Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (oblique) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup against Portland. This indicates that Wagner is getting close to returning to action.

Zion Williamson Iffy For Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (illness) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.

Hart […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Active On Tuesday

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) will play in Tuesday's matchup against Brooklyn. He was initially considered probable for the game as Towns continues to deal with a thumb injury.
