Wednesday's NBA Injury News
There are some notable names who will be missing on Wednesday's 10-game NBA slate. The Houston Rockets will be without John Wall when they face the Oklahoma City Thunder on the front end of a back-to-back. Wall frequently sits in this games as he continues to recover from his Achilles injury.
On the other side of that matchup, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is also sidelined with a sprained knee while George Hill is expected to miss extended time after undergoing thumb surgery Tuesday.
The Cavaliers hope to get Andre Drummond back in the lineup for their game against the visiting Los Angeles Clippers. Drummond is listed questionable for Wednesday after missing the previous game due to a sore low back and can use the size with Larry Nance Jr. sidelined for a wrist injury.
The San Antonio Spurs announced that LaMarcus Aldridge has been ruled out of Wednesday's game due to a right hip flexor. Aldridge hasn't missed a game since early January, but his minutes were already down this season.
Russell Westbrook is expected to rest when the Washington Wizards head to Miami for the second leg of their back-to-back. The Boston Celtics are expected to rest Kemba Walker as well as they head to Sacramento for the second leg of a back-to-back on the West coast.
