NBA Player News

Drummond (toe) is available for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Drummond is good to go for the 76ers to handle the starting center gig in the absence of Joel Embiid (foot) on Tuesday. Over 15 games as a starter this season, Drummond has averaged 9.7 rebounds, 8.1 points and 1.6 steals.

Zubac (eye) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Zubac will miss his second straight contest Wednesday due to a left eye corneal abrasion. Mo Bamba will likely draw another start in his absence. Zubac's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Washington.

Adams (migraine) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

After being a late scratch ahead of Monday's game against the Pistons, Adams is good to go for the Rockets on Wednesday. The veteran big man should resume his role as starter Alperen Sengun's top backup from Houston's bench.

Boucher (illness) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Magic, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Despite conflicting reports, Boucher seems good to go Tuesday after dealing with an illness. While it's unclear how much Boucher will play against Orlando, he's averaged 13.2 points and 7.4 rebounds in 20.2 minutes across his last five outings.

Horford (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Horford has consistently sat out one of leg of Boston's back-to-backs this season. If the veteran big man is downgraded to out Wednesday, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Powell (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Powell will miss a second straight game with a right hip strain Wednesday. If Dereck Lively (ankle) joins him on the shelf against Minnesota, Daniel Gafford should dominate the center minutes for the Mavericks while Maxi Kleber likely operates as Dallas' top backup big man off the bench.

Despite previous reports, Boucher (illness) is listed as available on the injury report for Tuesday's game versus the Magic.

Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca and Esfandiar Braheni of The Athletic have both reported that Boucher will sit out Tuesday due to an illness. Still, the Raptors' official injury report and the daily lineups page on NBA.com both indicate that Boucher is available. Due to this conflicting information, it remains to be seen if Boucher will ultimately suit up against Orlando.

Ware will start Tuesday's game against Portland, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Ware will make his first NBA start Tuesday alongside Bam Adebayo in Miami's frontcourt, supplanting Haywood Highsmith from the first unit. The rookie first-rounder is averaging 12.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 threes while shooting 45.8 percent from three-point land in 20.6 minutes over his last 11 games.

Lively (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Lively is in danger of missing his fourth straight contest Wednesday due to a right ankle sprain. Daniel Gafford will likely continue to receive increased playing time if Lively is ruled out yet again.

Williams (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Heat, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Williams has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Portland's previous contest due to left ankle soreness. Williams is averaging 3.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 assists in 15.7 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
