Caruso is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto due to a left ankle sprain. Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

After missing Sunday's game against Cleveland, Caruso is aiming to keep his absence to a one-game minimum Tuesday. If the swingman doesn't suit up, some extra playing time would become open to Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe on the wing.

Potter (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Potter has been managing a left ankle sprain of late but hasn't missed a game as a result and is in line to suit up Tuesday. The Wisconsin product has come off the bench in 22 of his 25 appearances this season, though he could be in line for a spot start against the 76ers with Pascal Siakam (wrist) listed as doubtful.

Siakam is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to a left wrist sprain.

Siakam returned from a hamstring injury Sunday against Dallas and turned in a 30-point showing, but he evidently picked up a wrist injury at some point along the way. With Siakam unlikely to suit up, look for Micah Potter, who is probable due to a left ankle sprain, to see an uptick in minutes, along with Kobe Brown.

Holmgren is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto with back spasms, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Tuesday is the front end of a back-to-back, so it's not shocking to see Oklahoma City think about giving the star big man a maintenance day. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams could both be thrust into an elevated role if Holmgren isn't available Tuesday.

McConnell (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

McConnell is managing a nagging right hamstring injury that sidelined him Sunday and has kept him out of three of the past four contests. If the veteran guard -- who has operated almost exclusively off the bench this season -- is unable to suit up Tuesday, Quenton Jackson and Ben Sheppard could see increased opportunities.

Nembhard (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

The Pacers are considering keeping Nembhard out for lower-back injury management. With Kam Jones (back) also questionable, Ben Sheppard and Quenton Jackson could both be in line for an expanded role in the backcourt Tuesday.

Hayes is being considered day-to-day after suffering a right ankle injury during Sunday's game against Boston, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

The Lakers have yet to release their injury report for Tuesday's matchup with the Magic, so it remains to be seen what injury tag he'll carry leading up to tipoff. Hayes suffered the injury during the first quarter of Sunday's clash and was unable to return.

Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn.

Gafford has been a regular on the injury report of late due to a right ankle issue, though he's suited up in each of Dallas' past 11 games. The Arkansas product has started the previous 10 contests and would be expected to retain that role if active, with Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell candidates to step into the starting five should Gafford be ruled out.

Martin is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets with a sprained left ankle.

Martin missed Dallas' final game before the All-Star break, but he's been able to play in consecutive outings since then. Over his last six appearances (three starts), Martin has averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.3 minutes per game.

Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

The Hawks last reported that Kuminga would be re-evaluated one week from Wednesday, but it appears he could have a chance to return earlier than initially indicated. Anthony Slater of ESPN.com notes the expectation is that Kuminga will ultimately gain clearance to make his team debut, but he'll need to prove his health leading up to tipoff before officially receiving the green light.
