The Warriors announced Tuesday that Moody (wrist) has resumed on-court work and will be re-evaluated later this week.

Moody is set to miss a fourth consecutive contest Tuesday due to a right wrist sprain, though there's a chance he will return Friday against the Timberwolves. If the 23-year-old wing remains sidelined Friday, Gui Santos, LJ Cryer and Gary Payton (ankle) would be candidates for increased playing time.

Green will not start Tuesday's game against the Suns.

With Kyle Kuzma (back) returning to the lineup after a one-game absence, Green will revert to a bench role. During his lone appearance off the bench this season in Saturday's win over Utah, the sharpshooter posted seven points, one rebound and one assist across 21 minutes.

Mamukelashvili will start Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

With Jakob Poeltl (illness) and Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) unavailable, Mamukelashvili will enter the starting five for the first time since Jan. 25. As a starter this season (11 games), the big man has averaged 16.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 30.6 minutes per contest.

Collier (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Collier was unable to play against the Warriors on Monday due to an illness, and he missed the Jazz's prior game against the Bucks on Saturday while attending to a personal matter. The 2024 first-rounder is on track to return Wednesday, and he could start against New York if Keyonte George (illness) is unable to play.

Konchar is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to left calf soreness.

The calf issue is a new concern for Konchar, who has played at least 26 minutes in each of Utah's last three games, including two starts. If the 29-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Brice Sensabaugh and Blake Hinson would be candidates for increased playing time.

George (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

George was able to play through an illness in Monday's 119-116 win over the Warriors, though he logged just 24 minutes and finished with 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds. Isaiah Collier would likely enter the starting lineup if George is unable to play against New York.

Bailey (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Bailey missed Monday's win over the Warriors due to an illness but is set to return to action Wednesday. The rookie first-rounder's return will leave fewer minutes available for guys like Blake Hinson, John Konchar (calf) and Brice Sensabaugh.

Carrington will start Tuesday's game against the Heat.

With Trae Young (knee) sidelined, Carrington will return to the first unit Tuesday. As a starter this season (32 games), the second-year guard has averaged 11.6 points, 5.1 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 30.3 minutes per tilt.

Jakucionis is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Wizards on Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Jakucionis will make his 10th start of the season (and first since Feb. 21) due to the absences of Tyler Herro (quadriceps) and Norman Powell (groin). In his last start against the Grizzlies on Feb. 21, Jakucionis finished with 12 points, five assists, three rebounds and two three-pointers over 23 minutes.

Wolf won't start Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

With Michael Porter resting Monday, Wolf posted 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during a 126-115 victory over the Grizzlies. However, the rookie slides back to a bench role with the Nets' leading scorer returning Tuesday. Nonetheless, with Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) and Ziaire Williams (illness) sidelined, Wolf should still see a solid role as a reserve.
