Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) won't be available for a seventh consecutive game on Tuesday against the Lakers, but The Athletic's James L. Edwards III has reported that he's starting to ramp up and will return immediately after the All-Star break. The Pistons restart the season following the festivities on Feb. 21, ironically in Indianapolis, which hosts the All-Star weekend. The news means Detroit will be without Stewart for two more games.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Chris Duarte (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Suns. Duarte injured his right ankle during pre-game warm-ups last Wednesday and was set to miss at least one week of action. However, he apparently has recovered quicker than expected and could be an option on Tuesday. With that said, Duarte has logged only six minutes of action in 2024 and isn't a big part of what Sacramento tries to do, so his status doesn't affect fantasy basketball.

Portland Trail Blazers center Duop Reath (knee) looks ready to return to the court on Tuesday versus Minnesota, as the team has listed him as probable for the game. The 27-year-old rookie has been sidelined for two games with a right knee problem. Reath has done well for the Trail Blazers in 2023-24. However, with Deandre Ayton back in the fold, it's going to be difficult for him to provide value to fantasy managers. Tuesday's matchup is also uncomfortable for Portland's bigs - only three teams have allowed fewer points to centers this season, and the Timberwolves are giving up the fewest rebounds per 48 minutes to the position.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) exited Sunday's meeting with the Boston Celtics and didn't return. Unfortunately, the Heat didn't receive a positive update on his health, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting he suffered a dislocated right shoulder. The 30-year-old appeared in 43 games for Miami this season, averaging 9.9 points and shooting 34.7% from deep. While those numbers aren't terrible, they aren't enough to give him fantasy appeal in most formats. At any rate, Richardson will be re-evaluated in a few weeks. But until he's back in the lineup, Duncan Robinson (shoulder, elbow) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. could see more minutes.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dyson Daniels (knee) is out indefinitely. The 2022 No. 8 overall pick has received routine playing time with the Pelicans this season. He's appeared in 52 games, starting 15, averaging 5.5 points and 3.7 rebounds. Although Daniels isn't the most productive offensive option, he's logged 1.4 steals per game, much to the delight of category participants. Nonetheless, several treatment options are being considered, so his outlook for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign will remain a mystery until the team provides an update on his health. Hopefully, fantasy managers won't need to wait long for that.
