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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yabusele (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

A left ankle sprain is likely to result in a second consecutive absence for Yabusele. Nick Richards figures to continue to start in the frontcourt alongside Jalen Smith on Wednesday.

Okoro (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

It appears as though Okoro will be sidelined for an eighth straight game Wednesday. If that's the case, Leonard Miller will likely continue to see sizable workloads for the Bulls.

Simons is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers with a fractured left wrist.

It doesn't appear Simons, who has been sidelined since Feb. 21, is quite yet ready to return to the floor. His expected absence should continue to allow Tre Jones to play a prominent role in the Chicago backcourt Wednesday.
