Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (personal) has rejoined the team and will play on Monday against Toronto. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed the news after Wiggins practiced on Sunday. Wiggins struggled in his last outing, producing nine points on 4-for-10 shooting against Miami, so having some time off might have even benefited him. Matchups against his hometown team have always gone well for Wiggins, who has averaged 20.9 points for his career against the Raptors. He has notched more points only against Sacramento.


Toronto Raptors guard Davion Mitchell (calf) will be active against Cleveland on Thursday. He has been upgraded from probable to available. Mitchell has not been part of the regular rotation lately but might have a role on Thursday due to the absences of Ochai Agbaji (back) and Bruce Brown (knee). However, it's unlikely that Mitchell will log enough minutes to warrant a spot on fantasy squads.


Toronto Raptors guard Davion Mitchell is expected to play through a left calf contusion on Thursday when the Raptors visit the Cavaliers. Mitchell played less than a minute on Wednesday against the Knicks but could get more time on Thursday since Ochai Agbaji (hip) has been ruled out. Mitchell was forced to step into a large role earlier this season while Immanuel Quickley, Scottie Barnes, and RJ Barrett battled various injuries. He has played a more reduced role lately, averaging just over 20 minutes in his 12 games since December 1 even before Wednesday's early departure. While he focuses on the defensive end of the court, Mitchell can be a solid source of steals and assists for deep leagues if he gets playing time on Thursday.


Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (personal) was ruled out on Thursday, leaving the Warriors potentially extremely short-handed for their road game against the Pistons. Steph Curry (knee), Draymond Green (ankle), Dennis Schrder (hip), and Moses Moody (knee) remain questionable while Jonathan Kuminga (ankle), Brandin Podziemski (abdomen), and Gary Payton (calf) have already been ruled out in addition to Wiggins. Draymond Green will have a big role if available, but if he sits, Trayce Jackson-Davis could have to play more power forward with Kevon Looney at center. Kyle Anderson will also step into a larger role without Wiggins and Kuminga, and Lindy Waters III and Buddy Hield may have to carry more of the workload as well, depending on who is available in the backcourt.


Miami Heat center Kevin Love (personal) will not play on Thursday against the Utah Jazz. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out due to personal reasons. The specific nature of the personal issue has not been disclosed. This season, Love has averaged 5.9 points per game, along with 4.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists. It remains to be seen when he will be back in the lineup for the Heat. This means more work for Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic moving forward.
