Strus (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Strus is still recovering from left foot surgery he underwent in August, though he appears to be nearing a return to action after practicing with the Cavaliers' G League affiliate Monday. The 29-year-old wing's next opportunity to suit up will come Friday in Dallas.

Proctor is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic with a right quadriceps strain.

Proctor will be sidelined for a third consecutive contest with the strain. His next chance to return comes Friday, when the Cavaliers face the Mavericks in Dallas.

Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Allen is set to miss a third consecutive game while working through a right knee injury, and his next opportunity to play is Friday against the Mavericks. Evan Mobley should continue to start at center in Allen's absence, while Thomas Bryant and Jaylon Tyson should both see more minutes in the rotation.

Beringer has been recalled from the G League's Iowa Wolves and is available for the Timberwolves' game against the Lakers on Tuesday.

Minnesota is halting Beringer's G League assignment, summoning the rookie first-rounder from Iowa. Beringer has averaged 3.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in 6.8 minutes per contest through 30 NBA games this season, and he's unlikely to see meaningful playing time Tuesday on a healthy Timberwolves squad.

Post is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls due to bilateral foot soreness.

Post could sit out the second half of Golden State's back-to-back set Tuesday. Regardless of Post's status, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are in line to share the center minutes Tuesday.

Melton is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls due to left adductor soreness.

After Monday's loss to Utah, head coach Steve Kerr said Melton was limited to 20 minutes so that he could play Tuesday. However, while Melton had previously sat out one half of back-to-back sets due to left knee injury maintenance, he's now on the Warriors' injury report with a new health concern. The questionable tag implies that Melton could still play Tuesday, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Warriors ultimately erred on the side of caution and held him out.

Curry (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

The Warriors are holding Curry out due to left sciatic nerve irritation injury management. The expectation is that the veteran guard will return Friday, when the Warriors take on the Timberwolves.

Moody (wrist) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Moody's next chance to finish a four-game absence with a sprained right wrist comes Friday, when the Warriors face the Timberwolves. The swingman's absence should allow Pat Spencer and Will Richard to see more playing time Tuesday.

Green (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Green could miss the second leg of this back-to-back set for injury maintenance related to a lower-back issue. During Monday's loss to Utah, Green finished with six points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and 11 assists in 32 minutes.

Payton (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Payton is dealing with a minor left ankle issue that he appears likely to play through. Over his last five games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals.
