Caruso (ankle) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Caruso is ready to return from a three-game absence with an ankle sprain. The veteran swingman is primed for a big role from here on out and is worth rostering in all fantasy leagues, given that Jalen Williams (leg) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) are expected to be sidelined at least until the spring.

Christie (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

The swingman is missing his first game of the season with a hip injury , which he suffered Monday against the Kings. Naji Marshall and Zaccharie Risacher stand out as the most likely candidates to step into the starting lineup Wednesday.

Irving (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting in Sacramento.

Irving skipped Monday's 115-100 loss to the Kings for rest, but he'll get back out there for Wednesday's rematch in Sacramento. With Irving back in action, Marcus Sasser's minutes will likely dip.

Aldama (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

The questionable tag is an upgrade for Aldama, who has either been listed as out or doubtful ahead of all of Dallas' games this season. If the 25-year-old is cleared to make his season debut following knee surgery, he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction.

Capela (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Capela is in danger of missing his second consecutive contest and third overall of the 2026-27 campaign. With Steven Adams (calf) sidelined, Jabari Smith may spend more time in the middle behind Alperen Sengun. Oscar Tshiebwe might also see a few minutes off the bench.

Knueppel (hamstring) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Knueppel hasn't played this season, though it appears he will make his 2026-27 campaign debut versus Brooklyn. It may take him a few games to ramp up. However, Knueppel's return, even in a limited capacity, will presumably send Sion James back to the bench.

Tyson is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to a right ankle sprain.

Tyson is remaining sidelined for a third straight game due to the injury. Meleek Thomas and Mario Hezonja should continue to play meaningful roles for the Cavaliers until Tyson is ready to return.

Watson (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game in Oklahoma City.

This will be Watson's second straight game on the sidelines, and with Friday's game being the first of a back-to-back set, he may need to spend an additional game on the inactive list. Meleek Thomas, Sam Merrill and Mario Hezonja will help pick up the slack in Watson's absence.

Landale is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards with a left hip strain, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Landale is sidelined for a second consecutive game with the injury. Zuby Ejiofor should handle the No. 2 center spot for as long as Landale is on the shelf.

Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game in Washington, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson suffered a sprained left ankle in Saturday's 121-99 loss to New Orleans and was ruled out ahead of Monday's meeting with the Pacers. If Johnson can't get back on the floor Wednesday versus the Wizards, Luguentz Dort might make his second consecutive start.
