NBA Player News

Curry (back) will play Monday against the Jazz.

Curry was upgraded to probable leading up to Monday's clash, and the team has since announced that he'll be available. It's unclear whether he'll have a role in the rotation, but even if he does see action, he's likely to have his minutes monitored closely given his lengthy absence.

The Hornets transferred Evbuomwan from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

Evboumwan will join the parent club ahead of its game in Portland on Tuesday. However, the two-way player isn't guaranteed to see the court.

The Hornets recalled McNeeley from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

McNeeley will join the Hornets ahead of their next three games on the road, starting with Tuesday's matchup versus Portland. The rookie first-rounder isn't guaranteed to see the floor for the parent club and has totaled just six minutes in one appearance since Jan. 10.

Jovic (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

The Heat continue to keep Jovic from playing due to lower-back injury management. The fourth-year forward holds no definitive timetable for a return to the floor and can be considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Bucks until Miami offers an update.

Head coach JJ Redick said James (elbow/foot) didn't practice Monday but is still considered day-to-day, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

James is dealing with a left elbow contusion in addition to lingering arthritis in his left foot, putting him at risk of missing a third straight game when the Lakers face Minnesota on Tuesday. The team will release its official injury report later Monday, and for now, the superstar forward should be considered questionable for Tuesday's contest.

LeVert is out for Tuesday's game against the Nets due to a left wrist sprain.

Tuesday is set to be a second consecutive absence for LeVert, who can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Thursday's tilt versus the 76ers. His absence should allow Duncan Robinson to handle a bit more playing time in the starting lineup Tuesday.

Powell (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Washington.

Powell will miss a sixth consecutive contest due to a right groin strain and is without a definitive timetable for a return. He should be considered doubtful ahead of Thursday's game against the Bucks. With the veteran swingman sidelined, Pelle Larsson, Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Fontecchio is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards with a left groin strain.

The sharpshooter is expected to be available off the bench after missing Miami's last three contests, but he's not guaranteed to play a meaningful role. Before getting injured, Fontecchio had logged at least 20 minutes in just one of his prior five appearances.

Wiggins (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Wiggins will miss a third consecutive contest due to a left big toe injury, which the Heat are now terming as sesamoiditis. Myron Gardner has made a pair of 16-minute starts in the last two games that Wiggins has missed and could be included on the top unit once again Tuesday.

Ware is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to a right shoulder strain.

It's a new injury for Ware, who hasn't missed a game since Jan. 25. If the second-year big man cannot suit up Tuesday, more playing time would be available for Myron Gardner and Jaime Jaquez.
