Suspended: none
Out: Nick Hagglund (chest), Yuya Kubo (hamstring)
Questionable: none
On Loan: Álvaro Barreal (Santos)
International duty: none
BDS Notes:
If you are keeping score at home, the injury report is down to one main player now as Sebastian Lletget is now officially off the list for the first time in a little over a month.
Will he be available tomorrow in Ohio? Possibly, I would estimate if he is in the 18 on Wednesday night that we'll see limited minutes for him off the bench. The same type of program that players like Petar Musa, Paxton Pomykal and others have been on as of late when returning from injuries.
That leaves Leo Chu as the lone player not on the season-ending list. Right now, it looks like we won't see him back until sometime in June. With upcoming breaks in the schedule, that may be for the best.
Cincinnati on the other hand has a pair of injuries that they're dealing with, including defender Nick Hagglund's lung/rib injury that he picked up on Sunday evening in Atlanta.

2 Newman isn't officially on the club's SEI list but he's technically going to be out for the rest of the year as he recovers from an ACL surgery.
