  • Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Downgraded to doubtful

    Williams (illness) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

    Williams was previously listed as questionable, but it appears he will miss the front end of this back-to-back set. His absence could open things up for Ryan Nembhard in the backcourt.

  • PJ Washington PF | DAL

    Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Doubtful for Tuesday

    Washington (elbow) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

    Washington was a late addition to the injury report with left elbow soreness, and it looks like the team will hold him out for the first leg of this back-to-back set. As a result, Khris Middleton could become more involved in the frontcourt.

  • JD Davison PG | HOU

    Rockets' JD Davison: Lands two-year deal with Houston

    The Rockets are signing Davison to a new two-year deal Tuesday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

    The move fills Houston's open roster spot ahead of the postseason. Davison spent most of his time with the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers as a two-way player this year, but he's now set to provide the parent club with emergency backcourt depth during the final week of the regular season as well as the playoffs.

  • Grizzlies' Adama Bal: Second 10-day deal with Memphis

    The Grizzlies signed Bal to a second 10-day contract Tuesday.

    With the Grizzlies hurting for healthy bodies during the final week of the season, Bal is back with Memphis to help soak up more playing time. Over six appearances, Bal has averaged 8.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.2 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes per game while shooting 43.3 percent from beyond the arc.

  • L.J. Cryer PG | GS

    Warriors' LJ Cryer: Iffy for Tuesday

    Cryer (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

    Cryer was previously listed as probable for the Warriors. With Stephen Curry healthy again, Cryer's path to minutes is no longer clear.

  • Jaden Hardy SG | WAS

    Wizards' Jaden Hardy: Added to injury report

    Hardy (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

    Hardy is a late addition to the injury report with lower-back spasms. If the fourth-year guard is ultimately downgraded to out, more playing time would be available to Bub Carrington and Sharife Cooper in the backcourt.

  • Tolu Smith PF | DET

    Pistons' Tolu Smith: Secures two-year deal

    Smith signed a two-year contract with the Pistons on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Smith was previously on a two-way contract with Detroit. He's made a total of 13 NBA appearances, posting averages of 3.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.5 blocks in 10.0 minutes per contest.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Modest line in loss

    Okongwu finished Monday's 108-105 loss to the Knicks with 12 points (4-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes.

    This was a modest line by Okongwu's standards in what has been a terrific campaign for the center. Across 72 appearances, he holds averages of 15.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers.

  • Cavaliers' Nae'Qwan Tomlin: Handles extra minutes Monday

    Tomlin ended with 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 142-126 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Tomlin saw a boost in playing time during Monday's rout, as he reached the 20-minute marker for just the second time since early February. The forward was left out of the rotation entirely during Thursday's win over the Warriors, so he doesn't appear to have a stable role.

  • Tyrese Proctor PG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Chips in 10 points off bench

    Proctor registered 10 points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 142-126 win over the Grizzlies.

    Proctor saw his largest workload since returning from a quadriceps strain in March, though that likely had more to do with the lopsided score Monday. The guard has averaged 5.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 10.4 minutes per tilt in his last six games.
