George (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

George will play through an illness for a second straight game. The talented young guard played just 24 minutes last time out, so it's possible he'll have his minutes limited once again Wednesday. If that's the case, Isaiah Collier would likely see a bump in playing time.

Jackson-Davis (finger) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Jackson-Davis is ending a two-game absence caused by a dislocated finger. With Jakob Poeltl now healthy following an illness, Jackson-Davis isn't in position to play a meaningful role.

Poeltl (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against New Orleans, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Poeltl missed Tuesday's contest due to illness, but he'll be back in action Wednesday. Expect Poeltl to reclaim the starting center spot from Sandro Mamukelashvili. In his last five appearances, Poeltl is averaging 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals over 28.6 minutes.

Carlson (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.

Carlson has been ruled out for a seventh straight game due to a back strain. With Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) also out, look for Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams to aid Chet Holmgren at the center position. Carlson's next chance to play will come Sunday against Minnesota.

Williams (hamstring) is out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.

Williams remains without a clear timeline for a return due to a strained right hamstring. The star forward's absence allows Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell to each have a big boost in streaming appeal in fantasy leagues.

Caruso (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Celtics.

Caruso will return from a two-game absence Thursday, which could result in fewer minutes for Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace. Caruso is averaging 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 triples and 1.4 steals per game this season.

Hartenstein (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Boston.

Hartenstein will miss a third straight game due to a bruised left calf. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams will continue to see more playing time. Hartenstein's next chance to play will come Sunday against Minnesota.

Holmgren (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Celtics.

It looks like Holmgren will be back in action Thursday following a two-game stint on the sidelines, which will likely shift Jaylin Williams back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Kenrich Williams with Holmgren active.

Waters (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Denver, Raul Dominguez Jr. of the Associated Press reports.

Waters missed the Spurs' most recent game due to illness, and he's back on the injury report ahead of Thursday's tilt. The 28-year-old is averaging just 6.5 minutes per game this season.

Wembanyama is questionable to play Thursday versus the Nuggets due to right ankle soreness, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

We'll have a better idea of Wembanyama's status following Thursday's shootaround, but it's worth noting that the 22-year-old center hasn't missed a game since January. However, if Wembanyama does need to hit the sidelines, Luke Kornet would likely get a start, and he'd be someone to consider as a streamer.
