Bagley exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Friday's game against Portland due to an apparent left shoulder issue, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Bagley was seen getting his shoulder examined on the bench and eventually exited to the locker room. The big man should be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Jokic supplied 33 points (13-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 15 rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 39 minutes in Friday's 135-129 win over the Jazz.

Jokic turned in an extremely efficient performance and racked up his fourth straight triple-double. He also scored at least 20 points for a sixth consecutive contest. The superstar led Denver in points and rebounds while finishing second on the team in assists behind Jamal Murray (14 assists). Over his last four games, Jokic has averaged 25.3 points, 16.8 rebounds, 15.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 36.8 minutes per contest.

Allen (knee) racked up 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Friday's 149-128 victory over Miami.

Allen was given the green light to return Friday from a 10-game absence due to right knee tendinitis. He played just 18 minutes in his return, but he still co-led the Cavaliers in rebounds and finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Max Strus (29 points) and Evan Mobley (23 points). Allen should continue to operate under a minutes restriction while getting up to NBA-level shape and may sit for one game of back-to-back sets for the rest of the regular season.

Hayes won't start Friday's game against the Nets, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

With Deandre Ayton (back) returning to the lineup, Hayes will retreat to the second unit. The big man has averaged 5.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.0 blocks across 17.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Jackson won't return to Friday's game against Indiana due to a right ankle injury, Lauren Rosen of FanDuel Sports Network SoCal reports. He finished with four points (2-2 FG, 0-2 FT) and four rebounds across 14 minutes.

After exiting with 8:49 remaining in the fourth quarter to get his ankle evaluated, Jackson ended up being shut down for the remainder of the night. The Clippers should have another update regarding the severity of Jackson's injury after the game, but for now, his availability for Sunday's game in Milwaukee is up in the air.

Jackson exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Pacers due to an apparent right ankle injury, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Jackson appeared to tweak his right ankle before heading back to the locker room with 8:49 remaining in the final quarter. He should be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Williams (knee) is available for Friday's game against Dallas.

Williams drew the questionable tag for Friday's game due to a left knee injury, but the veteran center has been cleared to play against the Mavericks. He has averaged 7.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over 18.8 minutes per game across 13 outings since the All-Star break.

Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Williams will miss a 13th straight game due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot. The big man has yet to advance to 5-on-5 work, so he can be considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Grizzlies until Phoenix offers an update on his progress.

Jordan won't start Friday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jordan got the starting nod in Thursday's loss to Detroit but will slide to the second unit in favor of Yves Missi on Friday. Jordan recorded six straight DNP-CDs before Thursday's contest, so the veteran big man isn't guaranteed to see the court Friday.

Missi is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Missi will replace DeAndre Jordan in the starting lineup, and it'll be Jeremiah Fears, Herbert Jones, Saddiq Bey and Zion Williamson joining him in the first unit for Friday's game. Across 10 starts this season, Missi has posted averages of 6.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 swats per contest.
