Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Iffy for Tuesday
Jackson-Davis (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.
Jackson-Davis is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to the illness. The second-year pro has received little playing time of late, so his potential absence shouldn't cause too many waves in the rotation.

Powell has been hampered by a right hip strain that has kept him out of action since Jan. 17, and it appears he won't be playing Tuesday. He's been increasing his participation in practice, but there isn't a clear timeline for his return.
