Antetokounmpo (calf) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Antetokounmpo sat out the second half of a back-to-back Sunday after recently returning from a right calf strain, but he's cleared to return to action for Tuesday's contest. Through three appearances since returning from the lengthy absence, the superstar is averaging 23.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 26.0 minutes per contest.

Kuzma (back) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Kuzma missed Sunday's loss to the Magic, the second half of a back-to-back, but he's good to go for Tuesday. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) healthy, Kuzma figures to come off the bench. Over his last eight games as a reserve, Kuzma has averaged 11.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per contest.

Watkins (ankle/foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Watkins is set to miss a fourth straight game due to a sprained left ankle and foot. The rookie second-rounder's next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday in Orlando. Meanwhile, Leaky Black may continue to play meaningful minutes.

Vukcevic (thigh) is available for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Vukcevic has missed four consecutive matchups while on the mend from a left thigh bruise, but he'll be back in the mix Tuesday. He'd made five straight starts before suffering the injury, though he'll presumably fall back to a bench role now that Alex Sarr has returned to health.

Richard (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Richard will miss a fourth consecutive game while tending to a right ankle sprain. Seth Curry (back) is slated to return to action for the first time since Dec. 4 and could absorb some of Richard's minutes. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Bulls.

Kuminga is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a left knee bone bruise.

The issue continues to plague Kuminga, who's in danger of missing a third contest in a row after also missing time with the Warriors earlier this year with the same injury. If Kuminga needs to sit out once more, Zaccharie Risacher and Corey Kispert would both have a clearer path to minutes off the bench Tuesday.

Curry (back) will play Monday against the Jazz.

Curry was upgraded to probable leading up to Monday's clash, and the team has since announced that he'll be available. It's unclear whether he'll have a role in the rotation, but even if he does see action, he's likely to have his minutes monitored closely given his lengthy absence.

The Hornets transferred Evbuomwan from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

Evboumwan will join the parent club ahead of its game in Portland on Tuesday. However, the two-way player isn't guaranteed to see the court.

The Hornets recalled McNeeley from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

McNeeley will join the Hornets ahead of their next three games on the road, starting with Tuesday's matchup versus Portland. The rookie first-rounder isn't guaranteed to see the floor for the parent club and has totaled just six minutes in one appearance since Jan. 10.

Jovic (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

The Heat continue to keep Jovic from playing due to lower-back injury management. The fourth-year forward holds no definitive timetable for a return to the floor and can be considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Bucks until Miami offers an update.
