NBA Player News

Pippen (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's against the 76ers.

Pippen had previously been sitting out one half of back-to-back sets due to left great toe injury management, but after missing Monday's 126-115 loss to the Nets, he'll now be sidelined for a second straight game due to soreness in the great toe on his other foot. With Ty Jerome (calf) and Cedric Coward (knee) returning to action following maintenance days Monday, Pippen's absence won't necessarily free up more minutes for other players.

Hendricks (thumb) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Hendricks sat out Monday's loss to the Nets with a thumb injury, but he's good to go Tuesday. Over 12 appearances since joining Memphis, Hendricks has averaged 10.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 23.8 minutes per game.

Aldama (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Aldama has been sidelined since Feb. 4 and has been unable to shake this knee injury. His next chance to play comes Thursday against Dallas, as Memphis continues to treat him as day-to-day.

Plumlee (reconditioning) is available for Tuesday's game against Boston, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Plumlee is available to make his Spurs debut, but he's not expected to be included in the rotation. The veteran big man last saw game action as a member of the Hornets on Dec. 22 before undergoing surgery just over a week later to address a right groin injury.

Fontecchio (groin) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Following a three-game absence, Fontecchio will be back in action Tuesday. With Kel'el Ware (shoulder) sitting out, Fontecchio may absorb a few extra minutes.

Ware (shoulder) is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Ware was unable to shake his questionable tag and will miss his first game since Jan. 25. Presumably, he'll be listed as day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game against the Bucks. Myron Gardner and Jaime Jaquez are candidates for more minutes with this news.

Herro is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards with left quadriceps soreness.

Herro was a late addition to the injury report, which is an ominous sign in fantasy hoops. If Herro is unable to give it a go, Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez could be more involved for the Heat.

Young (knee) won't play Tuesday against the Heat.

After playing an average of 18.5 minutes over his first two appearances for Washington, Young will get a maintenance day related to his right knee. Presumably, he'll be back in action Thursday against Orlando. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson will likely take on more responsibility out of the backcourt with Young sitting out Tuesday.

Waters (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

Waters is mostly an emergency depth option for the Spurs. While he's appeared in six straight games, which coincides with Harrison Barnes' (ankle) absence, Waters' availability won't make a big impact in fantasy hoops.

Mann (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Nets' 126-115 win over the Grizzlies.

After starting in each of the Nets' previous four games, Mann was moved to the bench Monday while Brooklyn installed Drake Powell on the top unit in his return from the G League. Even though the Nets were without Michael Porter (rest) for the front end of the back-to-back set, Mann ended up being left out of the rotation entirely, with Jalen Wilson instead playing 23 minutes off the bench after having been limited to nothing more than garbage-time run over the previous eight contests. Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez may have just been giving Mann some extra rest during the back-to-back set, so it's possible that the 29-year-old wing re-enters the rotation Tuesday versus the Pistons.
