Bitadze (concussion) tallied 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 22 minutes off the bench in Monday's 125-119 double-overtime loss to the Heat.

Though he had started in each of his prior 33 appearances, Bitadze was deployed as the backup center behind Wendell Carter on Monday as he made his return from a six-game absence due to a concussion. Poor free-throw shooting aside, Bitadze produced well during his time on the court, but it's unclear if he'll recapture his spot in the starting five and poach more playing time from Carter, who logged 36 minutes Monday. The Magic were without star power forward Paolo Banchero due to an oblique tear for all 33 of Bitadze's previous starts, and head coach Jamahl Mosley may prefer Carter's fit on the top unit with a now-healthy Banchero.

Robinson became a free agent Tuesday after his 10-day contract with the Raptors expired, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Robinson appeared in three games over the course of his week-and-a-half-long stay with Toronto, averaging 2.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 11.0 minutes per contest. With Kelly Olynyk tending to a tight calf, the Raptors could look to bring Robinson back on a second 10-day deal to provide extra insurance in the frontcourt.

Sharpe contributed 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 23 minutes during Monday's 110-96 loss to the Kings.

Sharpe recorded his third double-double of the season, continuing to flash some nice upside despite his limited role. Nic Claxton was battling foul issues throughout the contest, allowing Sharpe to see a handful of extra minutes. While there could very well come a time when Sharpe is playing meaningful minutes on a nightly basis, it appears as though we aren't quite there yet.

Len produced one rebound across five minutes during Monday's 110-96 win over the Nets.

Len failed to score for the third straight game, continuing what has been another disappointing season. At this point, he is not an every-night part of the rotation, having played a combined 14 minutes in the past four games. With averages of just 1.6 points and 1.9 rebounds, the outlook is far from positive.

Reid (shoulder) returned to Monday's game against Atlanta with 3:22 remaining in the fourth quarter, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Reid exited to the locker room with 7:15 remaining in the final quarter due to an apparent shoulder injury. However, the big man checked back in less than four minutes later and should be good to go the rest of the way.

Reid exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Hawks, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Reid checked out with 7:15 remaining in the fourth, grabbing at his shoulder and immediately heading back to the locker room. The big man can be considered questionable to return in the closing minutes of the contest.

Sabonis racked up 21 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 22 rebounds and 10 assists in 41 minutes during Monday's 110-96 win over the Nets.

Sabonis led the Kings with game highs in rebounds and assists during an extremely efficient outing from the field. The star big man also recorded his third game of the season with 20-plus points and rebounds, including his second career triple-double with at least 20 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists. The ninth-year center has logged 23 consecutive outings with a double-double or better, and he continues to stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis.

Sarr won't return to Monday's game against the Mavericks due to left ankle soreness, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Sarr visited the locker room during the second quarter after suffering the injury, and while he was able to re-enter the matchup upon being evaluated, he evidently didn't feel healthy enough to finish out the contest. Look for Jonas Valanciunas to see more playing time at center in the second half while Sarr is sidelined. The rookie will finish the game with four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes.

Davis finished with 42 points (17-28 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 23 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 37 minutes during Monday's 112-107 victory over the Hornets.

Davis kept the Lakers afloat Monday, pacing the team in points and rebounds by a wide margin. This marks new season highs in both categories for the 31-year-old, who has now reached the 40-point threshold three times through 41 games this season. Davis has also secured a double-double in 11 of his last 12 appearances.

Sarr is questionable to return during Monday's game against Dallas due to left ankle soreness.

Sarr was able to return to the game after heading back to the locker room at the start of the second quarter, though he is now in jeopardy of missing the final half of the contest. If the rookie big man is unable to return during the second half, Jonas Valanciunas will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.
