Magic's Jevon Carter: Reverting to bench role
Carter won't start Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Cleared to play
Proctor (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Proctor will be available off the bench for the first time since Feb. 27, though it remains to be seen if he'll be called upon given his current place in the rotation. He's averaging 4.8 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 10.4 minutes over 42 games so far this season.

Larry Nance Jr. PF | CLE
Cavaliers' Larry Nance: Ruled out Tuesday
Nance (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Nance was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness and won't play Tuesday. However, his absence shouldn't affect the rotation. The veteran big man's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Miami.

Quinten Post C | GS
Warriors' Quinten Post: Won't play Wednesday
Post (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Post will miss a second consecutive contest due to right foot injury management. The 26-year-old big man's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Wizards. With Al Horford (calf) also remaining out, Gui Santos and Malevy Leons are candidates to see a bump in minutes.

Warriors' Al Horford: Remaining out vs. Nets
Horford (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.
Horford will remain sidelined Wednesday with a right calf strain. Quinten Post (foot) is also out against the Nets, leaving plenty of opportunities for Kristaps Porzingis and Gui Santos in the frontcourt.

Cody Williams SF | UTA
Jazz's Cody Williams: Iffy for Wednesday
Williams (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Williams could miss a second straight game due to right shoulder soreness. If the second-year swingman joins Brice Sensabaugh (rest) on the sidelines, Bez Mbeng, John Konchar and Kennedy Chandler would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Tristan Vukcevic PF | WAS
Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Iffy for Wednesday
Vukcevic (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Vukcevic picked up the back injury during Sunday's matchup with the Knicks, and he could miss additional game action as a result. The team figures to re-evaluate the big man at some point Wednesday to get a better idea of his availability.
