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.

Wagner (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Wagner sustained a left high-ankle sprain Dec. 7 and has played in just four games since. However he'll shed his questionable tag and return Wednesday from a 22-game absence due to the ankle injury. The 24-year-old will likely operate under a minutes restriction and may even come off the bench against Atlanta. Over four appearances (two starts) since picking up the injury, he has averaged 12.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 22.8 minutes per contest.

The Hornets recalled Hall from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday.

Hall had been on assignment with the G League's Greensboro Swarm but rejoined the parent club after the affiliate's 112-90 win over the Maine Celtics in the first round of the G League playoffs. He played 18 minutes in the victory, finishing with 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two steals.

Embiid (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

After not being listed on the initial injury report, which dropped Tuesday, Embiid popped up Wednesday morning as out due to an illness. He then posted on X saying he was going to play through the ailment, which wouldn't have been surprising after he did so Monday in Miami, posting 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes. However, Embiid has since posted on X again, saying that the organization is indeed shutting him down against Washington. Team president Daryl Morey confirmed Embiid will be out, saying the center missed the team's morning film session and will be checked out by a doctor, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Raptors recalled Mogbo from the G League's Raptors 905 on Wednesday.

Mogbo wasn't available for the Raptors' 127-116 loss to Detroit on Tuesday while he was on assignment in the G League, but he'll suit up for the parent club in the second leg of its back-to-back set Wednesday versus the Kings. The second-year big man took the court Tuesday with the 905 in a 120-105 loss to the Motor City Cruise in the first round of the G League playoffs, playing 19 minutes and finishing with four points (2-4 FG), five rebounds and one block.
