  • Kai Jones C | DAL

    Kai Jones: Hits open market

    Jones (hamstring) became a free agent Monday after his 10-day contract with the 76ers expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    The 76ers have the option of retaining Jones on a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if the organization has any desire to do so while he's still recovering from a right hamstring strain. The injury prevented him from playing with the 76ers at any point during his initial 10-day deal, but he likely wouldn't have been featured in head coach Nick Nurse's rotation even if he had been healthy.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Pulls down double-double Sunday

    Gobert racked up 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block across 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over the Warriors.

    It's the veteran center's 45th double-double of the season. Gobert has missed four of the last seven games with a rib injury, but he's still pulled down double-digit rebounds in all eight March contests he's been able to suit up for. He's averaged 14.0 points, 14.5 boards, 2.4 blocks, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals on the month while shooting 66.2 percent from the floor.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Double-double against Golden State

    Reid had 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 victory over the Warriors.

    The 12 boards tied his season high as Reid recorded his fourth double-double of the campaign. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined, Reid has started five of his last six games and averaged 18.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.3 threes, 2.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent (20-for-44) from beyond the arc.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Brutal shooting night Sunday

    Holmgren had six points (1-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and four rebounds over 25 minutes during Sunday's 118-93 loss to the Bucks.

    The 21-year-old center couldn't get anything going against Brook Lopez and the Milwaukee frontcourt, leading to Holmgren's worst scoring performance since he managed only four points against the Timberwolves on Jan. 29. He's been showing signs of fatigue toward the end of his first NBA season, scoring in single digits three times in the last eight games, and over that stretch, Holmgren has averaged 15.4 points, 8.6 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.4 threes.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Officially cleared to play

    Davis (Achilles) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

    Davis was probable for Sunday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him cleared to suit up once again. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 20.4 points, 14.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.2 steals and 2.0 blocks in 32.6 minutes per game.

  • Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Unlikely to suit up vs. Denver

    Clarke (Achilles) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

    Clarke continues to deal with an Achilles injury and will likely be unavailable again Monday, but it's encouraging that he's doubtful for the team's tilt against the Nuggets rather than being immediately ruled out. However, it's unclear whether the Grizzlies will bring him back before the end of the regular season.

  • Jazz's Omer Yurtseven: Listed as questionable for Monday

    Yurtseven (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Dallas.

    Yurtseven sat out Saturday's game against the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Monday. If he's available, Yurtseven is unlikely to see significant playing time.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Questionable for Monday

    Wembanyama is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns due to a left ankle sprain, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

    Wembanyama played just 21 minutes in Saturday's blowout loss to Phoenix and is dealing with an ankle issue ahead of Monday's rematch. If he's unavailable Monday, Zach Collins and Dominick Barlow are candidates to see increased playing time.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Top rebounder in double-double

    Wiseman accumulated 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-6 FT) and 11 rebounds over 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-101 loss to the Pelicans.

    Wiseman led all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds while ending as one of four Pistons with 15 or more points en route to posting the lone double-double of the game. Wiseman has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in four games this season, posting a double-double in three of those four contests. All three of Wiseman's double-double performances have taken place over the last 10 games.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Questionable for Monday

    Jokic (back/hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

    Jokic was unavailable Saturday against the Trail Blazers due to lower back pain and left hip inflammation, and it's unclear whether he'll be available Monday. If he remains sidelined, DeAndre Jordan could see increased playing time.
