The Grizzlies signed Prosper to a standard two-year deal Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Prosper was previously on a two-way contract, but the forward has impressed in recent outings with so many injuries on the roster. Over his last five games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per contest.

Gordon (hamstring) is targeting a return to the Nuggets lineup Friday against the Knicks, Sam Amick of The Athletic reports.

Gordon has been sidelined for Denver's last 16 games after aggravating a right hamstring injury Jan. 23, and while playing in Thursday's game against the Lakers appears to be off the table, the veteran forward may have a shot at being available for the second leg of a back-to-back set. After such a lengthy layoff due to the hamstring injury, Gordon will likely face a strict minutes restriction in his first game back in action and could be brought off the bench.

McDaniels accumulated 16 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 victory over the Grizzlies.

The 25-year-old forward scored in double digits for a fifth straight game while pocketing at least one steal for a ninth straight contest. During that latter stretch, McDaniels is averaging 16.0 points, 5.3 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 threes while shooting 56.7 percent from the floor.

Randle posted 23 points (7-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 win over the Grizzlies.

Anthony Edwards was the start of the show for Minnesota with a 41-point eruption, but Randle was a strong second fiddle as he produced his 15th double-double of the season. The veteran forward has been in a lull, averaging just 12.4 points, 5.4 boards, 5.0 assists and 1.2 combined steals and blocks over the prior five games while shooting just 35.7 percent from the floor, but Tuesday's performance could be a sign Randle is ready to break back out.

Jackson notched 12 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 loss to Minnesota.

The double-double was the first of the season for Jackson, who has been on a productive run over the last month. In his last 12 games, the third-year forward is averaging 16.0 points, 6.4 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.2 blocks in 25.7 minutes while shooting 55.8 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent from long distance. With the Grizzlies' frontcourt not getting any healthier -- Zach Edey is set to miss the rest of the season after undergoing ankle surgery Tuesday, while Brandon Clarke (calf) remains without a clear timeline for his return and Santi Aldama (knee) has played only one game since the beginning of February -- Jackson's workload may not shrink any time soon.

Wells contributed 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

The 19 points led the Grizzlies on the night, as Wells scored in double digits for the 13th time in his last 14 games. Over that stretch, the second-year forward is averaging 14.9 points, 2.8 boards, 2.4 threes, 1.9 assists and 0.9 steals in 25.6 minutes while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor and 45.8 percent from beyond the arc.

The Hornets recalled Reeves from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday.

Charlotte will summon Reeves and fellow two-way Tosan Evbuomwan from the G League to provide added depth in Wednesday's game against the Celtics in the second leg of a back-to-back set for the Hornets. Reeves has made eight appearances for the Hornets this season but has played in just two games since the calendar flipped to 2026.

The Hornets recalled Evbuomwan from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday.

Charlotte will bring Evbuomwan and fellow two-way player Antonio Reeves back from the G League to provide depth Wednesday in Boston in the second leg of a back-to-back set for the Hornets. Since signing with Charlotte a little less than a month ago, Evbuomwan has yet to make his Hornets debut and has played exclusively for Greensboro.

Sexton registered a team-high 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound and two assists over 28 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 116-108 loss to the Thunder.

Josh Giddey (ankle) and Matas Buzelis (ankle) both left the game early, leading to more usage for Sexton. The 27-year-old guard has produced 20-plus points in back-to-back contests, and in 10 games (two starts) since joining the Bulls, Sexton is averaging 13.6 points, 2.1 boards, 1.7 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.4 steals over 24.1 minutes.

Oduro agreed Wednesday with the Pelicans on a two-way contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

A second-year big man out of Providence, Oduro could get the chance to make his NBA debut at some point during the final month of the season now that he's been awarded the Pelicans' third and final two-way spot. After being cut by the Pelicans in October, the 6-foot-9, 240-pound center has spent the entire season in the G League with New Orleans' affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron. Through 35 appearances with the Squadron, Oduro has averaged 14.4 points (on 56.3 percent shooting from the field), 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks in 28.6 minutes per game.
