NBA Player News

Clarke (hand) is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Clarke spent most of the season recovering from an Achilles injury, and while he made his season debut on March 27, he won't play in the final game of the campaign due to a contusion. The Grizzlies won't risk Clarke in a meaningless game, as the team has been out of playoff contention for quite some time now. Clarke ends the 2023-24 season with averages of 11.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks across 22.3 minutes per game in six appearances (one start).

Williams re-signed Saturday with the Raptors on a second 10-day contract, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Williams' initial 10-day deal expired earlier Saturday, but he quickly reached agreement with Toronto on a new deal to ensure that he'll be available for Sunday's season finale in Miami. Over the course of his first week and a half in the NBA, Williams appeared in six games (two starts) and averaged 2.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 15.8 minutes per contest. He'll likely serve as the top backup to starting center Kelly Olynyk on Sunday.

Jokic (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

Jokic has been bothered by his hip for weeks and has been a regular on the injury report, but if he's held out Sunday, it would likely be as a precaution.

Bagley (knee) will not play Sunday against the Celtics.

Bagley has missed Washington's past five games and will be unable to return for the season finale. In 24 appearances for the Wizards, Bagley produced averages of 13.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks.

Holmes (toe) is questionable for Sunday against the Celtics.

Holmes has missed the past eight games for Washington, but he remains day-to-day. Washington's frontcourt depth is in shambles, as Marvin Bagley (knee) is out and Tristan Vukcevic (ankle) is now questionable.

Wembanyama won't play in Sunday's game versus the Pistons due to right ankle injury management.

Wembanyama will be held out of San Antonio's regular-season finale due to a left ankle injury that he has been battling all season. The rookie phenom is practically a guarantee to win Rookie of the Year after a historic campaign. Wembanyama will end 2023-24 averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, a league-best 3.6 blocks and 1.2 steals in 29.7 minutes across 71 appearances.

Jackson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Jackson remains day-to-day with his hamstring strain. Jalen Smith, who is currently the backup center in front of Jackson, is also questionable with a left ankle sprain.

Collins is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs with a left thumb contusion, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

This sounds like a minor issue for Collins, but the Spurs may exercise caution for the season finale. If Collins is able to play, there would be a lot of usage up for grabs with Victor Wembanyama (ankle) sidelined.

Richards (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Richards has missed four of the Hornets' last seven games due to a nagging right foot plantar fascia issue, and it's unclear whether he'll suit up for the season finale after being ruled out Friday. If he's out, the Hornets would be extremely shorthanded in the frontcourt, as Grant Williams (ankle) is also questionable while Mark Williams (back) is out.

Horford (rest) will not play Sunday against the Wizards.

The Celtics are resting Horford along with their five usual starters Sunday as they rest up for the postseason. Luke Kornet could be a busy man in the frontcourt as a result.
