Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (face) is questionable for Thursday's contest against Phoenix.

Ben Simmons Iffy For Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (back) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit.

D'Angelo Russell To Miss Second Straight Game

Joey Daccord Activated From Injured Reserve

Seattle Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord (upper body) was activated from Injured Reserve on Tuesday. This paves the way for him to return to the lineup in Thursday's matchup against Columbus.
