Sarr has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors due to right hamstring injury management.

The Wizards play the front end of their back-to-back set Monday. They will opt to rest Sarr as he manages a right hamstring injury that cost him 10 straight games earlier in the season, and the second-year center should be available to play against the Pistons on Tuesday. Tristan Vukcevic will likely start in Sarr's absence while Anthony Gill and Julian Reese both see more minutes off the bench.

Eubanks (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Utah.

Eubanks will end up sitting for both games of the Kings' back-to-back weekend set due to a sore left thumb, and he'll look to progress enough in his recovery to return for Tuesday's game against the Spurs. Dylan Cardwell will serve as the Kings' top backup center behind starter Maxime Raynaud in Eubanks' absence.

Sims is not in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Pacers on Sunday.

Sims made his 10th start of the season in Saturday's 122-99 loss to the Hawks, when he played 25 minutes and finished with seven points (2-2 FG, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist. The fifth-year big man will come off the bench for Sunday's matinee due to the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf).

Bagley will come off the bench for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

Daniel Gafford (illness) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game Sunday, but Bagley will still shift back to the second unit with Dallas rolling with P.J. Washington at center. Through 11 games with the Mavericks this season, Bagley owns averages of 10.4 points and 8.0 rebounds per game.

Zubac (ankle) will play Sunday against the Bucks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Zubac is set to play in his third consecutive game, and it'll be interesting to see if his playing time continues to rise. He logged 29 minutes during Friday's loss to the Knicks and finished with 11 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two turnovers.

Gafford (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

As expected, Gafford has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second consecutive game. His absence Friday came during the second night of a back-to-back set, but now the big man is under the weather. His status for Monday's game in New Orleans is also in jeopardy. Marvin Bagley should continue to handle an increased role until Gafford is cleared to suit up again.

Turner (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Turner drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game due to right patella tendinitis, but the veteran center has been given the green light to play in the second leg of the Bucks' back-to-back set. He's failed to score in double digits in seven of his last eight outings, and over that span he has connected on just 37.1 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Drummond (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Drummond has missed the past three games for the 76ers, but he could be ready to make his return Sunday. Joel Embiid (oblique) will remain out, and if Adem Bona (back) -- who is also listed questionable -- is unable to play, Drummond could be in line for quality minutes if cleared to play against Portland.

Hartenstein (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

Hartenstein has been cleared to return from a three-game absence due to a left calf contusion, which will result in reduced roles for the likes of Jaylin Williams and Aaron Wiggins. Hartenstein has appeared in 11 of the Thunder's 18 games since Feb. 1, and over that span he has averaged 8.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 0.9 blocks over 23.0 minutes per game.

Cardwell (ankle) recorded zero points (0-1 FG), six rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes during Saturday's 118-109 win over the Clippers.

Cardwell returned Saturday following an 11-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. After averaging 22.5 minutes per game in his final 26 appearances prior to the All-Star break, Cardwell had his playing time monitored carefully in his first appearance of the second half. He should see his minutes steadily increase as he works his way back to full conditioning.
