Jokic (hip/wrist) is probable for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

Jokic played through his hip and wrist issues Tuesday and dropped in a season-high-tying 42 points, so the injuries clearly didn't impact his play. Fantasy managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip.

Horford will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Horford nabbed a start Monday with Jaylen Brown injured, but he'll return to the reserves Wednesday with Brown available. He's averaging 12.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists over his last 10 games -- eight of which were starts.

Gibson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

As expected, Gibson has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will be sidelined again by a right hamstring strain. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Memphis.

Davis (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday, as expected, despite dealing with a lingering knee injury. The star big man has recorded a double-double in each of his last seven outings.

Turner (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Brooklyn, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

Turner will miss Wednesday's game after spraining his right second finger in Monday's win over Brooklyn. His absence should open up a spot on the top unit for Jalen Smith, who started the second half of Monday's game following Turner's departure. Isaiah Jackson should also gain a foothold in the rotation as Smith's primary backup. Turner's next chance to play will come Friday against the Thunder.

Robinson is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings due to left ankle management.

Thursday's matchup is the first half of a back-to-back set, and Robinson, who continues to work his way back to full strength following a lengthy absence, will likely miss at least one of the Knicks' next two games. If Robinson misses time, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims would be candidates for extra minutes behind Isaiah Hartenstein.

Wizards interim head coach Brian Keefe said Wednesday that Bagley (knee) is being viewed as week-to-week, Bijan Todd of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Bagley has already been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Lakers due to a right knee sprain, which he suffered in Tuesday's 117-113 win over the Bucks. Given that there are less than two weeks left in the regular season, Bagley's 2023-24 campaign is almost certainly over, but Washington may re-evaluate him at some point in the middle of next week before making an official call on his status. With Richaun Holmes (toe) joining Bagley in street clothes for at least Wednesday's game, Tristan Vukcevic and Eugene Omoruyi could take on most of the minutes at center.

Holmes (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Holmes will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game Wednesday, with Marvin Bagley also set to join him in street clothes after spraining his knee in Tuesday's win over the Bucks. Given Bagley's injury looks to be a season-ending one, Holmes could have an opportunity to reclaim a starting role at center, but he'll first have to move past a sprained left big toe. Look for Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Eugene Omoruyi to cover most of the minutes at center Wednesday.

Bamba (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat.

Bamba was a late scratch ahead of Tuesday's win over the shorthanded Thunder and may miss another contest. Joel Embiid (knee), Tyrese Maxey (hip) and Tobias Harris (knee) are also questionable.

Embiid is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat due to left knee injury recovery.

Following a 29-game absence, Embiid returned to action Tuesday and posted 24 points (6-14 FG), seven assists, six rebounds and three steals in 29 minutes during a win over the shorthanded Thunder. It's not surprising to see the 76ers proceed with caution, but they'll likely want to ramp Embiid up to a full workload before the playoffs begin. Tyrese Maxey (hip), Tobias Harris (knee) and Mo Bamba (illness) are also questionable for Thursday.
