NBA Player News

Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.

Aldama continues to be sidelined by a right knee injury that has prevented him from playing since Feb. 4 against the Kings. His next chance to suit up is Tuesday against the Sixers, but the fifth-year pro can be considered doubtful for that contest given the lack of a medical update from Memphis.

Bagley (neck) is available for Sunday's game in Toronto, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Bagley is set to return from a five-game absence, which could bump Dwight Powell from the rotation. Through seven games with the Mavericks, Bagley has put in averages of 13.0 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per contest.

Hayes will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Deandre Ayton (knee) is back and starting, so Hayes will return to a reserve role with the Lakers. In 45 games off the bench this season, Hayes has averaged 6.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

The Jazz signed Bamba to a second 10-day contract Sunday.

Bamba will get another look with the Jazz after his first 10-day contract expired Sunday. He appeared in two games over the course of his first deal, averaging 5.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks over 19.0 minutes per game. Bamba gives the Jazz additional depth at center behind Kyle Filipowski, Kevin Love and Oscar Tshiebwe.

Kleber (back) is available for Sunday's game versus the Knicks, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Kleber will be available after missing the past two games with a back issue, but with Deandre Ayton (knee) also set to return, Kleber might not be in the rotation. He's appeared in just 34 games for the Lakers this season, averaging 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds per game.

Toronto recalled Jackson-Davis from the G League's Raptors 905 on Saturday.

Jackson-Davis will be available for the Raptors' next game Sunday against the Mavericks after logging a double-double in a 30-minute appearance for the 905 on Friday. At the NBA level, Jackson-Davis is averaging 3.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.5 blocks in 10.4 per game this season between stops with Golden State and Toronto.

Bamba became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Jazz expired.

After signing his 10-day deal Feb. 26, Bamba appeared in two of the Jazz's ensuing six contests, averaging 5.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.0 minutes per game. Utah will have the ability to bring Bamba back on another 10-day pact or rest-of-season deal, though the Jazz could be content to proceed with Kyle Filipowski, Oscar Tshiebwe and Kevin Love as their options at center and instead reserve the open roster spot for a player at a different position.

Claxton chipped in two points (1-5 FG), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 win over the Pistons.

Claxton was invisible on the offensive end, going for a season-low two points. Although he was able to somewhat salvage his evening with three blocks, Claxton's overall production of late has been mostly underwhelming. In 10 appearances over the past month, he has been outside the top 200 in standard leagues, averaging 13.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 0.5 blocks during that stretch.

Portland recalled Hansen from the G League's Rip City Remix on Saturday.

Hansen appeared in Rip City's wins over the Valley Suns on Friday and Saturday, totaling 36 points and 18 rebounds in those two outings. He hasn't logged double-digit minutes for the parent club since Jan. 27, a trend that is likely to continue Sunday versus the Pacers.

The Warriors plan to rest Porzingis (illness) in Utah on Monday and have him available for Tuesday's game against Chicago, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports. He finished Saturday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder with nine points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block across 23 minutes.

Porzingis was expected to play 15-to-20 minutes in his return from a six-game absence due to an illness, though he saw increased playing time and led Golden State's second unit in points and assists. The Warriors are expected to hold the veteran center out of one game during their upcoming back-to-back set, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the club limit him in back-to-backs for the remainder of the season. It will also be worth monitoring whether his workload increases Tuesday.
