Jerome (shoulder) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Jerome will return from a one-game absence with a bruised left shoulder. The guard has been excellent when healthy in 2025-26, averaging 20.1 points, 5.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 22.1 minutes per contest through 12 games this season.

Mathurin has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans due to right toe injury recovery.

Mathurin hasn't missed a game since Feb. 8 and has seen an uptick in playing time of late, so his absence Wednesday seems to be a scheduled rest day. If all goes according to plan, expect the Arizona product to be available for the second half of the Clippers' back-to-back Thursday, also against New Orleans.

Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against New Orleans.

This designation isn't much of a surprise, as the Clippers noted after Monday's matchup that Leonard would accompany the team on the road trip, and he's being considered day-to-day. Derrick Jones should be in line for more chances at small forward if Leonard is unable to go Wednesday.

Collier (knee) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Collier left Sunday's loss to the Kings due to a right knee contusion, but he's good to go for Wednesday. Over his last seven appearances, Collier has averaged 17.6 points, 6.6 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 25.8 minutes per game.

Robinson (back) is available for Tuesday's game against Indiana, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Robinson popped up on the injury report because of back tightness. However, it won't keep him off the floor Tuesday. The 27-year-old is coming off a four-point, 10-rebound, three-steal and two-block effort over 17 minutes in Sunday's win over Golden State. While he hasn't been a consistent producer offensively, there's a chance he will get more involved on the scoring end, considering Jalen Brunson (neck/ankle) won't suit up.

Garland is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans due to left toe injury management.

The Clippers are considering sitting Garland down Wednesday for the first half of this back-to-back. Expect another update on his availability closer to game time.

Alvarado will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

With Jalen Brunson (neck/ankle) sitting out Tuesday, Alvarado is in line for his first start of the season. He hasn't reached the 20-minute mark since the Feb. 24 loss to the Cavaliers, but Alvarado looks to be a viable plug-and-play option for fantasy managers in a pinch.

Antetokounmpo (ankle) won't play Tuesday night against the Cavaliers, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

Antetokounmpo carried a questionable tag into Tuesday due to a left ankle sprain, and the team has since chosen to sit him down. Milwaukee has several other key rotation players on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash, including Myles Turner (calf), Ryan Rollins (illness), and Ousmane Dieng (illness). So, the squad could be thin in the frontcourt depending on how things shake out leading up to tipoff.

McBride (pelvis) resumed participating in contact drills Tuesday but remains without a timeline for a return to game action, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

McBride underwent sports hernia surgery Feb. 6 and is "progressing well," according to the team. Stefan Bondy of The New York Post relays that McBride is optimistic about a return before the start of the postseason, but the team isn't yet ready to hone in on a target date for the 25-year-old to resume playing at this stage of his rehab program.

Brunson (ankle/neck) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Brunson was initially listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest due to right ankle injury management and a cervical strain, though he was downgraded to doubtful Tuesday morning and has now officially been ruled out. His next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Nets. With Brunson sidelined, Landry Shamet and Jose Alvarado are candidates for increased playing time, while Tyler Kolek may return to the rotation.
