Curry (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Nets, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Curry, who has been sidelined since the start of February, remains without a clear target date to return. Slater reports that Curry is hopeful to get in a scrimmage in the near future to see how his knee responds, and that should be the final hurdle in his rehab.

Yabusele (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

A left ankle sprain is likely to result in a second consecutive absence for Yabusele. Nick Richards figures to continue to start in the frontcourt alongside Jalen Smith on Wednesday.

Okoro (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

It appears as though Okoro will be sidelined for an eighth straight game Wednesday. If that's the case, Leonard Miller will likely continue to see sizable workloads for the Bulls.

Simons is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers with a fractured left wrist.

It doesn't appear Simons, who has been sidelined since Feb. 21, is quite yet ready to return to the floor. His expected absence should continue to allow Tre Jones to play a prominent role in the Chicago backcourt Wednesday.

Ivey (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Ivey, who was questionable for Chicago's last contest before getting ruled out, won't even draw a questionable tag this time around. His next chance to return comes Friday against the Thunder.

Jackson (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Monday's 128-126 win over the Magic.

During Monday's contest, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle deviated from his recent approach and ran a more streamlined nine-man rotation while handing three of the team's established starters (Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith) 30-plus minutes apiece. As a result, Jackson and Kobe Brown were squeezed out of the rotation, but both should be able to reclaim roles before long. The 16-56 Pacers have little at stake beyond draft position over their final 10 games, which likely means that players like Siakam, Nembhard and Nesmith could be rested frequently and/or have their minutes pulled back. Aside from missing two contests due to a hamstring injury, Jackson had appeared in each of the Pacers' other nine games in March prior to Monday and averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 17.8 minutes.

Brown (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Monday's 128-126 win over the Magic.

During Monday's contest, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle deviated from his recent approach and ran a more streamlined nine-man rotation while handing three of the team's established starters (Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith) 30-plus minutes apiece. As a result, Brown and Quenton Jackson were squeezed out of the rotation, but both should be able to reclaim roles before long. The 16-56 Pacers have little at stake beyond draft position over their final 10 games, which likely means that players like Siakam, Nembhard and Nesmith could be rested frequently and/or have their minutes pulled back. Brown had been a beneficiary of Indiana holding out key players for the past several weeks, as the third-year forward has averaged 8.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.3 assists in 23.7 minutes over his 18 appearances for the Pacers since coming over in a Feb. 5 trade with the Clippers.

Wagner (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Magic's 128-126 loss to the Pacers.

After his season got off to a delayed start while he finished off his recovery from the ACL surgery he underwent in January 2025, Wagner has struggled to return to form since being cleared to make his debut just over two months ago. While Wagner had been an efficient scorer off the second unit over his previous four full seasons in Orlando, he's converted at a lowly 41.9 percent clip from the field and 32.8 percent rate from downtown through 29 appearances. Since Wagner doesn't offer much rim protection to make up for the lack of shooting efficiency, head coach Jamahl Mosley appears to have at least temporarily pulled the plug on the German big man. Goga Bitadze has now moved ahead of Wagner to serve as the backup to starting center Wendell Carter in each of the past two contests.

Cryer scored 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and added four rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes off the bench Monday in the Warriors' 137-131 overtime win over the Mavericks.

After a recent two-game absence due to left hamstring injury management, Cryer has returned to provide Golden State with some stellar perimeter shooting in each of the past three contests. Cryer has drilled at least three triples in each of those games, converting at a 55 percent clip overall from downtown. Stephen Curry (knee) is scheduled to be re-evaluated Tuesday and may be moving closer to a return, but as long as the two-time league MVP remains sidelined, Cryer should have a decent chance at maintaining a regular spot in the Golden State rotation.

Leons (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Warriors' 137-131 overtime win over the Mavericks.

Golden State was down five players due to injury Tuesday, but the returns of Kristaps Porzingis (back), Gary Payton (knee) and Moses Moody (wrist) were enough to bump Leons out of the rotation. The two-way player had previously appeared in 13 straight contests for the banged-up Warriors, averaging 3.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 11.2 minutes per game during that stretch. Moody ended up exiting in the overtime period with what appeared to be a serious-looking knee injury, so if he ends up missing time, Leons could be a candidate to move back into the rotation for the Warriors' next game Wednesday versus the Nets.
