Coward is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets due to right knee injury management.

Coward has appeared in two of the team's last three games, but he appears set to miss Monday's contest as he continues to nurse a knee injury. If he is officially ruled out, more minutes will be available for Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Cam Spencer.

Jerome (calf) is doubtful to play Monday versus the Nets.

Monday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, and it looks like Jerome will receive a maintenance day. Scotty Pippen (toe) is also expected to sit out Monday's game, so Walter Clayton, Javon Small and Cam Spencer should see a bump in minutes.

Hendricks is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets due to right thumb soreness.

Hendricks may have picked up the injury during the Grizzlies' 123-120 loss to the Clippers on Saturday, when he finished with 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers over 26 minutes. There are several Memphis players listed on the injury report, so Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Rayan Rupert and GG Jackson are all in line for more minutes in Monday's road tilt.

Edgecombe (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Edgecombe could miss a third straight game due to a back injury. If he is unable to play, Trendon Watford, Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker could see expanded roles, especially with Tyrese Maxey (finger) already ruled out.

Maxey suffered a right finger sprain in Saturday's loss to Atlanta and will miss at least two games, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The star point guard exited Saturday's contest with just 16 seconds remaining after colliding with Adem Bona, and the former won't play in Philadelphia's upcoming back-to-back set Monday and Tuesday against the Cavaliers and Grizzlies, respectively. With Maxey sidelined, Cameron Payne and Quentin Grimes are candidates for increased playing time, while Tyrese Martin could enter the rotation. Maxey's next opportunity to play will come Thursday in Detroit.

Bagley (neck) is available for Sunday's game in Toronto, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Bagley is set to return from a five-game absence, which could bump Dwight Powell from the rotation. Through seven games with the Mavericks, Bagley has put in averages of 13.0 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per contest.

Ingram (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Ingram drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game while battling through a stomach bug, but the veteran forward has progressed enough in his recovery to play. He has averaged 22.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.6 threes over 34.3 minutes per game in seven outings since the All-Star break.

Allen is probable to play Sunday versus the Hornets due to right knee injury management.

Allen played in both games of the Suns' most recent back-to-back set, which concluded Friday, and it appears he'll be good to go for Sunday's game. Check back for official confirmation on Allen's status closer to tipoff.

Hayes will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Deandre Ayton (knee) is back and starting, so Hayes will return to a reserve role with the Lakers. In 45 games off the bench this season, Hayes has averaged 6.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

The Jazz signed Bamba to a second 10-day contract Sunday.

Bamba will get another look with the Jazz after his first 10-day contract expired Sunday. He appeared in two games over the course of his first deal, averaging 5.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks over 19.0 minutes per game. Bamba gives the Jazz additional depth at center behind Kyle Filipowski, Kevin Love and Oscar Tshiebwe.
