Brice Sensabaugh SG | UTA
Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Not listed on injury report
Sensabaugh (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with the Raptors.
Sensabaugh will be back in action following a two-game layoff, which could shift Elijah Harkless back to the second unit, while Cody Williams' usage could dip a bit. Through nine games in March, Sensabaugh has put up averages of 21.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 3.1 triples and 1.0 steals per contest.

Isaiah Collier PG | UTA
Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Ruled out for Monday
Collier (hamstring) won't play Monday versus the Raptors.
This will be Collier's third consecutive game on the inactive list, and with Keyonte George (hamstring) also out, it'll be Elijah Harkless, Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng holding down the fort in the backcourt. Collier's next chance to play will come Wednesday versus Washington.

Danny Wolf PF | BKN
Nets' Danny Wolf: Exits early Sunday
Wolf sustained a left ankle injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Kings and will not return, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. He'll finish with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and four rebounds across 12 minutes.
Wolf turned his left ankle and limped off the court before being helped to the locker room. The rookie first-rounder faces a short turnaround if he hopes to play Monday in Portland, so he can be considered highly questionable for that one until Brooklyn provides an update on his status. If he's forced to miss time, Josh Minott, Chaney Johnson and E.J. Liddell would be candidates for increased playing time.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Available to play
