Gafford (leg) returned to Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves with 3:31 remaining in the second quarter.

Gafford left Tuesday's contest with an apparent leg injury but ultimately missed just over eight minutes of action. The 26-year-old big man should be available to finish out the rest of the game.

Gafford (leg) limped off the court in the beginning of the second quarter during Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Naz Reid and Gafford collided and knocked knees, sending the big man limping to the locker room. The 26-year-old's status is something to monitor the rest of the way. Dereck Lively and Naji Marshall are both candidates for an increased role if Gafford is unable to return.

Williams (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Clippers.

Williams has yet to suit up this season while dealing with a left hamstring strain. His next chance to play is Friday's matchup with the Thunder.

Eubanks (illness) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Eubanks has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite being a late addition to the injury report with an illness. With Taylor Hendricks (ankle) out for the season, it is possible Eubanks will receive increased playing time as a bench big in Utah's frontcourt.

Robinson (knee) will miss another game after being ruled out Tuesday night against the Jazz, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Robinson has yet to make his season debut with Sacramento, and it is unclear when he will do so. The next opportunity for him to play will be Friday versus Atlanta.

Edey is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nets due to right calf soreness.

Edey is dealing with a sore calf and is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. The big man has started in all four of his regular-season appearances, and he has averaged 7.8 points and 5.0 rebounds across 16.0 minutes per game. However, the 22-year-old has played only 27 total minutes over the last two games, and the Grizzlies have opted for a deep frontcourt rotation with Santi Aldama, Jay Huff, Jake LaRavia and Brandon Clarke all receiving double-digit playing time off the bench.

Turner is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics due to a left ankle sprain.

Turner is in danger of missing his first outing of the season Wednesday while dealing with an ankle injury. If Turner is ruled out against Cleveland, Isaiah Jackson will likely step in as the team's starting center.

Koloko (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Koloko has been medically returned to clear but will sit out Wednesday as he returns to competition conditioning. When Koloko is ready to suit up, he is expected to compete for depth minutes in Los Angeles' frontcourt.

Zeller (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Zeller remains away from the team for personal reasons. He doesn't have a return timetable, and even when he's available, he'll be operating as the fourth center behind Clint Capela, Onyeka Okongwu and Larry Nance.

Okongwu (toe) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Okongwu didn't play Monday against the Wizards, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, but he'll return to action Wednesday. After exploding for 28 points, eight rebounds and three blocks in the season opener, Okongwu totaled 21 points, 11 rebounds and two steals over his next two appearances before resting Monday.
