Collins (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Collins is set to miss a fourth consecutive game due to back spasms, meaning the Jazz will remain depleted in the frontcourt since Walker Kessler (nose) is out as well. Omer Yurtseven is likely to draw a second straight start and take on most of the minutes at center.

Bamba (illness) won't play Saturday against Memphis, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bamba's status won't have a big impact in fantasy hoops, as Joel Embiid (knee) is good to go. Bamba should be considered questionable for Sunday against the Spurs.

Embiid (knee) is available and will play Saturday against the Grizzlies, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid went through his regular routine in shootaround and looked unscathed, so he should be able to handle his regular workload in a favorable matchup against the Grizzlies. Embiid is averaging 26.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in his first two games since his return.

Wiseman is in the starting lineup to face the Nets on Saturday.

Wiseman will get the nod at center with Jalen Duren (ankle) sidelined. Given the lack of depth in the frontcourt, look for Wiseman to play heavy minutes while matching up with Nic Claxton on both ends of the court. Wiseman is averaging 17.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in three starts this season.

Duren (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Nets, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Duren was a late addition to the injury report Saturday, and he'll end up being sidelined to face the Nets. James Wiseman is expected to get the start at center with Duren out.

Clarke (rest) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers, according to Memphis reporter KJ Wright.

Clarke was held out for rest Friday against the Pistons, but he's officially back in action Saturday. The forward is averaging 12.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks through four games.

Holmes (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Holmes is in jeopardy of missing his sixth straight game Sunday. If he's unable to suit up, the Wizards will likely turn to Tristan Vukcevic and Eugene Omoruyi again.

Kleber (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets.

Kleber sat out Friday against the Warriors, marking his first missed game since Feb. 28. He's considered day-to-day, however, and could return to the lineup Sunday if he makes it through shootaround and warmups without any setbacks.

Badji (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Celtics.

Badji is in danger of missing his second straight contest Sunday due to lower back soreness. However, Badji receives inconsistent playing time even when available.

Richards (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Thunder.

Richards is in danger of missing his fourth straight contest Sunday due to right foot plantar fascia discomfort. Grant Williams will likely draw another start if Richards is ruled out yet again.
