Nesmith (neck) is out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Nesmith will mis his fifth straight game while battling a neck injury. He's once again been downgraded to out a full day ahead of Indiana's upcoming matchup, so he doesn't appear close to a return. Nesmith can be considered doubtful for Thursday's tilt in Brooklyn until further notice.

Young (quadriceps/back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Young hasn't played since March 16 and will miss a 12th straight game while dealing with a right quadriceps contusion and lower-back pain. The star point guard should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Wizards provide an update on his status. However, it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't play again this season, as Washington has just three regular-season games remaining after Tuesday.

Champagnie (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Champagnie may miss a second consecutive contest due to a right knee contusion. If he's unable to suit up, Jamir Watkins and Leaky Black could see increased burn.

Simons (wrist) is out for Tuesday's game against Washington.

Simons hasn't played since Feb. 21 with a fractured left wrist, and it's becoming increasingly less likely he'll suit up again this year. Collin Sexton (finger) is probable for Tuesday and should continue to start at shooting guard for the Bulls if he's cleared to play.

Vukcevic (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Chicago.

Vukcevic is in danger of missing a third straight outing due to a right knee contusion. If the big man joins Alex Sarr (toe) on the inactive list, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese would be candidates to see a bump in minutes.

Buzelis (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

An illness is resulting in a second straight absence for Buzelis. Leonard Miller started at power forward in Sunday's loss to the Suns and should do so once again Tuesday in Buzelis' stead.

McDaniels (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

McDaniels will miss a sixth consecutive contest due to left knee patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise. He was deemed week-to-week in late March and should be considered doubtful for future contests until Minnesota offers an update on his progress. Ayo Dosunmu is expected to continue operating in an expanded role for as long as McDaniels is sidelined.

Edwards (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

Edwards will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to right knee injury maintenance, marking his second straight game on the inactive list. Mike Conley, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark are candidates to see an uptick in minutes in Edwards' stead. His next chance to play will come Wednesday in Orlando.

Giddey (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Giddey is sidelined for a second consecutive contest with a hamstring strain, Tre Jones should continue to play significant minutes and serve as a strong streaming option Tuesday.

Bagley (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Bagley returned from a three-game absence due to a left shoulder impingement in Sunday's win over the Lakers, though he's in danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set. With Daniel Gafford (shoulder) doubtful, the Mavericks could be shorthanded at center, which would leave more minutes available for the likes of Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse.
