Adams will test out his right calf during pregame warmups ahead of Monday's contest against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Adams has yet to make his Rockets regular-season debut due to knee and calf injuries, but the 31-year-old big man will test things out during pregame warmups. If he's good to go for Monday's contest, he'll provide depth in the Rockets' frontcourt behind starters Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun.

Bitadze (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers.

Bitadze was added to Monday morning's injury report with a foot injury that he may have picked up during Friday's win over the Nets. Bitadze has played 16 minutes across the Magic's first three games of the regular season, and those minutes will likely be absorbed by Moritz Wagner and Caleb Houstan for Monday's contest. Bitadze's next chance at suiting up will be against the Bulls on Wednesday.

Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings.

Coach Chauncey Billups said Sunday that Williams is progressing toward a return, but the big man will remain out for at least one more game. Williams' next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Clippers. However, given his injury history, even when he's cleared to suit up, Williams will likely face heavy minute restrictions.

The Grizzlies will convert Huff's two-way contract into a four-year standard NBA deal Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Huff has been excellent off Memphis' bench to begin the campaign, averaging 13.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 19.0 minutes across three appearances. The Virginia product went undrafted in 2021 and has spent most of his career bouncing around the G League, making only 31 NBA appearances over the previous three seasons. He won the 2023 G League Defensive Player of the Year award and is looking to maintain a sizable role in a backcourt led by Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey.

Kleber (hamstring) will not play Monday against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

This isn't a surprise after Kleber was absent from the morning shootaround. It remains to be seen if Kleber will be available Tuesday against the Timberwolves. Naji Marshall is a candidate to see more minutes with Kleber sidelined against Utah.

Correcting a previous report, Zeller (personal) will be unavailable for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Zeller will be sidelined for his fourth straight game to open the season, and he remains without a timetable for a return.

Zeller (personal) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Zeller could potentially make his season debut Monday with Onyeka Okongwu resting on the second leg of this back-to-back set. To be clear, Zeller is not guaranteed to be in the rotation most nights.

Okongwu (rest) will not play Monday against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Hawks will give Okongwu the night off for injury management related to his left toe. Fantasy managers should expect him back for Wednesday's rematch against the Wizards. Clint Capela could see a higher floor Monday, while Larry Nance could see a bump in playing time.

Eubanks (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Eubanks has appeared in only one of Utah's two games to open the season, playing a total of six minutes. His status is unlikely to have a big impact on the rotation.

Kleber (hamstring) was not present at Monday's morning shootaround, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Kleber left Saturday's loss to the Suns due to a right hamstring injury, and based on this latest update, he could be set to miss his first game of the campaign. If Kleber is held out, Naji Marshall could potentially soak up a handful of minutes.
