Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is active and says he will play Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Marcus Smart Won't Play on Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This was expected as Smart continues to deal with eye infections in both his eyes.
