NBA Player News

Wiggins (toe) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Thursday marks a fourth consecutive absence for Wiggins, whose next chance to return from a left toe injury arrives Saturday versus the Magic. Myron Gardner is set to continue to start at power forward in his place and should see minutes around the 20s against Milwaukee.

Herro is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks due to left quadriceps soreness.

Herro could test out the issue during Thursday's pregame warmups before the Heat reach a decision on the star guard's status. If he cannot suit up, Davion Mitchell and Pelle Larsson would both be worthy of streaming attention in most fantasy leagues.

Portis (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat.

Portis remains day-to-day after missing Tuesday's game against the Suns. If the veteran forward is unable to shake this questionable tag, the Bucks could utilize Kyle Kuzma and Pete Nance a bit more.

Williams (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks.

The Nets have several injuries ahead of this contest, so Williams could potentially see a big workload if he can get the green light to suit up. He doesn't have a lot of upside in category fantasy leagues, however.

Traore will be rested Thursday against the Hawks.

Traore has been shouldering big workloads lately, so the Nets are giving him a maintenance day. Ben Saraf and Terance Mann could step into larger roles in the backcourt with this news.

Carrington is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic with right hip flexor soreness.

It's a new issue for Carrington, who's in danger of missing his first game of the season Thursday. Tre Johnson and Jaden Hardy would both be in line for an uptick in playing time in the event that Carrington cannot play.

Sharpe (thumb) is out for Thursday's game against the Hawks.

Sharpe will be sidelined for the second straight game Thursday. With this news, more minutes will be up for grabs for players like Danny Wolf and Ochai Agbaji.

Porter (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Porter has a chance to end a four-game absence caused by right knee swelling. If he returns, fewer minutes would be open for Ryan Rollins, Cam Thomas and Gary Trent in the backcourt.

Porter has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Atlanta due to a right ankle sprain.

Porter may have sustained the injury during his most recent appearance Tuesday, when he played just 22 minutes in a blowout loss to the Pistons. With the ankle sprain keeping Porter on the sideline for at least one game, the Nets could reopen a spot in the rotation for either or both of Terance Mann and Ochai Agbaji, after both didn't play Tuesday in coach's decisions.

McNeeley (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

The rookie will miss his second straight contest Wednesday but remains day-to-day. Sion James is coming off a strong showing and could be a bit more involved Wednesday.
