Darius Garland Exits Early Wednesday With Foot Injury
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (foot) missed the end of Wednesday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers due to injury, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Garland hurt his right foot during the third quarter. Despite his early exit, Garland finished the game as one of Cleveland's top scorers. He had 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting, adding seven assists and grabbing three rebounds. If Garland misses additional time, Donovan Mitchell will have an increased role as a playmaker, while Craig Porter Jr. and Lonzo Ball are expected to see their minutes rise.

Jalen Suggs to Miss Sixth Straight Game Thursday
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) won't be in action in Berlin, Germany, against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday. He continues to recover from a right MCL contusion, missing his sixth straight game. Anthony Black will continue to carry additional fantasy value on Thursday, though his role on offense could change with the imminent return of Franz Wagner (ankle). Still, with back-to-back 20-point games under his belt, Black has plenty of fantasy appeal.

Wendell Carter Jr. Cleared to Play in Berlin
Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The two teams clash in Berlin, Germany, after Carter Jr. missed Sunday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans due to a hip problem. Goga Bitadze started in Carter Jr's place on Sunday and notched a 14-point, 13-rebound double-double. Sunday also brought the season debut of Moritz Wagner, adding more frontcourt depth for the Magic. However, with Carter Jr. back in the fold, Bitadze and Wagner are likely to see fewer minutes in Berlin.

Deni Avdija Likely to Remain Out Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Deni Avdija (back) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, meaning he is likely to miss a second consecutive game. The Israeli talent was forced to exit the lineup earlier this week after suffering a back injury in Sunday's loss to the New York Knicks. With Avdija absent on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors, Caleb Love stepped into the starting lineup. Love has recently built up a lot of positive momentum and will be an appealing fantasy option on Thursday.
