  • DeMar DeRozan SF | SAC

    Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Ruled out Tuesday

    DeRozan is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to right hamstring soreness.

    It's set to be a rare absence for the star forward, who's sidelined for just the third time all year. With DeRozan out of action Tuesday, Daeqwon Plowden figures to jump into the starting lineup at small forward while veterans Malik Monk and Doug McDermott likely see an uptick in playing time.

  • LeBron James SF | LAL

    Lakers' LeBron James: Won't play Tuesday

    James (foot) won't play in Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, per Khobi Price of The California Post.

    James' absence Tuesday now leaves the Lakers without Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique). Plenty of playing time and usage is now open to the rest of the team, opening the door for Jarred Vanderbilt and perhaps even Bronny James to play meaningful minutes Wednesday.

  • Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Iffy for Wednesday

    Tyson (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

    Tyson was officially upgraded to day-to-day after nine straight games on the shelf. If he does get the green light to return, he could have some limitations in his first game back.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Listed as questionable

    Mitchell (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

    Mitchell remains day-to-day after sitting out Monday. The Cavaliers will be getting some reinforcements back Wednesday, however, as James Harden and Max Strus are no longer on the injury report.

  • Dean Wade PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Questionable for Wednesday

    Wade (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    The questionable tag is an upgrade to Wade's status and gives him a chance to end a seven-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. His return would likely create a bit of a logjam on the wing for the likes of Keon Ellis, Sam Merrill and Max Strus, especially if Jaylon Tyson (toe) also suits up.

  • James Harden PG | CLE

    Cavaliers' James Harden: Available for Wednesday

    Harden (personal) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

    As expected, Harden will return from a one-game absence. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) still listed as questionable, Harden could see a usage rate spike against the Hawks.

  • Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Ruled out with calf strain

    Bryant (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

    A left calf strain is keeping Bryant out for a second straight contest. If Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle) both remain sidelined, Larry Nance would likely serve as the No. 2 center behind Jarrett Allen on Wednesday.

  • Max Strus SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Max Strus: Removed from injury report

    Strus (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Strus sat out Monday's win over Memphis for maintenance purposes but is set to return Wednesday. The sharpshooter has started each of his last three appearances, and Strus has averaged 12.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 3.3 three-pointers in 25.1 minutes per tilt through nine outings this season.

  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Upgraded to probable

    Bagley (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

    With Bagley likely to play and Daniel Gafford (shoulder) doubtful, the former is in line for a big role at center Tuesday. Over 10 appearances as a starter for Washington and Dallas in 2025-26, Bagley has averaged 12.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 blocks in 27.1 minutes per game.

  • 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.
