Carter (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Carter was a late addition to the injury report due to left ankle soreness and will miss his first game since Jan. 11. With the big man sidelined, Moritz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac are candidates for increased minutes, while Goga Bitadze could enter the rotation. Carter's next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Dallas.

Barnes is now questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to left ankle soreness.

Barnes didn't have an injury designation heading into Tuesday, but the team added him to the injury report approximately two hours before tipoff. He'll likely need to test his ankle during pregame warmups before another update is provided.

Wade is out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons with a sprained right ankle.

The 29-year-old forward will be looking to end a three-game absence Sunday, when the Cavaliers face the Celtics. Wade's absence Tuesday should keep Jaylon Tyson in the starting lineup at small forward, making the latter an appealing streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Edwards is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies due to right foot injury maintenance.

Edwards was a late addition to the injury report Tuesday and may get the night off after appearing in 14 straight games. Over that stretch, the superstar has averaged 28.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 37.0 minutes per game. If he's ultimately ruled out for Tuesday's contest, Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu would be candidates for increased roles, while Terrence Shannon could enter the rotation.

Mitchell (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Mitchell was added to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash due to a bruised left shoulder, but it won't force him to miss any action. The Baylor product will look to begin March on a high note after averaging 8.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists over 10 February appearances.

Thompson has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to a right adductor contusion.

Thompson will be held out of Tuesday's contest after picking up the adductor injury in Sunday's loss to the Thunder. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Orlando. In the meantime, Caleb Martin, Khris Middleton and AJ Johnson are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Martin (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Martin is becoming a mainstay on the Dallas injury report, but he'll shed his probable tag due to lower-back soreness Tuesday. With P.J. Washington (ankle) returning to action, Martin might be heading to the bench. Over his last five outings as a reserve, Martin has averaged 4.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 16.5 minutes per game.

Washington (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Washington will make his return to the hardwood after missing the last three matchups with a left ankle sprain. He should slot right back in with the first unit Tuesday, which would bump Caleb Martin to a bench role.

Flagg (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Will Palaszczuk of Sports Radio WFNZ reports.

Flagg is still recovering from a left mid-foot sprain and will miss an eighth consecutive contest Tuesday. According to NBA reporter Marc Stein, there's some optimism the rookie forward is nearing a return to action, and his next chance to play will come Thursday in Orlando. With Flagg sidelined, Caleb Martin and Brandon Williams are candidates for increased playing time.

Carter is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to left ankle soreness.

Carter was added to the injury report 90 minutes ahead of tipoff, so the issue appears to have popped up at the last second. He's appeared in 19 straight games for the Magic, and he'll presumably need to prove his health during warmups to extend this streak.
