Guard Cam Thomas is progressing but has no timeline for return, while C Ryan Kalkbrenner and F Matas Buzelis are both uncertain due to their respective injuries. P.J. Washington missed a game with foot soreness, leading to Jaden Hardy stepping up, and Cameron Johnson is expected to miss time due to a bone bruise.
