NBA Player News

Pippen (toe) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland.

The Grizzlies are expected to hold Pippen out of action for toe injury management. In his likely absence, Javon Small and Cam Spencer are in line to share the minutes at point guard Wednesday.

Aldama (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Aldama will be sidelined for a 12th straight game. He was initially cleared to play in Tuesday's game against Minnesota, only for the team to change course roughly 30 minutes before tipoff.

Porter is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to right knee swelling.

Wednesday marks Porter's first absence since Feb. 3. The star guard can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's matchup versus the Jazz. After coming off the bench in Monday's loss to Boston, Ryan Rollins figures to jump right back into the starting lineup in Porter's stead.

Salaun has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Boston due to a left knee sprain.

After being recalled from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday, Salaun checked into Wednesday's 117-90 win over Dallas in garbage time but was subbed out of the contest after playing just one minute and 17 seconds. The knee injury was presumably the cause of Salaun's departure, and he'll now be sidelined for the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Carlson (back) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Oklahoma City's third-string center will be sidelined for a fourth straight game. His next chance to play comes Saturday against Golden State.

Mitchell (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against New York.

Mitchell will be sidelined for a 19th straight game and remains without a target date to return. Consider him doubtful at best for Saturday's game against Golden State.

Hartenstein (calf) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Hartenstein missed Tuesday's game against the Bulls due to injury management, but he's ready to roll Wednesday. The veteran big man is averaging 8.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 23.5 minutes per game over his last 10 outings, and he should force Aaron Wiggins from the starting five.

Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Oklahoma City's franchise player was given a maintenance day Tuesday against the Bulls, but he's back in action this time around. With this news, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Jared McCain will likely see less usage for the Thunder.

White (calf) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against Boston.

White is good to go after sitting out Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to left calf injury management. The star guard has made just three appearances since joining the Hornets, and he's likely to face workload limitations for the time being.

Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Williams will end up getting a maintenance day for the second leg of a back-to-back set after playing 21 minutes in Tuesday's 117-90 win over the Mavericks. With the veteran big man sitting out, the Hornets could have a few extra minutes available off the bench for Sion James and Josh Green.
