Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports that Philadelphia 76ers forwardKenyon Martin Jr. (trade pending) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 24-year-old Martin has missed the 76ers' last 21 contests due to a left-foot stress reaction. While he was listed as questionable earlier in the day on Tuesday, the Sixers appear to be holding him out of action, and he may be involved in a potential trade. Martin has lacked fantasy value this season when he's been available, posting 6.4 points and 3.0 rebounds during 20.0 minutes per game across 24 outings.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Tuesday's tilt against the Dallas Mavericks. He has sat out 21 straight games due to a foot problem but appears to be on the cusp of returning. The high-flying forward made four consecutive starts before landing on the shelf. However, he has actually been more productive coming off the bench. For the season overall, Martin Jr. has averaged 6.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 20.0 minutes. He lacks fantasy value, but the injury-hit 76ers will gladly welcome him back in the rotations. Justin Edwards and Ricky Council IV could lose minutes with Martin Jr. back in the mix.

According to Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah Jazz centerWalker Kessler(shoulder) is available for Thursday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man missed two straight games due to a left shoulder contusion. Kessler is averaging 11.3 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, shooting a career-high 73 percent from the floor. Utah has been shorthanded during the last few games, but John Collins (illness) will also return after three consecutive contests this evening.

Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribunereports that Utah Jazz forwardJohn Collins(illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Due to an illness, he's has been out of action for three straight contests. The 27-year-old could see his restricted in his return. However, with him coming back this evening, Micah Potter and Brice Sensabaugh's minutes on the floor will be reduced. Potter and Sensabaugh have taken on more significant roles while Collins was on the shelf.

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man is in danger of missing a third straight game due to a left shoulder contusion. The Jazz have been shorthanded over the last few games with John Collins (illness) also sidelined. That means, Drew Eubanks, Kyle Filipowski, and Brice Sensabaugh have all been asked to play bigger roles in the rotation. That might happen again with Kessler and Collins both listed as questionable. If they sit, Sensabaugh probably has the highest ceiling but all three could make for low-end streaming options.
