NBA Player News

Anunoby (toe) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Anunoby had previously been listed as questionable, but he looks poised to put an end to a four-game absence due to a right toenail avulsion. The veteran forward was a full participant in practice Wednesday and said afterward that he expects to play Thursday.

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

With the Hornets coming out of the break, Reeves is being called upon to provide the team with emergency depth. He'll likely be back with the Swarm in the near future.

The Celtics are converting Tonje's two-way deal to a 10-day contract, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports Thursday.

Tonje's two-way contract was acquired by the Celtics ahead of the deadline. He was a standout with Boston's G League affiliate in Maine during limited action, but at least in the short term, he will get a shot to earn some minutes at the NBA level.

New York assigned Dadiet to the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday.

With the Knicks signing Jeremy Sochan, opportunities for Dadiet will be limited going forward. However, it's possible Dadiet is recalled ahead of Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Richard (knee) is available to play Thursday against Boston.

After missing the final game before the All-Star break, Richard is no longer appearing on the injury report. He's expected to play a minimal role on the wings moving forward.

Evbuomwan (illness) isn't listed on the Hornets' injury report for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

The two-way player appears to have moved past the illness that kept him out for the G League Greensboro Swarm's final two contests before the All-Star break. Though Evbuomwan has rejoined the Hornets, he's unlikely to be included in head coach Charles Lee's rotation.

Banton signed a 10-day contract with the Celtics on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Banton was quickly scooped up by Boston after his previous 10-day contract with the Clippers expired. Banton has plenty of NBA experience and is expected to be an emergency depth option in Boston.

Morant is continuing to experience discomfort during his recovery from a UCL sprain in his left elbow, and he'll be reevaluated in two weeks, the Grizzlies announced.

Morant has been sidelined since Jan. 21 due to a UCL sprain, and his recovery hasn't gone according to plan. Despite being almost a full month into the rehab process, Morant's elbow continues to be a source of pain. While Morant is absent, look for Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen to handle most of the point guard minutes. If Morant is cleared after 14 days, he could be back for a March 7 game against the Clippers.

Caldwell-Pope is scheduled to undergo surgery on his right pinky finger Wednesday.

Caldwell-Pope is expected to make a full recovery from his surgery, but the Grizzlies will wait until after the surgery to provide a timeline for the veteran's return. He has averaged 21.3 minutes per game this season while serving in a bench role, and those minutes will likely be absorbed by Taylor Hendricks, Ty Jerome and Jahmai Mashack for as long as Caldwell-Pope is sidelined.

Westbrook (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against Orlando.

Westbrook missed the Kings' final game before the All-Star break due to left ankle soreness. The veteran point guard has moved past the injury and will be a full-go for Thursday's contest. With Zach LaVine (hand) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the season, plenty of usage should be available for Westbrook going forward.
