Brice Sensabaugh Unavailable Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (ankle) will not play on Wednesday against Oklahoma City. He must skip at least one game due to a right ankle sprain.

Lauri Markkanen Back For Jazz On Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) will rejoin the action on Wednesday against Oklahoma City. He is back in the mix after missing four games due to back spasms.

However, Collins may see only limited […]

Caris LeVert Remains Out Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Houston.

Bradley Beal Will Not Play Against Brooklyn

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Brooklyn. Beal is dealing with a left ankle sprain.

Quentin Grimes Returns To Action Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Quentin Grimes (back) will return from a one-game absence on Wednesday against Minnesota. Back spasms forced Grimes to miss Monday's matchup against Charlotte.

Klay Thompson Sits Out Wednesday's Action

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (ankle) will not take the court for Wednesday's meeting with Minnesota. The veteran sharpshooter has been downgraded from questionable to out.
