Bates-Diop (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
Bates-Diop has missed four consecutive games due to back soreness. It's unclear how big of a role he will play now that he's back, but he could have more upside than before since Doug McDermott (ankle) is out for the year. Across his last eight appearances, Bates-Diop has averaged 5.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 13.9 minutes per game.
