Cade Cunningham SG | DET
Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Unlikely to play Wednesday
Cunningham (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Cunningham will likely miss a third straight game due to a hip injury. In his absence, Jaden Ivey has moved to point guard, allowing Malik Beasley to start at shooting guard. If Cunningham is indeed ruled out, his next chance to suit up would be Friday in Indiana.

Talen Horton-Tucker SG | CHI
Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Good to go
Horton-Tucker (thumb) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
As expected, Horton-Tucker has been upgraded from probable to available. With Patrick Williams (foot) still out, Horton-Tucker should see minutes off the bench against Washington.

Nick Richards C | CHA
Hornets' Nick Richards: Another absence coming
Richards (ribs) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Heat.
Richards will miss his 13th straight contest Wednesday due to a right rib fracture. However, Richards recently went through practice in the G League, and his next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Knicks.

Dru Smith SG | MIA
Heat's Dru Smith: Out Tuesday
Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Smith is slated to miss a second straight game due to a knee injury. His role has been sporadic this season, so his absence shouldn't impact Miami's rotation, especially considering the Heat are getting Terry Rozier (foot) back from a two-game absence.

Terry Rozier SG | MIA
Heat's Terry Rozier: Getting green light
Rozier (foot) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
As expected, Rozier has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action following a two-game absence due to a foot injury. In November (eight appearances), Rozier is averaging 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists while shooting only 35.3 percent from the field.

Mark Williams C | CHA
Hornets' Mark Williams: Still out
Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Miami.
Williams and Nick Richards (ribs) both remain out, but they appear to be nearing a return to game action after recently going through a workout with the Hornets' G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm. Williams' next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Knicks, but that's the first half of a back-to-back set. Given all the injuries to Charlotte's frontcourt, Taj Gibson and Tidjane Salaun have taken on leading roles.
-
Tre Mann PG | CHA
Hornets' Tre Mann: Will remain out Wednesday
Mann (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Miami.
Mann will miss a third straight game due to a low back injury. Seth Curry, Nick Smith and Vasilije Micic are candidates for a few extra minutes again. Mann's next chance to suit up will come Friday versus New York, but that's the first half of a back-to-back set.
-
DaQuan Jeffries SG | CHA
Hornets' DaQuan Jeffries: Remains without return timetable
Jeffries (hand) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Heat and doesn't have an official return timetable.
Jeffries will miss his 18th straight contest to begin the season Wednesday due to a fractured right hand. Until Charlotte provides a timetable for his return, the 27-year-old big man can be considered out indefinitely.
-
Miles Bridges PF | CHA
Hornets' Miles Bridges: Remains out
Bridges (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Miami.
Bridges is slated to miss a fourth straight game after aggravating a right knee injury. Charlotte's frontcourt remains depleted, so Tidjane Salaun, Josh Green, Cody Martin, Moussa Diabate and Taj Gibson should continue playing heavy minutes. Bridges' next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Knicks, but that's the first half of a back-to-back set.
