Risacher (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Risacher will shed his questionable tag due to a left quadriceps contusion and suit up in Atlanta's final game before the All-Star break. The second-year forward has appeared in each of the Hawks' last five outings, averaging 7.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.6 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Johnson (knee) is available for Wednesday's game in Charlotte, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson is back after a one-game absence, which will likely result in Asa Newell heading back to the second unit. Mouhamed Gueye's minutes figure to dip with Johnson active and CJ McCollum likely won't be as active on offense.

Daniels (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Charlotte, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Daniels will shed a questionable tag in time to suit up Wednesday night. The 22-year-old is averaging 10.1 points, 6.8 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 32.0 minutes in his last 10 appearances.

Thompson (two-way) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

A two-way player, Thompson hasn't seen action for the Pacers or their G League affiliate, the Noblesville Boom, since last Wednesday while he's been managing a thumb issue, but the injury doesn't look like it will prevent him from playing against Brooklyn. With eight other players listed out with injuries and with Micah Potter (ankle) and Jarace Walker (illness) considered questionable, Thompson appears likely to be included in the rotation Wednesday.

The Spurs waived Sochan on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Sochan fell out of the rotation in San Antonio, but he's expected to receive interest from multiple teams upon clearing waivers. If Sochan lands in a spot where he's able to earn 20-plus minutes per game, he could emerge as a deep-league asset for his ability to rack up dimes and defensive stats.

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

Waters will be sidelined for a fifth straight game and remains without a timetable to return.

Castle is listed questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors due to a right pelvic contusion.

Castle didn't return to Tuesday's 136-108 win over the Lakers after suffering the injury when he landed hard on the court on a dunk attempt in the second quarter. Though he appears to have avoided anything significant, the Spurs could opt to play it safe with Castle and hold him out for their final game before the All-Star break. Dylan Harper, Julian Champagnie and Carter Bryant could be among the beneficiaries from playing-time standpoints if Castle ends up being ruled out ahead of Wednesday's 10 p.m. ET opening tip.

Booker is questionable to face the Thunder on Wednesday due to right ankle injury management.

The Suns are on the second leg of a back-to-back set, and given Booker returned just two games ago, there's a chance the medical staff will err on the side of caution and hold him out of Wednesday's game. If Booker is ruled out, Jordan Goodwin would see a boost.

Anthony (not with team) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Anthony has yet to report to the Suns after being sent to Phoenix at the deadline. It appears as though a buyout could be on the table.

Green is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right hamstring injury management.

A maintenance day is potentially on the table for Green as the Suns prepare for their final game before the All-Star break. Grayson Allen (knee) has already been ruled out and Devin Booker (ankle) is listed questionable, so the Suns could lean heavily on Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Jamaree Bouyea out of the backcourt Wednesday if both Booker and Green are sidelined.
