  • Al Horford C | GS

    Warriors' Al Horford: Iffy for Sunday

    Horford (left toe injury management) is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

    Golden State was previously scheduled to face the Timberwolves on Saturday and Monday, but Saturday's game was pushed back to Sunday, making it a back-to-back. Horford hasn't played in a back-to-back this season, and he may end up missing Sunday's contest for rest purposes.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Officially available

    Queta (illness) will play in Saturday's game against the Bulls, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    Queta was previously considered probable, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 26-year-old center is averaging 10.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals across 25.5 minutes per game in January.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Good to go Saturday

    Gafford (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Lakers.

    Gafford has officially been given the green light to return from a four-game absence. The center was previously considered probable. With Moussa Cisse (illness) out Saturday, Gafford and Dwight Powell will see most of the center work.

  • Moussa Cisse C | DAL

    Mavericks' Moussa Cisse: Officially out

    Cisse (illness) won't play in Saturday's game against the Lakers.

    Cisse was downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Saturday, so his absence was expected. With Daniel Gafford (ankle) healthy, the Mavericks will have enough bodies to man the center position. Cisse's next chance to play will come Sunday at Milwaukee.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Still out

    Hartenstein (calf) won't play in Sunday's game against Toronto.

    Hartenstein will miss a 15th consecutive game due to a strained right calf, and a timeline for his return has yet to be established. His absence has allowed Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams to see a bump in playing time.

  • Santi Aldama C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Won't play Sunday

    Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Nuggets.

    This will be Aldama's third consecutive game on the inactive list, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Monday's game in Houston. John Konchar, Vince Williams and GG Jackson will continue to pick up the slack in Aldama's absence.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Game-high 38 points in loss

    Embiid logged 38 points (13-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block over 36 minutes during the 76ers' 112-109 loss to the Knicks on Saturday.

    Embiid was particularly effective in the first half with 28 points and helped the 76ers close the gap in the fourth quarter with 10 points in the frame. The 2023-24 MVP has scored at least 30 points in four consecutive games, and his scoring output Sunday was his most in a game since Dec. 12 against the Pacers (39 points). Embiid has averaged 28.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 threes over 34.0 minutes per game since Jan. 1.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Not listed on injury report

    Claxton (pinky) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Clippers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

    Claxton hurt the pinky finger on his right hand during Friday's loss to the Celtics, but he was able to play through it, and it looks like he'll continue to do so Sunday. Claxton is averaging 12.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 swats per contest this season.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Questionable to play Sunday

    Kornet (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

    Kornet did not play in the Spurs' win over the Jazz on Thursday due to left adductor tightness, but he has a chance to return for Sunday's home contest. Kelly Olynyk would be in line for more minutes off the bench behind Victor Wembanyama if Kornet is unable to play.

  • Nuggets' Jonas Valanciunas: Questionable for Sunday

    Valanciunas (calf) is questionable to play Sunday in Memphis.

    Valanciunas returned from an 11-game layoff in a win over the Wizards on Thursday but then hit the sidelines for Friday's win in Milwaukee, with that game coming as the second leg of a back-to-back set. If he needs to miss Sunday's game in Memphis, that would indicate he suffered a setback, but we'll have a better idea on Valanciunas' status following shootaround.
