Williams (ankle) will play Monday against the 76ers, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Williams was given a questionable tag heading into Monday's game, but the team has since cleared him for action. He'll return to play following a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain.

Davis is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left ankle sprain, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis sprained his left ankle during the Lakers' Christmas Day win over the Warriors. He was able to play Saturday against the Kings, and the injury didn't appear to slow him down as he dominated with 36 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists across 39 minutes in a 132-122 win. Unless he suffers a setback, Davis should be able to play on New Year's Eve.

Bol (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Bol isn't usually part of the rotation, so the team is unlikely to rush him back into action before he's at 100 percent. The club will likely see how he fares in shootaround and warmups before making a decision on his availability ahead of Tuesday's 9 p.m. ET opening tip.

Edey (concussion) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Edey will remain in concussion protocols and miss a second straight game as a result. His next opportunity to play will be Friday against the Kings. Jay Huff is in line to make his second start of the regular season Tuesday due to the absences of Edey and Brandon Clarke (knee).

Clarke (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Clarke, who has a right soleus strain, will join a laundry list of Grizzlies players on the sideline, including fellow center Zach Edey (concussion). With both of the big men sidelined, Jay Huff and Colin Castleton should see a bump in minutes behind Jaren Jackson.

Sarr (illness) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Sarr was a late addition to the injury report due to the illness, though he'll give it a go Monday. Over his last five outings, the rookie big man has averaged 14.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 blocks across 30.2 minutes per contest. He has also shot 46.4 percent from beyond the arc while attempting 5.6 threes per contest in that five-game span.

Fernando (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Fernando hasn't suited up since Dec. 12 due to the toe injury. However, his potential absence Tuesday shouldn't affect any fantasy decisions, as he has averaged only 8.9 minutes per contest over 16 regular-season appearances.

Porzingis (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

Porzingis has missed two straight games due to a left ankle sprain, allowing Al Horford to play an expanded role. Even if Porzingis gets the green light Tuesday, he may face some limitations given his checkered injury history.

Hayes (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Mark Medina of Sportskeeda reports.

Hayes has missed 20 of the Lakers' last 21 games but is trending toward playing against Cleveland, which gives Los Angeles some much-needed depth at the center position. Hayes has played fewer than 20 minutes in nine of his 11 appearances this season.

The Thunder recalled Carlson from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Monday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Carlson spent time with the Blue earlier Monday to get some practice reps in, but he'll be available for the Thunder's next game Tuesday versus the Timberwolves.
