Landale (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Landale has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with left knee soreness. With Alperen Sengun (back) set to return to action against Indiana, Landale will return to his backup center role.

Holmes (knee) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Following Monday's loss to the Heat, Holmes is in danger of missing Wednesday's game against Utah due to a left knee contusion. Tristan Vukcevic could see more minutes on the floor if Holmes is ruled out against the Jazz.

Nurkic is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves due to lower back tightness.

Nurkic is expected to make his second straight appearance Wednesday despite dealing with a lower back injury. If Nurkic is officially upgraded to available, he will likely operate as Charlotte's backup center to Mark Williams.

Gibson (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Gibson was unable to play in Monday's loss to the Warriors due to an illness, but the veteran center appears to be on track to be available Wednesday. He's seen sparse playing time off the bench over the past couple of weeks as the fourth-string center behind Mark Williams, Jusuf Nurkic and Moussa Diabate.

Collins (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Collins is set to be out of action for the sixth time in seven games due to lower back injury management, and his next chance to see the floor is Friday against the Raptors. The Jazz will be shorthanded Wednesday due to the absences of Collins, Walker Kessler (rest), Lauri Markkanen (back), Jordan Clarkson (foot) and Collin Sexton (ankle). Expect the likes of KJ Martin, Brice Sensabaugh, Kyle Filipowski, Cody Williams, Johnny Juzang and others to see a heavy workload against Washington.

Kessler (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

After coming one rebound shy of a double-double in Monday's loss to the Pistons, Kessler will not be available for Wednesday's game in Washington. The Jazz will likely turn to Kyle Filipowski to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Williams (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics.

Williams' absence streak will extend to seven games Wednesday due to a left knee sprain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Thunder.

Porzingis (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against Portland, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Porzingis was able to participate in Tuesday's practice, though he is still expected to miss his third consecutive contest due to the non-COVID illness. If the big man remains sidelined, Luke Kornet and Al Horford are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Jokic (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Jokic has played in all but six games for Denver this season while staying healthy and available for his team for the majority of the 2024-25 campaign. However, if he's ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, the Nuggets will likely have to lean on DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji (ankle) to pick up the slack, especially if Aaron Gordon (ankle) is also unable to play.

The Mavericks could shut down Davis (adductor) for the rest of the 2024-25 season, Shams Charania of ESPN reported Tuesday during his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show."

Charania's report isn't an official update, but the Mavericks have thus far been vague about where Davis stands in his recovery from the left adductor strain he sustained in his team debut Feb. 8, with the team merely noting shortly after the All-Star break that he was "making good progress." The Mavericks were dealt another brutal blow Tuesday, when star point guard Kyrie Irving (knee) was diagnosed with a torn ACL, which will keep him out for the remainder of the season and quite likely, a large portion of the 2025-26 campaign. Rather than pushing Davis for a late-season return to an injury-ravaged roster that no longer seems to have aspirations for a deep playoff run, the Mavericks could be inclined to hold the superstar big man out so that he can head into 2025-26 in optimal health.
