Obi Toppin PF | IND
Pacers' Obi Toppin: Available to play
Toppin (foot) is available for Tuesday's matchup with Minnesota.
Pascal Siakam (ankle) is out, so Toppin should again be operating in an elevated role in the offense. The 28-year-old power forward put up 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists, three triples and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers.

Tyler Herro PG | MIA
Heat's Tyler Herro: Available against Raptors
Herro (foot) is available for Tuesday's game versus Toronto.
Herro was listed as probable for this contest. However, he will officially suit up after missing Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards due to personal reasons. With Herro back in the lineup, Simone Fontecchio, who started against Washington, will likely move back to the bench.

Anthony Davis C | WAS
Wizards' Anthony Davis: Not expected to return this season
Head coach Brian Keefe said Tuesday that Davis (finger) is not expected to play again this season, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Davis hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand. Hughes relayed that the team tried to ramp him up but ultimately ran out of time. The star big man was recently cleared to take light contact and will continue rehabbing in the offseason ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. He'll finish this season with averages of 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 steals per game across 20 regular-season appearances with the Mavericks before being traded to the Wizards on Feb. 4.

Trae Young PG | WAS
Wizards' Trae Young: Season likely finished
Young (quadriceps, back) isn't expected to play again in 2025-26, per Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network.
Young last appeared for the Wizards during the March 16 loss to the Warriors, and it sounds like Washington is finally ready to pull the plug on his campaign. It was an injury-ruined season for the star guard, who averaged 17.9 points, 8.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes per game over 15 outings with Atlanta and Washington. Bub Carrington should continue to serve as the Wizards' top point guard the rest of the way.

Jarace Walker PF | IND
Pacers' Jarace Walker: Returning versus Minnesota
Walker (back) will play in Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Walker sustained a back contusion during the 114-113 loss to the Clippers on March 27. As a result, he missed Indiana's last four contests. Walker will presumably return to the starting lineup, and with the Pacers down their top offensive producers, he might be busy on the scoring end.

Ben Sheppard SG | IND
Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Won't play Tuesday
Sheppard (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
This will be the second straight game on the sidelines for Sheppard, which should lead to more minutes for Ethan Thompson, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson. Sheppard's next chance to play will come Thursday in Brooklyn.

Jamal Cain SF | ORL
Magic's Jamal Cain: Iffy for Wednesday
Cain is questionable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota with a left calf contusion.
Cain left Monday's win over the Pistons in the second quarter with the injury and was unable to return. If his absence extends into Wednesday, Tristan da Silva could pick up a few extra minutes.
-
Wendell Carter Jr. C | ORL
Magic's Wendell Carter: Questionable for Wednesday
Carter is questionable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota with a nasal fracture.
Carter didn't return to Monday's win over the Pistons due to the injury. His absence would free up a spot in the starting lineup, which would likely be filled by Goga Bitadze and would also put him in the streaming mix.
-
Jonathan Isaac PF | ORL
Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Out again for Wednesday
Isaac (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Isaac doesn't have a timetable to return to the floor for Orlando and can be considered week-to-week.

Jett Howard SG | ORL
Magic's Jett Howard: Another absence coming
Howard (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
Howard will be sidelined for a third straight contest and remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play comes Friday against the Bulls.
