San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He's missed each of the last three games due to an illness.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kent Bazemore is expected to be active for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons.
