  • Anthony Gill PF | WAS

    Wizards' Anthony Gill: Starting Tuesday

    Gill will start Tuesday's game against Detroit.

    With Alex Sarr (toe) and Julian Reese (two-way) unavailable, Gill will get the starting nod Tuesday. During his lone start this season in a loss to Charlotte on Feb. 22, the 33-year-old posted eight points, five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

  • Wizards' Bub Carrington: Enters starting lineup

    Carrington is starting Tuesday against the Pistons.

    Carrington is filling in at point guard for the injured Trae Young (quadriceps) on Tuesday. As a member of the first unit this season, Carrington has averaged 11.6 points, 5.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 30.5 minutes per contest over 33 games.

  • Julian Reese PF | WAS

    Wizards' Julian Reese: Not available Tuesday

    Reese (two-way) is listed as inactive for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

    Reese filled in as the Wizards' starting center in place of Alex Sarr (toe) in Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors, finishing with 12 points, six rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes. Even though Sarr will remain out Tuesday, the Wizards will hold Reese out in an effort to manage his availability for the remainder of the season. After Tuesday's contest, the two-way player will be eligible to play in eight of Washington's remaining 14 games. With Sarr and Reese in street clothes for the matchup with Detroit, expect Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill to cover the minutes at center.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Set to miss at least one week

    Antetokounmpo was diagnosed Tuesday with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise and will be re-evaluated in one week, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    After previously missing time this season due to a left groin strain and a pair of right calf strains, Antetokounmpo is now in line for another multi-game absence due to a new injury. Milwaukee had previously listed Antetokounmpo as out for Tuesday's game against Cleveland due to a left ankle sprain, but it's the left knee injury that he suffered on an awkward fall late in Sunday's win over Indiana that will end up costing him time. With the superstar forward sidelined, the Bucks will continue to lean heavily on Kevin Porter, Ryan Rollins, Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis to take on most of the usage on offense, while supporting players such as Ousmane Dieng, Jericho Sims and Pete Nance could have higher minutes floors. Given that the Bucks face a difficult path to securing a spot in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament, the team may not have much motivation to rush Antetokounmpo back to the court.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Unavailable Tuesday

    Turner (calf) won't play Tuesday against Cleveland, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Turner was added to Milwaukee's injury report Monday with a right calf strain, and the team has since downgraded him to out. This will open up opportunities at center for Jericho Sims and Pete Nance.

  • Jahmai Mashack SG | MEM

    Grizzlies' Jahmai Mashack: Iffy for Wednesday

    Mashack (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

    Mashack is dealing with an ankle sprain, which he could test out during Wednesday's pregame warmups before the Grizzlies reach a decision on his status. The likes of Javon Small, Walter Clayton and Cam Spencer could all have an opportunity to be more involved in the backcourt if Mashack cannot play.

  • Clippers' Bennedict Mathurin: Out for three-game trip

    The Clippers announced Tuesday that Mathurin (toe) will be sidelined for the team's entire three-game road trip, which concludes Saturday in Dallas, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    L.A. had already listed Mathurin out for Wednesday's game in New Orleans, but he'll also end up missing the rematch with the Pelicans on Thursday in addition to the contest in Dallas. Mathurin is tending to a right toe injury and is set to undergo further treatment back in Los Angeles while the Clippers are on the road. If Mathurin responds well to treatment, he could return to the court as early as Monday against Milwaukee.

  • Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Ruled out for Wednesday

    Clarke (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

    Clarke hasn't played since Dec. 20 due to a right calf strain, though he's expected to be re-evaluated soon. The 29-year-old big man should be considered doubtful for future contests until Memphis offers an update on his progress.

  • Ace Bailey SG | UTA

    Jazz's Ace Bailey: Questionable to play Wednesday

    Bailey (concussion) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Minnesota.

    Bailey wasn't available for Sunday's loss to Sacramento. Andersson Garcia entered the starting lineup in that one, amassing three points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 43 minutes. If Bailey doesn't suit up again Wednesday, Garcia would presumably be in line for another start.

  • John Konchar SG | UTA

    Jazz's John Konchar: Questionable to face Minnesota

    Konchar (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Konchar is in danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to left calf injury management, which would mark his fourth straight game on the inactive list. If the 29-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Andersson Garcia and Brice Sensabaugh would be candidates to see an uptick in playing time.
