McNeeley (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

McNeeley has been dealing with a left ankle sprain since early February and will not be available for Sunday's contest. He appeared to fall out of the Hornets' rotation prior to his ankle issue, so his return -- which could take place Tuesday against the Bulls -- wouldn't make much of an impact.

Claxton (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Claxton is set to return from a three-game absence after dealing with a right ankle sprain and right hip soreness of late. As a result, Day'Ron Sharpe is likely to retreat to the bench. Through five February appearances, Claxton has averaged 14.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 25.6 minutes per contest.

Williams (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Williams will be sidelined for a second consecutive game while attending to a personal matter, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the Mavericks. Terance Mann, Jalen Wilson and Ochai Agbaji are slated to see more minutes off the bench in Williams' absence.

Mobley (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Mobley sat out Friday's win over Charlotte -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left calf injury management. However, he's set to return to action Sunday. The big man returned from a seven-game absence in Thursday's win over Brooklyn, during which he supplied 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes.

Nesmith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Nesmith will miss a second consecutive game while tending to a right ankle sprain, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the 76ers. Ben Sheppard and Kobe Brown should operate in elevated roles in Nesmith's absence.

Nembhard (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Nembhard was held out of the second leg of the Pacers' back-to-back set Friday against the Wizards while managing a lower-back injury, but the fourth-year pro has the chance to return for Sunday's contest against Dallas. He has averaged 13.6 points, 6.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 2.0 threes and 0.8 steals over 30.6 minutes per game over his last five outings.

White (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

White has yet to make his Hornets debut due to a left calf strain and is without a clear timetable for a return. He should be considered highly questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Barnes (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee.

Barnes was excused from Saturday's practice and won't suit up Sunday. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Thunder. With the star forward sidelined, Jakob Poeltl and Sandro Mamukelashvili are candidates to enter the starting five, while Collin Murray-Boyles, Gradey Dick and Jamison Battle could see increased minutes as well.

Potter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Potter has been working through an ankle injury since before the All-Star break but has played in each of the Pacers' last six games (one start), during which he averaged 12.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.2 threes over 25.2 minutes per game. He's recently taken on an expanded role due to the absence of Pascal Siakam (hamstring), so Kobe Brown and Quenton Jackson would be in line for more minutes if Potter is unable to play Sunday.

Murray (Achilles) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Murray appears to be nearing a return to game action after tearing his Achilles in January 2025, though he won't play Saturday. His next opportunity to make his season debut will come Tuesday against the Warriors.
