  • Jusuf Nurkic C | UTA

    Jazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Double-double in Sunday's loss

    Nurkic finished Sunday's 107-100 loss to Toronto with 11 points (3-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 33 minutes.

    It wasn't an efficient scoring night for Nurkic in his return after missing Friday's game due to an illness, but he managed to reach double digits and led the Jazz in rebounds en route to his 15th double-double of the season and a season-high three blocks. He has averaged 15.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.0 threes and 1.0 blocks over 29.8 minutes per game over his last six outings.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Slated to play Sunday

    Jokic (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Jokic was previously listed as probable while managing a left knee bone bruise and will suit up Sunday as expected. After missing 16 games due to his knee injury, the superstar returned Friday with a strong showing, totaling 31 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 25 minutes in a win over the Clippers.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Cleared to play Sunday

    Wembanyama (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Magic, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

    Wembanyama carried a questionable tag due to left calf soreness but will suit up Sunday for the second leg of the Spurs' back-to-back. Over his past 10 outings, the 22-year-old star is averaging 24.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.6 assists in 28.8 minutes per game.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Listed as probable for Monday

    Embiid (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

    Embiid is listed on the injury report due to right ankle injury management but carries a probable tag, signaling optimism he'll suit up Monday. The big man has been on a tear lately, averaging 30.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists while shooting 51.8 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from beyond the arc over his past 10 appearances.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Available for Sunday

    Williams (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

    Williams was previously listed as questionable due to left knee injury management but will shed the designation and suit up Sunday. Over his past 10 appearances, the big man is averaging 5.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 assists in 16.4 minutes per contest, all in a reserve role.

  • Santi Aldama C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Sitting out Monday

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

    Aldama will miss his fourth straight game while tending to a right knee injury. His continued absence should keep additional frontcourt opportunities available for Vince Williams and Jock Landale. Aldama's next chance to return will come Wednesday against the Kings.

  • Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Starting sans Sarr

    Bagley will start Sunday's game against the Kings.

    With Alex Sarr (calf) unavailable, Bagley will get the starting nod for the first time since Dec. 14 in his return from a five-game absence due to a back injury and an illness. As a starter this season (seven games), the big man has averaged 13.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks in 28.0 minutes per tilt.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Won't play Sunday

    Sabonis (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

    Sabonis will miss a second straight game after being a late addition to the injury report due to a nagging back injury. Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell are candidates for increasing roles with Sabonis sidelined.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Ruled out Sunday

    Sarr (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.

    Sarr will miss his first game since Dec. 21 due to right calf soreness. Over the past 15 contests, the 20-year-old is averaging 17.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 blocks while shooting 49.3 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from three. His absence opens the door for Marvin Bagley (back) to enter the starting lineup in his first game back from a five-game absence. Sarr's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Knicks.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Late addition to injury report

    Sabonis (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

    Sabonis was an extremely late addition to the injury report due to lower-back soreness, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. If the veteran center isn't cleared to play, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell would be candidates for increased playing time.
