Michael Carter-Williams Remains Sidelined For Monday

Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) will be unavailable for the 11th consecutive contest Monday due to a sprained left foot.

D'Angelo Russell Unlikely To Suit Up Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) has been deemed "unlikely" to play in Monday's game versus Golden State, per head coach Ryan Saunders.

Aaron Gordon Likely To Return For Monday’s Contest

Orlando Magic point guard/power forward Aaron Gordon (hip) has been deemed probable to get back onto the floor for Monday's contest versus Charlotte after sitting out Sunday's game.
