Cleveland Cavaliers center Ante Zizic has his status up in the air for Wednesday’s contest versus the Brooklyn Nets due to lower back soreness.

Washington Wizards point guard Tomas Satoransky has his status for Wednesday’s contest versus the Toronto Raptors up in the air after missing Monday due to the birth of his child.
