NBA Player News

Sharpe is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Hawks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Sharpe will head back to the second unit due to Nic Claxton (ankle) returning from a three-game absence, so Sharpe's value will take a hit. As a reserve this season, Sharpe owns averages of 8.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Richards is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to right foot soreness.

Richards could hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, which might open up some additional minutes for Guerschon Yabusele and Patrick Williams. Check back closer to tipoff for official word on Richards' status.

Robinson (ankle) is out for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Sunday's game will be the second of a back-to-back set, so Robinson will get his standard maintenance day, which could lead to more minutes for Jeremy Sochan. Robinson will likely return for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

Embiid (knee/shin) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

This will be Embiid's fifth consecutive game on the sidelines, and given there haven't been any reports of the big man practicing, he should be considered highly questionable for Tuesday's game in Indiana. Adem Bona, Andre Drummond and Dominick Barlow will help pick up the slack with Embiid unavailable.

Turner (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Turner missed the Bucks' last two games while recovering from a right calf strain. The veteran center has been cleared to return Sunday, which will likely result in Jericho Sims reverting to a bench role against Toronto. Turner has averaged 10.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals over 27.2 minutes per game since Feb. 1.

Porzingis (illness) won't play Sunday versus the Nuggets and his status for the Warriors' upcoming two-game road trip is uncertain, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Porzingis woke up feeling very sick Sunday morning and he won't be in attendance for Sunday's game. Head coach Steve Kerr was noncommittal when asked about his status for the upcoming two-game road trip, and with those contests coming in a back-to-back set, Porzingis could miss at least one more game. His absence will open up minutes for Gui Santos, Al Horford and Quinten Post.

Reid is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers due to a right shoulder injury.

Reid may have picked up the injury during the Timberwolves' 122-111 win over the Mavericks on Friday, when he posted 21 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes. He would likely start Sunday given the absence of Rudy Gobert (suspension), but if Reid is unable to play, then Joan Beringer could enter Minnesota's starting five against Philadelphia.

Porzingis has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game due to an illness.

Porzingis isn't feeling 100 percent and will likely need to get through his pregame routine before an official decision is made on his status for Sunday's game. If he's out, that will open up more minutes for Gui Santos, Al Horford and Quinten Post.

Ware had 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 15 rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 136-120 win over the Grizzlies.

Ware put together another highly efficient performance that even included a three-pointer in the Heat's high-scoring win. He now has back-to-back double-doubles while coming off the bench since play resumed following the All-Star break.

Knicks head coach Mike Brown said that Robinson (ankle) will likely be sidelined for Sunday's game against the Bulls due to left ankle injury management, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Robinson handled his usual role as the Knicks' backup center in Saturday's 108-106 win over the Rockets, finishing with six points (3-5 FG) and four rebounds over 17 minutes. The 27-year-old has yet to play both ends of a back-to-back set this season, and the Knicks appear to be leaning toward resting him Sunday. Assuming Robinson ends up sitting out, Ariel Hukporti will likely step in as the top backup to Karl-Anthony Towns.
