  • Clippers' Drew Eubanks: Cleared for Tuesday

    Eubanks (recently traded) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

    Eubanks will be available to make his debut with the Clippers after the club acquired him via trade Saturday. Over his last five outings (two starts) with the Jazz, Eubanks had averaged 6.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 16.6 minutes per contest.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Pacers' Myles Turner: Sitting Monday

    Turner (ankle) won't play in Monday's game against the Jazz, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Turner will be sidelined for the first time since Jan. 8 due to a right peroneal strain. Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin will likely be tasked with covering nearly all the minutes at center in Turner's absence, while Jarace Walker could re-enter head coach Rick Carlisle's rotation.

  • Spurs' Charles Bassey: Slides back to bench Monday

    Bassey is coming off the bench in Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

    With Victor Wembanyama overcoming an illness Monday, Bassey will slide back to San Antonio's bench following Saturday's spot start. Across 30 contests from the Spurs' second unit this year, Bassey has averaged 4.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 10.4 minutes, so he'll likely be hard-pressed for fantasy value against Memphis.

  • Anthony Davis PF | WAS

    Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Won't go Tuesday

    Davis has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to an abdominal muscle strain.

    Davis missed the Lakers' past three matchups due to this injury, and he's not yet ready to return to play following Saturday night's trade. His next opportunity to make his Dallas debut will arrive Thursday in Boston.

  • Naz Reid PF | CHA

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Good to go Monday

    Reid (finger) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Kings.

    The big man will return to action without missing a game after sustaining a right finger sprain during Saturday's loss to Washington. With Julius Randle (groin) on the shelf, Reid will likely remain in the starting five against Sacramento. Over his last five outings (one start), the 25-year-old has averaged 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.8 minutes per contest.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Will play Monday

    Wembanyama (illness) is good to go Monday against Memphis, Don Harris of News 4 San Antonio reports.

    Wembanyama missed Saturday's contest against Miami due to illness, but he is officially cleared to play against the Grizzlies. Wembanyama is averaging 24.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 4.0 blocks and 1.1 steals over 33.1 minutes this season.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Cleared for contact

    Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that Robinson (ankle) has been cleared to resume taking contact, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    Robinson has yet to make his season debut while recovering from the surgery he underwent on his left ankle last May. While Robinson's advancement to taking contact on the court is the next step forward in his recovery program, the Knicks aren't yet putting a timeline on the center's return to game action. Once healthy, the 26-year-old should serve as the primary backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns, a role that likely will result in Robinson playing fewer than 20 minutes per game.

  • Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Won't play Monday vs. Spurs

    Clarke (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Spurs.

    Clarke will be held out of the Grizzlies' second game of a back-to-back set Monday due to back soreness, and his next chance to see the floor will be Wednesday's road game against the Raptors. Jay Huff and Santi Aldama could see their minutes off the bench increase due to Clarke's absence.

  • Brook Lopez C | LAC

    Bucks' Brook Lopez: Sidelined for Monday

    Lopez (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Thunder, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

    Lopez will be held out for the second leg of a back-to-back set along with several other key players, including Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Damian Lillard (groin), Khris Middleton (ankles) and Bobby Portis (personal). The absences of Lopez, Portis and Antetokounmpo in particular leave the Bucks especially thin in the frontcourt, which could result in Taurean Prince, Tyler Smith and Chris Livingston all seeing minutes as small-ball options at center.

  • Naz Reid PF | CHA

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Expected to play Monday

    Head coach Chris Finch said he expects Reid (finger) to play against the Kings on Monday, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

    Reid sprained his right finger during the Timberwolves' 105-103 loss to the Wizards on Saturday. His availability for Minnesota is crucial as Julius Randle is set to miss multiple games due to a right groin strain. Since the beginning of January, Reid has averaged 15.6 points on 52.9 percent shooting (including 55.8 percent from three on 5.4 3PA/G), 5.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks over 26.5 minutes per game. Reid should have a good chance at increasing those numbers for as long as he's in the Timberwolves' starting lineup due to Randle's injury.
