Eason (lower leg) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City.

Eason sat out Thursday's loss to the Hornets -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left lower-leg injury management. However, he'll return to action against the Thunder. Over his last five appearances (all starts), the 24-year-old forward has averaged 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.8 minutes per contest.

Jackson (recently traded) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Magic.

Jackson was the centerpiece of a trade package sent by the Grizzlies to the Jazz on Tuesday, and the veteran big man is slated to make his debut with Utah in Saturday's road contest. He averaged 21.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.7 blocks and 1.5 steals in 31.9 minutes per game across his 10 outings prior to Tuesday's trade. The Jazz appear to be committed to a frontcourt of Jackson and Lauri Markkanen for the foreseeable future, with rookie Ace Bailey and third-year pro Keyonte George (ankle) also serving as key members of the franchise.

Salaun is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks with an illness.

The Hornets are likely to check back in with the second-year forward closer to Saturday's tipoff. Regardless of whether Salaun is available, his status doesn't appear to shake up the Charlotte frontcourt rotation.

Branham (recently traded) is out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

After coming over in a trade from the Mavericks on Thursday, Branham has yet to join the Hornets. His next opportunity to do so comes Monday against the Pistons.

Love (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic.

Love is in danger of missing a third consecutive game while battling through an illness. Kyle Filipowski would be in line for an uptick in playing time if Love is not cleared to return Saturday.

Washington (concussion) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Washington is ready to return after missing two games with a concussion. Over his last six appearances, the forward has averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes per game.

George (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic.

George has a chance to return Saturday from a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. Isaiah Collier has filled in admirably over Utah's last three games and would presumably remain in the starting lineup if George is not cleared to play.

The Pelicans waived Terry on Friday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Terry, who was traded twice in the span of two days, will now hit the open market. Across 204 career regular-season games, Terry holds averages of 3.3 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists.

Agbaji (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Agbaji appears ready to make his Nets debut Saturday. The forward should be available off the bench, but it's perhaps too early in his Brooklyn tenure to tell if he'll take the court in a meaningful way against Washington.

Minott is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

The Celtics traded Minott to the Nets on Thursday, and the forward will be available to make his Brooklyn debut Saturday. He fell out of favor in Boston, and it will be interesting to see if he can carve out a role with his new team.
