Brunson is questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis due to right ankle soreness.

Wednesday marks the second leg of a back-to-back set for the Knicks, who are contemplating a maintenance day for Brunson while he manages a minor ankle issue. The Knicks have already ruled out Miles McBride (pelvis) for Wednesday, so if Brunson joins him on the sideline, more minutes would be available for the likes of Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet.

Battle (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Battle will be sidelined for a third straight contest, with his next chance to play coming Friday against Memphis. Even when available, Battle's playing time is inconsistent.

Wiggins (toe) is probable for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Wiggins was previously listed as questionable, so he's trending in the right direction. With Norman Powell (illness) still on the shelf, Wiggins could see a bump in usage against Boston.

Quickley (foot) is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Quickley will be sidelined for a sixth straight contest, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. His next chance to play comes Friday against the Grizzlies. In Quickley's absence, Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter should continue to see increased run.

Ingram won't play Wednesday against the Kings due to right heel inflammation management, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Ingram will receive a maintenance day for the second leg of the Raptors' back-to-back set after logging 22 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT) and one rebound over 31 minutes during the Raptors' 127-116 loss to the Pistons on Tuesday. He'll likely return to the lineup Friday in Memphis.

Barnes (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Barnes has a shoulder contusion and is a candidate for a maintenance day for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Raptors are going to be very thin for this contest, so Barnes would likely see a hefty usage rate if he can get the green light.

Isaac (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Isaac remains without a timetable to return to the floor. He can be considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Black (Abdomen) is out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Black will be sidelined for a 14th straight game. He was spotted going through some individual work at Tuesday's shootaround, but he remains without a timetable to return.

Wagner (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

This is a huge step in the right direction for Wagner as he inches closer to a return. The forward was recently cleared for 5-on-5, and it sounds like he may warm up before a decision is made on his status. Tristan da Silva is likely to see a reduced role if Wagner gets the green light.

Johnson (foot) will play Wednesday against the 76ers.

Johnson will shed his questionable tag for this contest. He's been struggling lately, shooting 44.1 percent from the field over his last three games with 11.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
