New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes (upper body) is set for a spell on the sidelines, with the team listing him as week-to-week.

Jaylen Brown Good To Go Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness) will return to the lineup Wednesday against Philadelphia.

Donovan Mitchell Questionable Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) could be forced to sit out Wednesday's game against Detroit, with the team regarding him as questionable for the contest.
