Jerome is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to a left ankle sprain.

Jerome will continue his recent trend of sitting out every other game or so as the team aims to keep him healthy, though this time he's being listed with a left ankle injury. Walter Clayton is a candidate to start at point guard in Jerome's place Wednesday.

Knueppel (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

As expected, Knueppel will shake off his probable tag due to lower-back soreness and suit up against the injury-plagued Kings. The rookie first-rounder is coming off a lackluster shooting performance in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies and will look to bounce back Tuesday. Over 10 March appearances, he has averaged 18.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.2 triples in 29.9 minutes per contest.

Dosunmu is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to right calf soreness.

Dosunmu is already filling in for the injured Anthony Edwards (knee), so his absence would vacate a spot in the starting lineup for the Timberwolves. Bones Hyland and Kyle Anderson stand out as the most likely candidates for an expanded role if Dosunmu is unable to suit up Wednesday.

Connaughton (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Connaughton was added to the injury report earlier in the day due to illness, and he's since been downgraded to out. He isn't typically part of Charlotte's rotation, so his absence shouldn't have an impact on Tuesday's clash.

Nance is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to an illness.

Nance has been added to the injury report hours before tipoff, which generally isn't a promising sign. He's appeared in only two games in March and isn't typically part of the rotation, so his availability should have little impact either way.

Green (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Green is in danger of missing his first game of the season due to a left ankle sprain. If the veteran forward is ruled out, there would be more minutes available for guys like Kevin Huerter, Caris LeVert and Ronald Holland, especially if Marcus Sasser (hip) is downgraded from doubtful to out.

Sasser (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Sasser appears headed for his third straight absence as a result of a right hip strain. Assuming he's downgraded to out before tipoff, expect Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter to continue to see a slight uptick in playing time.

Martin (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Denver.

Martin will miss a fifth consecutive contest with what the team is now calling a right plantar fascia strain. His next opportunity to play will come Friday in Portland. With Martin out, Klay Thompson, Khris Middleton and P.J. Washington are candidates for increased minutes.

Toppin is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to right foot injury management.

Coming off midseason foot surgery, Toppin is expected to be available off the bench for the Pacers on Wednesday. The sixth-year forward hasn't yet touched the 20-minute mark in any of his last 11 appearances since returning to action, limiting his overall fantasy upside.

Thiero is questionable for Wednesday's game against Indiana due to left knee soreness.

It's unclear as to when this injury popped up for Thiero, who logged two minutes Monday night against Detroit. He's appeared in three games for the Lakers in March, so even if he is cleared to play, he's unlikely to be much of a factor.
