Orlando Magic guard/forward Jamal Cain (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Utah Jazz due to a left shoulder contusion. Cain started Tuesday against Sacramento and finished with five points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 20 minutes. The 27-year-old is averaging 7.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in 19.6 minutes through 10 games. With Tristan da Silva (calf) also sidelined, two-way forward Alex Morales will make his first career NBA start and should have a chance to build on the 29 minutes he logged Tuesday.

Orlando Magic forward Tristan da Silva (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Utah Jazz due to a left calf strain, marking his second straight absence. The 25-year-old is averaging 15.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.6 threes in 30.6 minutes while shooting 40.0% from deep this season. With Paolo Banchero (ankle) also sidelined, Franz Wagner should continue to carry a heavy offensive workload. Alex Morales could also stay involved after giving Orlando 29 productive minutes off the bench Tuesday against Sacramento.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (thumb) has been cleared to play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets despite a torn UCL in his left thumb, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater. Richard opted to play through the injury rather than undergo surgery and will wear a splint after testing it during shootaround. The 23-year-old missed only one game and has made two starts this season, including a 10-point effort on 4-for-6 shooting against Miami. With Gary Payton II (knee) and Brandon Williams (hamstring) sidelined, Richard could step right back into a meaningful backcourt role.

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) is available for Wednesday's matchup with the Orlando Magic after missing Tuesday's loss to Miami with a right ankle sprain. The 23-year-old is averaging 21.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists while shooting 44.9% through 10 games. With Lauri Markkanen (hand) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) sidelined, George should step right back into a major offensive role. Darryn Peterson scored 25 points in his first start at point guard Tuesday, but George's return should take some of the primary ball-handling work off the rookie's plate.
