New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (toe) won't be back on Thursday night against the Utah Jazz, marking his ninth straight absence due to left big toe contusion.

Detroit Pistons forward Marvin Bagley III (knee) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He exited after playing 10 minutes due to right knee soreness.

D'Angelo Russell Not Available On Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Taj Gibson To Start On Wednesday

Washington Wizards center Taj Gibson will get the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This seems a bit odd that Gibson moves into the starting five over Daniel Gafford.
