Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn.

Gafford has been a regular on the injury report of late due to a right ankle issue, though he's suited up in each of Dallas' past 11 games. The Arkansas product has started the previous 10 contests and would be expected to retain that role if active, with Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell candidates to step into the starting five should Gafford be ruled out.

Martin is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets with a sprained left ankle.

Martin missed Dallas' final game before the All-Star break, but he's been able to play in consecutive outings since then. Over his last six appearances (three starts), Martin has averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.3 minutes per game.

Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

The Hawks last reported that Kuminga would be re-evaluated one week from Wednesday, but it appears he could have a chance to return earlier than initially indicated. Anthony Slater of ESPN.com notes the expectation is that Kuminga will ultimately gain clearance to make his team debut, but he'll need to prove his health leading up to tipoff before officially receiving the green light.

Embiid (knee/shin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

Embiid has missed five straight games while handling right knee injury management and right shin soreness, so a questionable tag represents a positive step compared to being immediately ruled out for a sixth consecutive contest. If he's unable to suit up Tuesday, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona would be in line to handle the bulk of the minutes at center for Philadelphia.

Flagg (foot) is out for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Flagg is running his absence up to four consecutive games with a left foot sprain. Thursday's matchup with the Kings marks his next chance to play. With Flagg sidelined, Max Christie and Khris Middleton both belong in the streaming mix.

Williams (personal) is available for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Williams has missed Brooklyn's last two games while dealing with a personal matter, but he'll be back in action for Tuesday's matchup. He's averaging 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.0 steals over his last five outings.

Miller signed a two-way contract with the Spurs on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

The Spurs waived Stanley Umude to create a two-way slot. Despite this move, Miller figures to spend most of his time with the Austin Spurs in the G League.

The Spurs waived Umude on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

San Antonio has decided to replace Umude's two-way roster spot with Emanuel Miller. Depsite being released by the parent club, Umude could still have a place with the G League's Austin Spurs going forward.

Smith is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets with a left calf strain.

After leaving Sunday's game against the Knicks early, Smith is in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's contest. His possible absence would allow Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards to form a timeshare at the center position, with both likely being viable streaming options in this scenario.

Simons (wrist) will not play Tuesday against Charlotte.

Simons suffered a wrist injury Saturday against the Pistons and didn't play Sunday versus the Knicks. He can be considered day-to-day until the Bulls release an update on the severity of the injury. With this news, Collin Sexton, Rob Dillingham and Tre Jones could see increased roles Tuesday.
