Toppin is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to right foot injury management.

Toppin was listed as questionable leading up to Sunday's game against Miami due to a back injury and right foot injury management, so he appears to have shed the back issue. All signs point to the Dayton product suiting up for Wednesday's tilt.

Davis (finger) is healing on schedule and has been cleared for light contact work, though he remains without a timetable for a return, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Davis hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand and can be considered week-to-week until the Wizards offer another update on his progress. However, with the team holding a 17-58 record, it wouldn't be surprising if the star big man doesn't return this season.

Hendricks (finger) is listed as doubtful ahead of Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Hendricks started Monday's 131-105 loss to Phoenix. However, he likely won't suit up for Wednesday's meeting with the visiting Knicks. Tyler Burton and Rayan Rupert would be candidates to see increased playing time if Hendricks is ultimately ruled out.

Gibson (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Gibson has missed the Grizzlies' last two matchups due to right foot soreness. He'll presumably take the court for shootaround and warmups to determine whether he feels healthy enough to give it a go Wednesday.

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

Small missed Monday's loss to the Suns due to lower-back soreness, though he's set to return to action Wednesday. The rookie second-rounder has started each of his last five appearances, during which he has averaged 11.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.0 minutes per contest. His return will leave fewer minutes available for guys like Adama Bal and DeJon Jarreau.

Prosper (wrist) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.

Prosper is set to return from a one-game absence due to a right wrist injury. The third-year big man has been impressive for the Grizzlies of late, averaging 15.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.9 three-pointers across 24.6 minutes per game in his last nine appearances, shooting 43.6 percent from beyond the arc over this span.

Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Jerome is in line for his fifth straight absence while rehabbing from a left ankle sprain. The fact that he's been ruled out a full day ahead of Wednesday's game is likely a sign that he's not all that close to a return. With only six games remaining in the regular season after Wednesday, it's unknown if he'll get healthy in time to appear down the stretch, especially with little to play for.

Richards (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Richards missed the Bulls' last three games because of a sprained right elbow. If he is ruled out heading into Wednesday's contest, Guerschon Yabusele (ankle), who is also questionable, would be in line to start. However, if both players don't suit up, Leonard Miller would likely start the game in the middle, with rookie Lachlan Olbrich coming in for relief.

McClung (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

McClung missed the G League Windy City Bulls' regular-season finale due to a right hamstring issue but is set to be available for the parent club against Indiana. However, the two-way player isn't guaranteed to see the floor for Chicago.

Yabusele is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to a sprained left ankle.

Yabusele continues to be bothered by the injury and could go through pregame warmups Wednesday before Chicago updates his playing status. Nick Richards (elbow) is also questionable, so the depleted Bulls frontcourt could be down to Leonard Miller and Lachlan Olbrich as the last men standing at the center position.
