Hall has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns due to a sore right ankle.

The big man rejoined the Hornets after he presumably sustained the injury Tuesday, when he logged 18 minutes in the G League Greensboro Swarm's 112-90 win over the Maine Celtics in the first round of the G League playoffs. The severity of the injury isn't known, but the Hornets' decision to recall him from the G League suggests that he won't be available for the Swarm's next game Friday.

Coffey (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets.

Coffey will miss a seventh consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain, though his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation. His next chance to play will come Sunday in Chicago.

Sasser (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota.

Sasser carried a questionable tag heading into Tuesday's 127-116 win over the Raptors. While he was cleared to suit up for that contest, he would go on to re-aggravate his hip injury and was subsequently ruled out after only eight minutes of work. If Sasser can't play Thursday against Minnesota, Caris LeVert would likely see more action off the bench.

Highsmith (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets.

Highsmith will miss an eighth consecutive contest due to right knee injury management and is without a clear timetable for a return to game action. For now, he can be considered highly questionable for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Goodwin (hip) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Hornets.

Goodwin was sent for further evaluation after appearing to suffer a hip injury in Tuesday's loss to the Magic, though he's set to play Thursday. The 27-year-old guard has come off the bench in four straight games, during which he has averaged 8.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.0 steals across 26.5 minutes per contest.

Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Williams has been progressing in his recovery from a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot. It's an injury that has prevented him from playing since March 3, but he was recently cleared for 5-on-5 at practice, and the fact that he's earned the questionable tag for Thursday's game -- rather than being ruled out immediately -- is a good sign for the fourth-year center. Should Williams return, Oso Ighodaro would likely see his role decrease in the Suns' rotation, though the former will likely operate under a minutes restriction once he's cleared to play.

The Kings list Baldwin (two-way) as out for Wednesday's game in Toronto.

With Baldwin joining the G League club for Wednesday's playoff game against the Iowa Wolves, the Kings will have just 10 players available for their matchup with the Raptors. The two-way player will be eligible to play in each of Sacramento's final five games of the season after Wednesday, but it's unclear if he'll be featured in the rotation for all of those contests. He's made six appearances for Sacramento thus far, averaging 3.8 points and 3.5 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game.

Stewart (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against Minnesota.

Stewart has missed the last 10 contests. Although he has resumed on-court activities, his return date remains a mystery. With Stewart out again, Paul Reed should continue receiving the bulk of the minutes off the bench behind Jalen Duren.

The Kings assigned Jeffries to the G League's Stockton Kings on Tuesday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Jeffries will sit out Sacramento's game Wednesday in Toronto while he instead suits up for Stockton the same night in its first-round matchup with the Iowa Wolves in the G League playoffs. Since signing a 10-day hardship contract with Sacramento last week, Jeffries has appeared in three games and has averaged 10.3 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 20.0 minutes.

Edwards is listed questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit due to right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome and an illness.

Edwards recently missed six consecutive games due to the knee issue, and since he's also apparently under the weather, Minnesota may be inclined to hold him out for the front end of their back-to-back set. If the star guard is ruled out, Bones Hyland and Mike Conley would likely absorb most of his minutes. Edwards returned from the extended absence in Monday's blowout win over Dallas, posting 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and two rebounds across 23 minutes.
