NBA Player News

Peter (two-way) is listed out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Peter will be in street clothes for a second straight game while the Pacers look to manage his availability as the season winds down. The two-way player has already suited up in 36 games this season, so he can be active for just 14 more contests the rest of the way before Indiana would need to upgrade him to a standard NBA contract.

Gafford (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Gafford has been a mainstay on the injury report of late due to a right ankle injury but will shed his questionable tag and suit up Tuesday. The big man has started 10 consecutive games for Dallas, averaging 9.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.2 combined steals-plus-blocks and 1.3 assists in 24.1 minutes per tilt over that stretch.

Martin (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

No surprise here, as Martin was previously considered probable to play. Over his last six outings (three starts), Martin has averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.3 minutes per game. The veteran swingman could see a few extra field-goal attempts fall his way, considering Cooper Flagg (foot) is out.

Anderson (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Anderson is in danger of missing a third straight game due to right knee patellar tendinitis. If the veteran forward is ultimately ruled out, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks would be candidates for increased playing time.

Aldama (knee) is listed out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Aldama hasn't played since Feb. 4 and will now miss his eighth straight game due to right knee injury management. Back on Feb. 18, Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo told Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal that Aldama wasn't able to return to practice following the All-Star break, but the veteran big man was seen getting some shots up off to the side. Given the lack of updates on his status in addition to the 21-35 Grizzlies' place in the standings, Aldama seems likely to miss additional time beyond Wednesday.

Jerome (illness) is available to play for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

After missing Monday's game against the Kings, Jerome is no longer on the injury report. With this news, Scotty Pippen and Cam Spencer could be less involved for the Grizzlies.

Coward (knee) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Warriors.

Coward will be sidelined for a fifth straight game due to an injury that the Grizzlies are now labeling as a right posterior capsule sprain, after he had previously been listed with a hyperextended knee. Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said shortly after the All-Star break ended that Coward is making progress in his recovery, but the rookie isn't believed to have resumed practicing with the team. With the 21-35 Grizzlies well removed from playoff contention, expect the team to take a conservative approach with bringing Coward back from the knee injury.

Mobley (calf) will be on an unspecified minutes restriction in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

The expectation is that Mobley's playing time will be bumped up "a bit" from Sunday's loss to Oklahoma City, when he logged 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes. The 24-year-old big man has appeared in two of Cleveland's last three outings following a seven-game absence due to a left calf strain, and it wouldn't be surprising to see his name pop up on the injury report ahead of the second leg of this back-to-back set in Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.

Kuminga (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Kuminga hasn't played since Jan. 22 due to a left knee bone bruise but will be available to make his Hawks debut Tuesday. The 23-year-old forward appeared in 20 regular-season outings (13 starts) with Golden State before being traded to Atlanta on Feb. 4. With the Warriors this season, he averaged 12.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.8 minutes per contest. It wouldn't be surprising to see Kuminga operate under a minutes restriction following the extended absence. Still, his return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Corey Kispert and Mouhamed Gueye.

Jones (back) is available to play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Jones will shake off his probable tag for this contest. Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell are both active, but Jones could still see a sizable workload.
