Memphis, TN

Morant is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to soreness in his right thigh. It looks like Morant will be skipping the first leg of Memphis' upcoming Tuesday-Wednesday, back-to-back set, which will presumably result in another start for Tyus Jones and more usage for Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks. Morant managers should check back closer to Tuesday's 8:00 p.m. ET tip for official word on his status.

Denver, CO

Jokic (calf) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans. Jokic lands on the injury report for the first half of a back-to-back set. The MVP candidate has played both halves of the Nuggets' past two back-to-backs, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Denver give Jokic a night off to keep him fresh for the playoffs. If Jokic is sidelined, Zeke Nnaji and Thomas Bryant would be candidates for increased minutes, but Jamal Murray and Michael Porter would presumably be asked to handle the majority of the playmaking opportunities.

Duke wing Dariq Whitehead declared for the 2023 NBA Draft on Wednesday after developing into a knockdown 3-point shooter for the Blue Devils during his freshman season. Whitehead was absent for the beginning of the campaign because of a foot fracture and missed time during the heart of ACC play because of a lower-leg injury. But, when healthy, Whitehead offered glimpses of what made him a five-star prospect in the Class of 2022.

Zegras (lower body) will travel with the Ducks to Seattle ahead of Thursday's contest versus the Kraken, per Lisa Dillman of The Orange County Register.

Zegras has 22 goals and 59 points in 74 outings this season.

Coulombe was going to come up short in his bid for a bullpen spot with the Twins, but he's been given a reprieve with the O's trading for him and promptly adding him to their relief corps. The veteran left-hander holds a 2.92 ERA over 41 appearances over the last three seasons.

Cincinnati, OH

Smith agreed to a one-year contract with Cincinnati on Monday, Peter Schrager of NFL Network reports. Smith appeared in eight games a season ago with Minnesota and finished with 25 catches for 182 yards and a pair of scores.

Cardinals manager Oli Marmol confirmed Wednesday that Walker will be in the Opening Day lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. Marmol's announcement comes as no surprise after the 20-year-old top prospect was informed Saturday he had made the 26-man major-league roster. Walker will start in one corner-outfield spot Thursday, with Lars Nootbaar covering the other. Tyler O'Neill or Dylan Carlson will patrol center field.

North Carolina State

Chapel Hill, NC

Junior guard Caleb Love, North Carolina's leading scorer this season, has decided to enter the transfer portal. Love, who averaged 16.7 points per game, helped lead the Tar Heels to a 20-13 (11-9 ACC) record as they failed to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010. UNC already has a possible lineup replacement, though, as Brown guard Paxson Wojcik announced his commitment shortly after Love's decision.
