NBA Player News

Krejci (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Krejci will miss his first game since being traded to the Trail Blazers due to a left calf contusion. The guard has scored in double figures just once since the calendar flipped to March, averaging 5.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 19.0 minutes per contest across seven games this month. Krejci's absence could lead to a slight uptick in minutes for Sidy Cissoko or other reserves such as Kris Murray and Blake Wesley.

Green (back) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Green was previously tagged as probable and will suit up as expected after missing the previous two contests due to lingering lower-back soreness. Through five March appearances, the veteran is averaging 9.6 points, 6.8 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Reid (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Reid picked up a right shoulder injury during Sunday's loss to Oklahoma City, and he's now in danger of missing Tuesday's matchup. He did manage to play through the issue the rest of the way Sunday, which seemingly bodes well for his status against Phoenix.

Edwards is out for Tuesday's game against the Suns due to right knee soreness.

It's set to be a rare absence for Edwards, who hasn't missed a game since the Jan. 26 win over the Warriors. It's possible the Timberwolves have an eye on their franchise centerpiece returning Wednesday, when Minnesota faces Utah. Ayo Dosunmu stands out as the most likely replacement at shooting guard for Edwards on Tuesday in the starting lineup, while Bones Hyland and Kyle Anderson also have an opportunity to claim a more sizable role.

Potter (triceps) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Potter suffered an injury late in Sunday's loss to the Bucks that has been labeled a right triceps strain, putting his availability for Tuesday into question. With Pascal Siakam (knee) doubtful and Obi Toppin (foot) also questionable, Kobe Brown and Jalen Slawson are candidates to see extended opportunities if Potter and others are ultimately ruled out.

Toppin is questionable for Tuesday's game against New York due to right foot injury management.

Toppin was also listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Milwaukee and was ultimately cleared to play, so it seems this could be a precautionary listing. The Pacers should have more to share on his status as tipoff approaches.

Sheppard (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

A sprained left ankle could cost Sheppard a second consecutive outing Tuesday. The Pacers could be severely undermanned versus New York, so the team could need to call upon some of their two-way players from the G League's Noblesville Boom to help pick up the slack and soak up extra minutes.

Jackson (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Jackson returned from a two-game absence Sunday but is now iffy for Tuesday's contest due to a right calf strain. He could see an uptick in playing time if active, with Andrew Nembhard (calf), T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Ben Sheppard (ankle) also listed as questionable. However, Kam Jones could be the one to see increased opportunities if Jackson is ultimately ruled out.

McConnell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to right hamstring soreness.

McConnell was cleared to play Sunday against Milwaukee after nursing a right hamstring issue over the weekend, so the fact that he's now back on the injury report means he's not yet completely over the injury. The team will presumably monitor him closely leading up to Tuesday's tipoff to determine whether he'll be able to take the court.

Dieng (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Dieng is at risk of missing a third consecutive contest due to an illness. Either Ryan Rollins or AJ Green would start in the backcourt if Dieng isn't feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday, while Kyle Kuzma would also see a boost in streaming appeal in this scenario.
