Won't play Monday Hartenstein (calf) is out for Monday's game versus the Nuggets.

Impact This will be Hartenstein's second straight game on the sidelines, and it's not encouraging that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff. For now, he can be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Celtics. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams will help pick up the slack in Hartenstein's absence.

Hartenstein will finish with five rebounds, two assists and one turnover across 17 scoreless minutes, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

Sitting out Thursday Hartenstein (rest) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Nears double-double in win Hartenstein racked up 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in 22 minutes during Monday's 119-110 win over the Lakers.

The veteran's numbers have been pedestrian since his return to action, averaging only 8.2 points and 7.4 rebounds over five games. Interestingly, the big man saw a sharp increase in assists after the return. His five-game average of 6.0 assists is well above his usual results in the category.
