Alperen Sengun Won't Play On Saturday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) will miss Saturday's game in Atlanta. The 21-year-old is burdened by a back issue, and he played just 21 minutes in Friday's three-point loss to the Toronto Raptors.

Perhaps his current illness was the culprit. […]

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (groin) won't play on Thursday against the visiting Cavaliers. The former Sun is battling a groin strain, so he'll be sidelined for a second consecutive game.

Spencer Dinwiddie Still Available In Trade Talks

According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, guard Spencer Dinwiddie is the "most available" player on Brooklyn's roster. The 30-year-old was traded from the Mavericks ahead of the deadline last season and is currently making the second stop of his career in Brooklyn.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Tuesday's game in Phoenix. The multi-time MVP made another appearance on the injury report heading into this one.
