  • Jalen Johnson SF | ATL

    Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Won't go Monday

    Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

    Johnson will miss his second consecutive game after being diagnosed with left shoulder inflammation. Mouhamed Gueye drew the start in Johnson's place Saturday and could be in line for another look Monday, though Jonathan Kuminga and Zaccharie Risacher are also candidates to see more playing time until Johnson is cleared to return.

  • Tyrese Proctor PG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Could play Tuesday

    Proctor (quadriceps) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando.

    Proctor hasn't seen NBA action since Feb. 27 while dealing with a right quadriceps strain, though a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's contest gives him a chance to return. In 42 appearances this season, the rookie guard is averaging just 10.4 minutes per game, so even if he's available against Orlando, there's no guarantee he'll be part of Cleveland's rotation or see meaningful minutes.

  • Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Won't play Tuesday

    Tyson (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.

    Tyson will miss a second consecutive contest with what the team is now calling a left great toe bone bruise. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against Miami. With the second-year forward out, Keon Ellis and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are candidates for increased minutes.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Allen (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.

    Allen's streak of absences will extend to nine games as he continues to battle right knee tendinitis. He stayed in Cleveland during the Cavs' last road trip to rehab, and he's evidently not all that close to returning yet considering he's already been ruled out for Tuesday.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Still sidelined with groin strain

    Porter is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic with a left groin strain.

    The Cavaliers announced last Monday that Porter could be sidelined for as many as three weeks with the strain. Given the timetable, the guard can reasonably be considered week-to-week.

  • Tidjane Salaun PF | CHA

    Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Salaun (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

    Salaun will miss a 10th consecutive contest due to a left calf strain. His next chance to play will come Thursday against the Knicks, though the forward doesn't have a clear timetable for a return.

  • Knicks' Landry Shamet: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Shamet (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

    Shamet will miss a second consecutive contest due to a right knee contusion he sustained in Friday's win over the Nets. With the 29-year-old wing sidelined, Jordan Clarkson and Mohamed Diawara are candidates to see increased playing time. Shamet's next chance to play will come Thursday in Charlotte.

  • Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Sitting vs. Knicks

    McGowens (toe) is out for Tuesday's game against New York.

    McGowens hasn't been able to suit up since March 8 due to a fractured toe. His next chance to suit up will arrive Thursday in Detroit.

  • Killian Hayes PG | SAC

    Kings' Killian Hayes: Iffy for Tuesday

    Hayes is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to left foot soreness.

    Hayes left Sunday's win over the Nets early with what was initially described as a left toe injury, though it has since been labeled as foot soreness. With Russell Westbrook (foot) already ruled out for Tuesday, the Kings may need to lean on Devin Carter at point guard.

  • Kings' Russell Westbrook: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Westbrook (foot) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

    Westbrook is set for a second straight absence due to a right foot issue. Killian Hayes (foot) is questionable for the Kings, so there could be a significant opening for Devin Carter and Malik Monk in the backcourt if Hayes is ultimately downgraded to out. Westbrook's next opportunity to take the court will arrive Thursday in Orlando.
