be available off the bench for the first time since Feb. 27, though it remains to be seen if he'll be called upon given his current place in the rotation. He's averaging 4.8 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 10.4 minutes over 42 games so far this season.

Larry Nance Jr. PF | CLE
Cavaliers' Larry Nance: Ruled out Tuesday
Nance (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Nance was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness and won't play Tuesday. However, his absence shouldn't affect the rotation. The veteran big man's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Miami.
