Wembanyama finished with 29 points (14-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, five blocks, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Tuesday's 130-103 win over the Kings.

Wembanyama struggled from three-point range but dominated in the paint, tying his career high in dunks (nine) en route to a game-best 29 points. The big man filled the stat sheet, securing his third double-double through four regular-season games. Additionally, he's now provided four-plus blocks three times this season.

Henderson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Henderson will shed his questionable tag due to left ankle soreness and suit up in Los Angeles. The fourth-year guard is averaging 9.5 points in 20.0 minutes per tilt through two regular-season games.

The Mavericks recalled Aldama (knee) from the G League's Texas Legends on Tuesday.

Aldama presumably got some practice reps in with the Legends after being assigned to the squad earlier in the day. He's still working his way back from right knee surgery he underwent in March, and he's listed as doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Thunder.

Demin won't return to Tuesday's game against Boston due to a right leg contusion, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports. He'll finish with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 10 minutes.

Demin was seen holding his leg and eventually limped to the locker room with 2:22 remaining in the first half. The Nets don't play again until Friday versus Detroit, so he will have a few extra days to rest and recover. However, if Demin isn't available for that contest, Keon Ellis or Mikel Brown could replace him in the starting lineup. Either way, Ellis and Brown would be in line for more minutes.

Demin (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Demin hasn't had a good night, though it got even worse after he was seen limping off the floor with 2:22 left in the first half. If the second-year guard can't return, it should mean more minutes for Mikel Brown and Keon Ellis.

Ighodaro (oblique) is feeling better and considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game against the Nuggets, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Ighodaro hasn't played since the regular-season opener due to an oblique strain, and he can be considered questionable for Friday until the Suns offer an update on his status. If the Marquette product remains sidelined against Denver, Khaman Maluach and Duop Reath would likely continue seeing increased playing time.

The Lakers recalled Carr (oblique) from the G League's Coachella Valley Lakers on Tuesday, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Carr presumably joined the G League Lakers to get some practice reps in while working his way back from an oblique strain. His next chance to play for the parent club will come Wednesday against the Clippers in the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set.

Jenkins is not listed in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Jenkins started in Sunday's 106-93 win over the 76ers, finishing with 18 points, eight rebounds, six assists and one block across 38 minutes of action. With Ausar Thompson (ankle) back from a one-game layoff, Jenkins will return to the bench.

Joe (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Joe will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to a right hip contusion. With the 27-year-old wing sidelined, Javonte Green, Kevin Huerter and Ronald Holland are all candidates to see a bump in minutes off the bench.

Thompson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against New York.

Thompson didn't suit up for Sunday's 106-93 win over the 76ers due to a sprained ankle. However, he will avoid a second consecutive absence, meaning Daniss Jenkins will likely return to the bench.
