NBA Player News

Gobert (ankle) is starting Sunday's game against the Rockets.

Gobert was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he'll be able to take the floor once again despite his ankle injury. He was also cleared to suit up Friday against Orlando despite a questionable tag, and he totaled 22 points, 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 39 minutes.

Landale (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Landale found himself on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game due to a right wrist bruise, but he will be able to play through it. The 28-year-old pro has not appeared in the last three games but could crack the rotation in a limited fashion Sunday to match up with Minnesota's size.

Allen is questionable to play Monday versus Brooklyn due to a left ankle sprain, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Allen was listed as questionable ahead of the Cavaliers' last game Saturday with the same injury, but he proceeded to suit up and recorded 26 points and 16 rebounds over 31 minutes in a 117-101 win over the Spurs. The Cavaliers haven't indicated that the 25 year-old suffered a setback coming out of Saturday's contest, but his status for Monday's game will still warrant monitoring leading up to the 7 p.m. ET tipoff.

Jemison will start Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Jemison, who's operating under a 10-day deal, will make his first career NBA start for the depleted Grizzlies. On Thursday, Jemison posted five points, three rebounds and one block in 14 minutes, but he figures to see an increased role versus Boston.

Horford is starting Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

The Celtics will be playing without Jaylen Brown (back) on Sunday, so Horford will draw the start against Memphis. Over 19 starts this season, Horford has averaged 8.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 31.1 minutes per game.

Jackson won't start Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Jackson made a spot start Friday and played well, posting 10 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes. However, he'll return to a bench role, as Myles Turner (ankle) has been cleared to suit up. Jalen Smith (back) is also available, so there won't be many minutes open for Jackson on Sunday.

Zubac (calf) is active and will start Sunday's game against Miami, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Zubac's initial recovery timeline called for him to be re-evaluated in mid-February, but the big man will return to action threes weeks removed from being diagnosed with a serious right calf strain. Although he is in the starting lineup, it's unclear if he will face any type of minutes restriction Sunday. Zubac is averaging 12.4 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 27.1 minutes per game this season, and his return will send Mason Plumlee to a bench role.

Plumlee won't start Sunday's game against the Heat, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

Plumlee's streak of starts will end at eight, as Ivica Zubac (calf) has been cleared to return from a multi-week absence. As a starter, Plumlee averaged 7.9 points and 7.4 rebounds in 21.9 minutes per game, but he figures to see a reduced workload moving forward.

Turner (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Turner missed the second half of a back-to-back set Friday but will shake off a questionable tag and return to action Sunday. It's been a struggle for the big man recently, averaging just 9.0 points on 36.7 percent shooting over his past three appearances, but the extra time off may help him bounce back versus a depleted Hornets squad.

Kornet (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against Memphis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

As expected, Kornet will shake off a probable tag and suit up Sunday, ending a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Before he was sidelined, the backup big man played at least 18 minutes in four straight games, averaging 8.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 19.8 minutes during that stretch.
