Thompson is out for Tuesday's game against the Nets with a right ankle sprain.

Thompson is missing a third consecutive contest Tuesday. His next chance to play comes Thursday versus the 76ers. Marcus Sasser will likely continue to start for the Pistons until Thompson is cleared to retake the court.

The Nets announced Monday that Demin (foot) will miss the rest of the season, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Brooklyn has been managing Demin's workload since the preseason, as the guard has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot all year, and the team is proceeding with an abundance of caution to get the issue fully resolved. Demin will end his rookie campaign with averages of 10.3 points, 3.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes per contest through 52 regular-season games. With the rookie first-rounder's season finished, the Nets should turn to Nolan Traore and Ben Saraf to handle the bulk of the ball-handling duties to close out the season.

Robinson is out for Monday's game against the Clippers due to left ankle injury management.

The Knicks are holding Robinson out of action for the second leg of their back-to-back set. New York should lean heavily on Karl-Anthony Towns at center in Robinson's absence, while Ariel Hukporti should take over as the No. 2 big man Monday.

Toronto recalled Mogbo from the G League's Raptors 905 on Monday.

With Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) on the shelf, it looks like the Raptors are summoning Mogbo from the G League to join them on their road trip as emergency frontcourt depth. Mogbo has averaged 1.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 6.0 minutes per contest through 25 regular-season games for Toronto on the campaign.

Caruso (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Caruso is missing a second straight contest with a bruised left hip. His next chance to play comes Thursday, when the Thunder square off with the Celtics. Caruso's absence Monday opens up a few extra minutes on the wing for the likes of Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace.

The Jazz waived Williams (knee) on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Williams was diagnosed with a torn ACL on Feb. 24 and is likely to miss the beginning of the 2026-27 season. With this transaction, the Jazz will be able to add someone to the vacated roster spot. Once healthy, Williams will likely draw considerable interest on the open market.

Fleming ended Sunday's 111-99 win over the Hornets with 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and two rebounds across 23 minutes.

With Dillon Brooks (hand) sidelined, Fleming has resurfaced in the rotation but is struggling to offer fantasy appeal outside of triples. Fleming has averaged 7.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.4 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 18.1 minutes per contest in his last seven games, shooting 52.0 percent from downtown.

Brown accumulated eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 20 minutes during Sunday's 131-111 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Brown has scored in single figures in six straight games, and his streaming viability is mostly tied to occasions when the Pacers choose to rest some of their key contributors. The third-year forward has averaged 7.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22.7 minutes per tilt in his last six games.

Johnson recorded 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Sunday's 138-118 loss to the Pelicans.

The rookie first-rounder is acclimating well to life alongside Trae Young in the backcourt so far, putting up at least 15 points in consecutive games. That said, the Wizards don't yet seem to be fully committed to handing Johnson big minutes, as he has averaged 11.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 21.6 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.

Duren contributed 24 points (10-12 FG, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 loss to the Heat.

Duren's career-best season continued Sunday despite the Pistons dropping this contest. Across 53 regular-season appearances, Duren is averaging 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.
