Stephen Curry PG | GS
Warriors' Stephen Curry: Will scrimmage Wednesday
Head coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday that Curry (knee) will participate in Wednesday's scrimmage before the Warriors determine his status for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Curry missed Golden State's final five games prior to the All-Star break due to a right knee issue but could return Thursday. If the superstar isn't cleared to play, Pat Spencer and Brandin Podziemski would be candidates for increased playing time. Curry should be considered questionable for Thursday's contest until the Warriors provide an update on his status.

Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Practices Tuesday
Head coach Steve Kerr said that Porzingis (Achilles) practiced Tuesday and will participate in a scrimmage Wednesday before the Warriors determine his status for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Porzingis was traded from Atlanta to Golden State on Feb. 4 but hasn't played since Jan. 7 due to a lingering left Achilles injury. The Warriors are expected to provide another update on the veteran big man's status after Wednesday's scrimmage, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Thursday's contest.

Obi Toppin PF | IND
Pacers' Obi Toppin: Remains out indefinitely
Head coach Rick Carlisle said that Toppin (foot) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice and that it's going to be "a while" until he returns to game action, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Toppin hasn't played since Oct. 26 due to a right foot stress reaction that required surgery. The 27-year-old forward should be considered week-to-week until the Pacers offer an update on his progress. With Toppin on the shelf, Jarace Walker and Micah Potter will likely continue to see increased burn in the frontcourt.

Ivica Zubac C | IND
Pacers' Ivica Zubac: No timetable for return
Head coach Rick Carlisle said that Zubac (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice and that it's going to be "a while" until he returns to game action, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Zubac was traded from Los Angeles to Indiana on Feb. 5 but has yet to make his Pacers debut due to a left ankle sprain. It appears likely that the 15-40 Pacers will give the big man ample time to ramp up, as they aren't expected to make a postseason push. In the meantime, Jay Huff and Micah Potter should continue to see significant minutes. Zubac should be considered week-to-week until Indiana offers an update on his progress.

Mason Plumlee C | SA
Spurs' Mason Plumlee: Inks pact with San Antonio
Plumlee (groin) signed a 10-day contract with the Spurs on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Plumlee underwent surgery in late December to address a right groin injury before being traded from Charlotte to Oklahoma City in early February. However, the veteran big man was waived shortly thereafter. It's unclear whether Plumlee will be cleared to suit up immediately, though he can be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Suns. Over 14 regular-season appearances (two starts) with the Hornets in 2025-26, he averaged 1.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in 8.9 minutes per contest.

Magic's Alex Morales: Secures two-way deal with Magic
The Magic signed Morales to a two-way contract Tuesday.
Morales has already been a member of Orlando's G League affiliate, the Osceola Magic, but now he can bounce back and forth from the parent club as needed. Through 18 G League regular-season appearances, the 28-year-old is averaging 19.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.4 steals in 35.6 minutes per game.

Dalano Banton SG | LAC
Dalano Banton: Back on open market
Banton became a free agent Tuesday after his 10-day contract with the Clippers expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
The Clippers will have the ability to re-sign Banton to a second 10-day deal, though it's unclear if they plan on going that route. The 26-year-old wing appeared in two of the Clippers' four games over the course of his contract, playing 10 minutes in total and recording six points (3-4 FG), two assists, one rebound and one steal.

Nate Williams SG | GS
Warriors' Nate Williams: Lands two-way deal
Williams agreed Monday with the Warriors on a two-way contract, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.
The 27-year-old wing will fill the Warriors' remaining two-way spot, which was vacated when Pat Spencer was upgraded to a standard contract earlier this month. Williams previously made 27 appearances at the NBA level over the past three seasons between stops with the Trail Blazers and Rockets, but he's played exclusively in the G League so far in 2025-26. Over his 35 appearances with the Long Island Nets, Williams averaged 18.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 three-pointers, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks in 34.0 minutes per contest while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 36.5 percent from downtown.

Jabari Walker PF | PHI
76ers' Jabari Walker: Upgraded to standard contract
Walker agreed to a two-year, $3.35 million contract with the 76ers on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Walker had been signed to a two-way deal with Philadelphia, but because he had exhausted his eligibility at the NBA level after he was active for the maximum 50 games, the 76ers upgraded him to a standard contract to ensure that he'll be available coming out of the All-Star break. Before using up his eligibility and not appearing in any of the 76ers' last four games, Walker had been a fringe member of the rotation. In his 45 appearances (six starts) so far this season, Walker averaged 3.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 12.1 minutes per game.

Alondes Williams SG | WAS
Wizards' Alondes Williams: Nabs 10-day deal with Washington
Williams agreed to a 10-day contract with the Wizards on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Williams has been a standout performer in 2025-26 for Washington's G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go, and he's now get a look with the parent club on a short-term deal. The 26-year-old offers the Wizards some backcourt depth while the squad waits for Trae Young (knee) to make his team debut, but he's unlikely to have much fantasy relevance at the NBA level. Over 23 appearances with the Go-Go this season, Williams averaged 20.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.8 three-pointers and 1.7 steals in 35.7 minutes per contest.
