New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby will sit out his fourth consecutive game Wednesday when he misses his team's contest versus the host Philadelphia 76ers.
Anunoby, 28, is sidelined by a toenail avulsion on his right foot, per NBA injury report.
He is averaging 16.6 points and 5.5 rebounds in 41 games (all starts) this season.
Center Mitchell Robinson is available to return to action after missing Tuesday's 137-134 overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers due to an ankle injury and rest.
Robinson, 27, is averaging 4.8 points and 8.9 rebounds in 38 games (14 starts) this season.
The San Antonio Spurs are releasing fourth-year forward Jeremy Sochan, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 22-year-old had completely fallen out of San Antonio's rotation this season, averaging just over four points per game, despite averaging double-digits in his first three years. Charania notes that the Spurs attempted to find a trade for Sochan before the deadline, but couldn't come to any agreement. Sochan will be free to sign with any other team once his release is official.
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) will sit out the team's final game before the NBA All-Star break on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. This will be the fourth consecutive game that Anunoby has been sidelined. Veteran Landry Shamet has been starting in Anunoby's place the last two games, scoring three and 17 points. He'll likely pick up another start against the 76ers, with Mohamed Diawara and Jose Alvarado rounding out the rotation.
The Indiana Pacers are sitting a handful of rotation players on Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Starters Pascal Siakam (hamstring), Andrew Nembhard (injury management), and Aaron Nesmith (back) have all been ruled out. Reserve guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring) also won't play. Center Micah Potter (ankle) and forward Jarace Walker (illness) are questionable. The lengthy injury report comes on the second night of a back-to-back after Indiana's overtime win over the Knicks on Tuesday. With 14 games on the NBA slate, it's unlikely that any Indiana player who is shoved into the starting lineup will be stream-worthy.
Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (ankle) is off the injury report and will play Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 22-year-old sprained his ankle in the third quarter of Washington's last game versus the Miami Heat and did not return. George is enjoying a much-improved second professional season, although his play has slipped lately. He's averaging 8.7 points, two rebounds, and 2.7 assists in February, compared to season-long averages of 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists. Fellow Washington forward Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is also available for the Wizards tonight.
Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate won't play Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks or against the Houston Rockets after the All-Star break, due to a two-game suspension. Diabate was partially responsible for starting a scuffle with Detroit center Jalen Duren, which escalated into a brawl. Duren, Isaiah Stewart, and Miles Bridges were all tagged with suspensions of various lengths. Rookie center Ryan Kalkbrenner should return to the starting lineup while Diabate serves his suspension. Diabate is averaging a career-best 8.2 points and 8.6 rebounds. He'll be eligible to return on February 20th against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The NBA has suspended Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges for four games, following a brawl in Monday night's matchup between the Hornets and Pistons. Bridges threw punches at Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart before his ejection. The two Pistons and Charlotte center Moussa Diabate (two games) also picked up suspensions. Grant Williams should pick up a bulk of Bridges' vacated minutes. Bridges is allowed to return to game action on February 24th against the Chicago Bulls, following the All-Star break.
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren has been suspended for two games for his role in a brawl between the Pistons and Hornets on Monday. Duren was part of the initial scuffle between the two teams, which spread into a widespread fight. Charlotte's Moussa Diabate (two games), Miles Bridges (four), and Detroit's Isaiah Stewart (seven) also picked up suspensions for their roles in the brawl. Duren won't play Wednesday night against the Raptors or against the Knicks on February 19th. He will, however, be eligible to play in the All-Star Game on Sunday. Backup center Paul Reed will see a heavy uptick in minutes with Duren and Stewart away from the team.
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart will begin serving a seven-game suspension on Wednesday night when his team visits the Toronto Raptors. Stewart was ejected from Monday's game after leaving the bench area during a brawl. He threw multiple punches at Hornets forward Miles Bridges. who will also be suspended for four games. Detroit center Jalen Duren (two games) and Charlotte center Moussa Diabate (two games) also picked up suspensions. With Duren and Stewart out of the lineup, Paul Reed is set to see increased usage in the Detroit rotation. Stewart will be eligible to return on March 3rd against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) is expected to play on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. The team has listed him as probable for the contest after Hauser missed Sunday's loss to the Knicks with lower back spasms. Baylor Scheierman started in Hauser's absence, recording 10 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists. As a reserve, Scheierman has been limited to 11.8 minutes per game and won't have any fantasy value if Hauser bumps him back to the bench on Wednesday night.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He will miss a third consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. Evan Mobley (calf) is missing as well from the frontcourt, giving more looks in the rotation to Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Thomas Bryant. While the two have done well in their roles, they don't see enough action to be considered as viable fantasy options. This is the final game before the All-Star break, and both Wade and Mobley could be back when play resumes on Feb. 19.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) will miss his 10th consecutive game on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old sophomore departed the lineup three weeks ago due to an abdominal strain and doesn't appear to have a timeline for his return. The Thunder's backcourt also remains without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen), boosting the fantasy appeal of Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, and Jared McCain. Wallace is a regular starter for the defending champions and offers the most to fantasy teams, though Joe has also played well lately. He has averaged 16.0 points and 1.8 steals across his last four appearances.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) will remain out on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. The Spaniard has played in only two of Memphis' last 11 games, missing time due to right knee injury management. With Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jock Landale gone, the Grizzlies are very thin in the frontcourt and haven't had a traditional big man in the rotation. Kyle Anderson has served as the starting center, averaging 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks over two games since rejoining the team.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (calf) will be sidelined for a seventh consecutive game on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. On Jan. 27, he was ruled out for 1-3 weeks due to a left calf strain. While there was a chance he would return before the All-Star break, Cleveland won't bring Mobley back until the regular season continues next week. In Mobley's absence, Thomas Bryant has been part of the rotation, but he hasn't offered much from a fantasy perspective. Bryant is averaging 8.3 points and 3.8 rebounds this month.
San Antonio's C Victor Wembanyama recorded a double-double, scoring 40 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in a 136-108 win over the Lakers on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
New York Knicks' G Jalen Brunson scored 40 points on 15-of-31 shooting in a 134-137 loss to the Pacers on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
Knicks' F Josh Hart recorded a triple-double, finishing with 15 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds in a 134-137 loss to the Pacers on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) seems to be nearing his return after picking up a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Austrian big man has been limited by a back issue throughout the season, and last saw action on Dec. 21. Toronto could really use Poeltl on Wednesday after losing Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb). However, given his lengthy absence, Poeltl may only see limited minutes on Wednesday night. In that case, the frontcourt will rely heavily on Sandro Mamukelashvili.
Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's action against the San Antonio Spurs, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports. Ayton was initially listed as questionable for the game. The Lakers will be extremely shorthanded for this matchup, with Luka Doncic (hamstring), LeBron James (foot), Austin Reaves (calf), and Marcus Smart (ankle) also out. Jaxson Hayes is set to take over the starting center role from Ayton, making his sixth start of the campaign. Previously, Hayes has averaged 10.6 points and 4.2 rebounds as a member of the first unit.
Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) won't play on Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. The rookie big man aggravated a thumb injury in Sunday's win over Indiana and will be kept out of action through the All-Star break to allow proper healing. Jakob Poeltl (back) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report and could return on Wednesday. Still, even with the Austrian giant back in the mix, Sandro Mamukelashvili appears set for a busy night against the Eastern Conference leaders.
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He hurt his right knee in Monday's loss to Golden State, and the injury will likely keep Coward sidelined for at least one game. Coward has enjoyed a strong rookie campaign as a regular starter in Memphis, averaging 13.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Taylor Hendricks are set to have more fantasy appeal with Coward on the shelf. The former replaced the 22-year-old in the starting lineup for the second half on Monday.
