Diop (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Diop remains without a clear timetable to return due to a left knee injury. He can be considered week-to-week until the Cavaliers offer an update on his progress.

Champagnie (foot) is out for Wednesday's game versus Cleveland.

Champagnie is sidelined by a right foot injury, which he picked up during Monday's loss in Charlotte. Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington make for intriguing streaming options in deeper fantasy leagues for Wednesday.

Dybantsa (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Cleveland.

The rookie No. 1 overall pick has a chance to make his highly anticipated NBA debut Wednesday. His eventual return from an ankle sprain should push Bilal Coulibaly into a reserve role.

Lendeborg (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

The rookie standout is in danger of missing his first game of the season Wednesday with foot soreness. With the Warriors already short on forward options, Georges Niang could be thrust into a starting role if Lendeborg cannot play.

Smart (forearm) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.

Smart is at risk of missing a third straight game with a forearm strain. Reed Sheppard and Tari Eason would remain locked into big roles off the bench if Smart is unable to suit up.

Sengun (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Sengun is dealing with lower-back soreness and will miss his first game of the season, with his next chance to play coming Friday at Dallas. Tari Eason and Clint Capela are both candidates to see increased playing time in Sengun's stead.

Markkanen is day-to-day with a right wrist sprain, per NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Markkanen left Monday's loss to Memphis with the injury, and it doesn't sound initially that he's dealing with a significant setback. The star forward can be tentatively deemed questionable for Wednesday's tilt versus the Spurs.

Carlson (concussion) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Carlson is available to make his regular-season debut with Portland after missing the team's first two regular-season games while in the league's concussion protocol. However, he isn't guaranteed to see the floor.

Sanders will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers, per Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com.

Rui Hachimura is dealing with a calf issue, and the Clippers are planning for Sanders to make his first start of the season in his place. Last regular season, Sanders averaged 10.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 27.3 minutes per contest covering 16 games as a starter.

Larsson is listed as probable for Wednesday's game at Atlanta due to a right ankle sprain.

The ankle injury is a new concern for Larsson, though he's still expected to suit up for Wednesday's contest. The 25-year-old swingman is averaging 9.0 points, 3.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 30.8 minutes per game across four regular-season outings.
