Steven Adams sprains ankle, won't return

Steven Adams suffered a right ankle sprain in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies and did not return.

He limped to the locker room and it didn't look good. The injury was non-contact and it looked like Adams sprained his knee, but his ankle was twisted, as well. He has been solid off the bench with his rebounding ability and there's a good chance he will miss Friday's game against the Lakers. Kendrick Perkins and Nick Collison would get some extra run with the rookie out of the lineup. Adams finished with three points, five boards and a block in the win.

Iman Shumpert (left knee) doubtful to return

Iman Shumpert has a bruised left knee and is doubtful to return to Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

This is the same knee that needed surgery back in Apr. 2012 for a torn ACL. Usually, knee bruises aren't a serious injury, but the Knicks will likely re-evaluate him. Shumpert has played 28.8 minutes per game for the Knicks and is one of their better defenders, so they will definitely miss him. J.R. Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr. would likely pick up the slack since Beno Udrih and Pablo Prigioni are already responsible for playing point guard with Raymond Felton (hamstring) out a while. Hardaway is worth a look as a speculative add in deeper leagues.

Derrick Favors, Marvin Williams will start

Derrick Favors (back) and Marvin Williams (Achilles) will start against the Kings on Wednesday.

The Jazz are going to need all the help inside they can get against DeMarcus Cousins and Favors will start out at the center spot. Williams will start at power forward and Enes Kanter will move back to the bench. Favors can be inserted back into all lineups while there isn't much clarity regarding the rest of the front court rotation.

Tyreke Evans (ankle) playing on Wednesday

Tyreke Evans is set to enter Wednesday's game late in the first quarter, despite a left ankle injury that was expected to keep him out for a couple weeks.

A report on Dec. 9 from the Pelicans stated that Evans' sprained ankle, which he hurt on Friday, would keep him out anywhere from one to two weeks, but he ended up missing exactly zero games. We have no idea why the report was so wrong, but if he was dropped in your league and you could use a guy averaging 12 points, four rebounds, four assists and a steal per game, pick him up.

Malone: Gay, Acy and Gray won't play vs. Utah

Mike Malone confirmed Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray will not play against the Jazz on Wednesday.

All of the players involved in Sunday's trade have not had their physicals, so none of the players will be able to play until all seven have been cleared by doctors. The Kings will lean on Derrick Williams, Isaiah Thomas and DeMarcus Cousins should have big nights against a terrible defense. Ben McLemore will look to bounce back.

Joakim Noah will play vs. the Knicks

Joakim Noah (thigh) will play against the Knicks on Wednesday.

He went through shootaround and it would have been a surprise to see him sit based on how tough he is and returning home to New York. Noah's presence inside is essential to the Bulls' defense and he should be used in the post more often tonight with Luol Deng out and the team needing scoring wherever they can get it.

Aron Baynes (ankle) is a late scratch vs. MIL

Aron Baynes (ankle) will not play against the Bucks on Wednesday.

It's too bad after Baynes had a great game on Tuesday with 14 points against the Raptors. Baynes doesn't really have much of a game beyond five feet of the basket, but he certainly has an NBA body and was a very tough cover in Summer League. Boris Diaw and Jeff Ayres will get most of the minutes vs. to Tim Duncan.

Luol Deng won't play vs. Knicks Wednesday

Luol Deng (Achilles) will not play against the Knicks on Wednesday.

He tried to warm up for the game and must not have been feeling good. This will be his third game out of the lineup and Deng has suddenly become a little more fragile. He led the NBA in minutes per game two seasons ago, but his age might be catching up with him a bit at 28. Taj Gibson will likely start at small forward. Deng should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Rodney Stuckey will return on Wednesday

Rodney Stuckey (knee) will return to the lineup on Wednesday vs. the Pelicans.

He missed two games with tendinitis in his left knee and the injury was never considered serious. Stuckey was playing well in his previous eight games, averaging 16.3 points on 47.9 percent shooting. He's worth a look as a start on a nine-game night.

Ray Felton (hamstring) 'could be out a while'

Coach Mike Woodson said on Wednesday Raymond Felton (hamstring) "could be out a while."

Felton pulled his hamstring injury on Tuesday and already said he had no chance to play earlier today at shootaround. After a day off on Thursday, the Knicks will play three games in four games, so it's not a stretch to think Felton could miss all of those. Pablo Prigioni and Beno Udrih will split the duties while Prigioni gets the first crack at starting. Felton wasn't a must-own player to begin with, so his owners might have to weigh their options.

NIkola Vucevic (ankle) will start vs. Bobcats

Nikola Vucevic (ankle) will start against the Bobcats on Wednesday.

He has his ankle taped up and he will return after missing four games with an ankle sprain. The Magic need him back badly and their interior presence has evaporated with their big man out of the lineup. Most notably, they had just 22 points in the paint against the Knicks last week, so the team should try to get Vuecvic involved early and often. Andrew Nicholson will likely move back to the bench.
