  • Jazz's Omer Yurtseven: Gets green light

    Yurtseven (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

    Yurtseven will return to action Monday after missing Saturday's loss to the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain. However, Utah is at full strength, save for Kris Dunn (suspension), so it's unclear how big of a role Yurtseven will have off the bench.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Sitting out Monday

    Wembanyama (ankle) won't play Monday against the Suns.

    Wembanyama participated in portions of Monday's shootaround, which suggests that his left ankle sprain is minor, but it's not a surprise to see the Spurs err on the side of caution and hold the prized rookie out while he's less than 100 percent. In Wembanyama's absence, the Spurs will likely move Zach Collins into the starting five and insert Dominick Barlow into the rotation as their backup center.

  • Taj Gibson PF | MEM

    Pistons' Taj Gibson: Out Monday

    Gibson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

    Gibson has made just one appearance for the Pistons since signing in mid-March. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Minnesota, but even when he's healthy, the veteran likely won't see many minutes.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Remains out Monday

    Duren (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

    Duren will miss a third straight game due to low back spasms, so James Wiseman should draw another start at center. Duren's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Minnesota.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: At shootaround, iffy for Monday

    Wembanyama (ankle) took part in the Spurs' morning shootaround but remains questionable for Monday's game against the Suns, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

    Wembanyama wasn't present during the portion of practice open to the media, but he was apparently able to do some shooting behind closed doors. His status for Monday's game remains unchanged, and official word on his status might not arrive until closer to the 8 p.m. ET tipoff. Zach Collins will likely start at center if Wembanyama can't go.

  • Bam Adebayo PF | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Grabs 16 rebounds

    Adebayo accumulated 15 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and five steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 121-84 victory over the Cavaliers.

    Adebayo has recorded six double-doubles across his last seven appearances, and his role as a key two-way figure for the Heat is not under any question at the moment, with a solid argument to be made that he's overtaking Jimmy Butler as the go-to player on offense at times. Adebayo is averaging 17.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game since the All-Star break.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Plays 22 minutes Sunday

    Allen contributed nine points (3-7 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Sunday's 121-84 loss to the Heat.

    Allen only logged 22 minutes due to the nature of the blowout loss. To say that the Cavaliers have been struggling badly on offense without Donovan Mitchell (nose) would be an understatement at this point, but Sunday's performance was a new low for them, as they failed to reach the 90-point plateau for the first time in the entire campaign. Look for Allen to handle his regular workload when the Cavs take on the Hornets on Monday.

  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Active at both ends Sunday

    Zubac chipped in 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 29 minutes during Sunday's 121-107 loss to Philadelphia.

    Zubac recorded his first double-double since Feb. 23, but the big man had been close to achieving that feat in his previous appearances. A solid two-way contributor who can produce value despite holding a lesser role in the Clippers' offensive scheme, Zubac is averaging 9.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 blocks per contest since the beginning of March.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Not present for shootaround

    Wembanyama (ankle), who is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns, wasn't at the portion of the Spurs' morning shootaround open to the media, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

    Wembanyama is dealing with a left ankle sprain following Saturday's blowout loss to Phoenix, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Monday's rematch. Zach Collins and Dominick Barlow could see increased playing time if Wembanyama sits out.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Explodes for 36/16 double-double

    Davis amassed 36 points (15-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 150-145 victory over the Pacers.

    The Lakers' 150 points marked their highest total since 1987. Davis was critical in the final minutes as the Pacers mounted an inspired comeback. Although saddled with an Achilles injury, Davis played 40 minutes and notched his third consecutive double-double.
