Davis is probable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to left plantar fasciitis.

Davis has been a regular in the injury report, but the probable tag suggests he'll end up playing, as has been the case in recent weeks. The star big man is averaging 30.2 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game this season.

Jokic is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to personal reasons.

Jokic does not appear to be injured, though he is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season Friday. If the three-time MVP is unable to play, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan are both candidates for increased roles.

Allen (leg) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Bulls.

Allen continues to deal with a left lower leg strain but was able to suit up in Cleveland's previous outing against Philadelphia. Allen recorded 11 points, 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 32 minutes against the 76ers.

Zeller (personal) won't play in Friday's game versus the Wizards.

Zeller has yet to play for Atlanta this season due to personal reasons. Until the team releases an update on the veteran big man, he can be considered week-to-week.

Claxton is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Knicks due to lower back tightness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

It's unclear when Claxton suffered his back injury, but it could cause him to miss his first contest since Oct. 30. If Claxton is unable to suit up, Ben Simmons will likely draw the start at center against the Knicks.

Carter (foot) is out for Friday's game versus the 76ers.

Carter's absence streak will extend to seven games Friday due to left foot plantar fasciitis. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Phoenix.

Drummond (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Magic.

Drummond is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to an illness. With Joel Embiid back in the lineup, Guerschon Yabusele and Adem Bona could receive backup center minutes if Drummond is ruled out yet again.

Embiid (knee) is available for Friday's game versus the Magic.

Embiid will return to action Friday after sitting Philadelphia's previous contest due to left knee injury management. Embiid will likely operate on a minutes restriction, as he tallied 13 points, five assists, three rebounds and one block in 26 minutes during his only other appearance this season.

The Kings assigned Robinson (knee) to the Stockton Kings of the G League on Thursday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Robinson has yet to suit up this season while recovering from a left MCL sprain. However, he has been cleared for contact and is set to continue his rehab process in the G League.

Claxton finished Wednesday's 139-114 loss to the Celtics with three points (1-3 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes.

After logging at least 30 minutes in each of his last two outings, Claxton played just 24 minutes during Wednesday's blowout loss. The 25-year-old center also recorded his fewest rebounds since being inserted into Brooklyn's starting five.
