Simons (wrist) is out for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Simons, who has been out since Feb. 21 with a fractured left wrist, will not return for this contest, but he's getting closer and is officially considered day-to-day. His next chance to return comes Wednesday against the 76ers.

Mbeng signed a second 10-day contract with the Jazz on Monday.

Mbeng saw 33.4 minutes per contest across his first five outings with the Jazz, averaging 4.8 points, 4.2 assists and 4.0 rebounds. He's likely to remain heavily involved going forward, especially while Keyonte George (hamstring) and Isaiah Collier (hamstring) are sidelined.

Jaquez (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Jaquez will be returning from a two-game absence Monday. Additionally, Andrew Wiggins (toe) and Norman Powell (calf) are cleared to suit up, so Jaquez will likely see a modest role off the bench.

Wiggins (toe) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Wiggins is all set to return after sitting out the Heat's last eight games due to left big toe sesamoiditis. While he'll likely slide back in the starting lineup, Wiggins may be under a minutes restriction in his first game since March 5. Wiggins has started in every one of his 57 appearances this season, averaging 15.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.0 three-pointers, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.0 minutes per game.

Powell (calf) is good to go for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Powell is set to return after missing Saturday's game against the Rockets. Additionally, both Jaime Jaquez (hip) and Andrew Wiggins (toe) have the green light to suit up as well. Over his past three appearances, Powell has averaged 19.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 31.7 minutes per game.

Castle (hip) is available to play Monday against the Heat.

Castle was a full participant at shootaround and will shed his questionable tag after two straight games on the shelf. With this news, Dylan Harper may be less involved, although it's worth mentioning that Devin Vassell (hamstring) remains questionable.

Castle (hip) participated in Monday's morning shootaround, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Castle remains questionable for Monday's game against Miami on the official injury report, but he's trending in the right direction after missing the past two games for San Antonio. Dylan Harper could see another healthy workload if Castle and/or Devin Vassell (hamstring) are unable to play.

Small is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks with lower back soreness.

Small was a very late addition to the injury report. He's been averaging 15.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists over his last seven games, so his potential absence would open up a lot of minutes in the backcourt.

Jarreau signed a second 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Monday.

The Grizzlies also signed Tyler Burton to a second 10-day deal. Jarreau appeared in all five of the Grizzlies' games after signing with the team March 13, averaging 6.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.6 steals in 21.2 minutes per contest.

Burton signed a second 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

This was a no-brainer for a Memphis team that is struggling with injuries. During his first stint with the club, Burton averaged 8.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks in 25.2 minutes.
