  • Pelle Larsson SG | MIA

    Heat's Pelle Larsson: Exits to locker room

    Larsson exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left ankle injury in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Magic, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

    Larsson stepped on a teammate's foot and turned his ankle before limping to the locker room with 4:21 remaining in the second quarter. If the second-year swingman is unable to return, Jaime Jaquez and Simone Fontecchio could see increased playing time the rest of the way. Larsson can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Trending toward playing Tuesday

    Towns (calf) is going through pregame warmups with the intention of playing in Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals match against the Raptors, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

    Towns missed Sunday's win over the Magic due to left calf tightness. He was initially listed as questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup contest, but it appears the veteran big man will be available to play. Over his last 10 outings, Towns has averaged 23.3 points, 11.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 threes over 33.1 minutes per game.

  • Jamal Shead PG | TOR

    Raptors' Jamal Shead: Will play vs. Knicks

    Shead (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

    Shead is overcoming a questionable tag with a right quadriceps contusion Tuesday. With Immanuel Quickley unable to play due to an illness, it looks like the minutes at point guard will be divvied up among Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter. Shead has averaged 5.7 points, 5.1 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 20.7 minutes per contest over his last 16 games.

  • Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Out Tuesday

    Quickley (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

    Quickley was a late addition to the injury report and will miss his first game of the season due to an illness. With the 26-year-old point guard unavailable, Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter and A.J. Lawson are candidates for increased playing time, while Scottie Barnes could handle increased playmaking duties.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Listed out for Wednesday

    Hartenstein (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

    The Thunder are expected to re-evaluate Hartenstein in the near future, but the 27-year-old center isn't ready for game action yet. Jaylin Williams should hang onto meaningful minutes for the time being.

  • Isaiah Joe SG | OKC

    Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Won't suit up Wednesday

    Joe (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

    Joe will miss his third straight game due to a left knee contusion. With the 26-year-old swingman sidelined, Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins are candidates for increased playing time.

  • Luguentz Dort SF | OKC

    Thunder's Luguentz Dort: Absent from injury report

    Dort (adductor) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

    A right adductor strain cost Dort three straight games, but his omission from the injury report puts him in a position to return Wednesday. The expectation is that the 26-year-old will rejoin the starting lineup, which would likely send Jaylin Williams to the second unit. For the campaign, Dort has averaged 8.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.1 minutes per game over 15 regular-season outings.

  • Isaiah Livers SF | PHO

    Suns' Isaiah Livers: Ruled out for Wednesday

    Livers (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

    Livers will miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a strained right hip. With the two-way player sidelined, Nigel Hayes-Davis could see a slight bump in minutes.

  • Alex Caruso PG | OKC

    Thunder's Alex Caruso: Removed from injury report

    Caruso (quadriceps) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

    After sitting out four consecutive games due to a right quadriceps contusion, Caruso is lined up for a return Wednesday. The veteran swingman will likely play his usual role off the bench. On the year, Caruso has averaged 5.7 points, 2.5 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 18.8 minutes per contest through 15 regular-season games.

  • Devin Booker SG | PHO

    Suns' Devin Booker: Questionable for Wednesday

    Booker (groin) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

    Booker sustained a right groin strain against the Lakers on Dec. 1, though he has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup. If the star guard is cleared to suit up against Oklahoma City, Jamaree Bouyea and Jordan Goodwin are candidates to see a dip in minutes. In his previous five games before sustaining the groin injury, Booker averaged 21.2 points, 6.2 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals while shooting just 36.4 percent from the field in 37.8 minutes per contest.
