The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to absorb significant injury blows. Cason Wallace (torn left labrum) and Jalen Williams (fractured left fibula, ankle reconstruction) are both out for most if not all of the season, and Chet Holmgren will miss at least 8-10 weeks with a patellar tendon tear. For Wednesday's game against Cleveland, Jaylin Williams is questionable with back spasms, while Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topic are both out.

Several players are trending toward availability Wednesday after injury scares. Nicolas Claxton is questionable to make his season debut for New York against Chicago, which could push Jalen Smith (probable, left finger sprain) to a bench role. Jayson Tatum is questionable for Boston's game against Milwaukee due to rest, joining Payton Pritchard (questionable, right shoulder contusion) and Devin Carter (out, illness) on the Celtics' injury report. Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable for that same game despite a right wrist sprain.

New Orleans faces a crowded injury report with Yves Missi (knee bone bruise) and Jusuf Nurkic (plantar plate tear) both out, while Mo Bamba is questionable with a right ankle sprain and Trey Murphy III is probable despite bilateral patella tendinopathy. Jaren Jackson Jr. remains out 6-8 weeks for Utah with a torn MCL.

Among other notable updates, Anthony Edwards is out for Minnesota following right knee arthroscopy, potentially for up to two months. Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell are both out for Indiana with hamstring strains, while Ben Sheppard is out months with a torn meniscus. Ja Morant remains sidelined four weeks with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Portland. Santi Aldama has been upgraded to questionable for Dallas after missing all of this season recovering from knee surgery.

Several players cleared from the injury list include Alex Caruso, Paul George, Kyrie Irving, Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard, and Aaron Nesmith, among others.
