Injury Notes: Mathurin, Sengun, Bam, Edwards, MPJ Joel Embiid and Paul George are set to return to action on Wednesday, marking a significant development for their respective teams. Meanwhile, the Warriors have signed Omer Yurtseven to a second 10-day contract, while the Celtics have re-signed Charles Bassey on a similar deal. The NBA is also exploring the possibility of adding expansion teams in Seattle and Vegas, a move that could reshape the league’s landscape in the coming years. On the other hand, the Grizzlies have ruled out Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jarred Vanderbilt for the remainder of the season due to injuries. Moses Moody of the Mavericks has been diagnosed with a torn patellar tendon, which will require further evaluation and treatment. The Clippers’ injury report has seen several updates. Guard Bennedict Mathurin, who has been sidelined for much of the season due to a right big toe issue, is ruled out for upcoming games against the Pelicans and Mavericks. His injury, initially labeled a “right toe injury recovery,” has led to a prolonged absence, including 11 consecutive missed games in October and November. Another Clippers guard, Darius Garland, is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game due to a left toe injury, though he is expected to manage the issue during a back-to-back set. Kawhi Leonard, who missed Monday’s contest against the Spurs with a left ankle sprain, has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday’s matchup. The Rockets’ Alperen Sengun has been removed from the injury report after sitting out two games due to low back pain, suggesting he will be available for Wednesday’s game against the Lakers. Meanwhile, Bam Adebayo of the Heat, who recently posted an 83-point performance against the Wizards, was forced to sit out Tuesday’s game in Charlotte due to right calf tightness.#warriors #nba #joel_embiid #paul_george #celtics
