  • Steven Adams C | HOU

    Rockets' Steven Adams: Sitting out against Portland

    Adams (knee) is out for Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

    Adams will miss Saturday's contest due to it being the second leg of a back-to-back set. Jock Landale will likely once again operate as Houston's backup center to Alperen Sengun. Adams should be able to return to action for Tuesday's matchup with Minnesota.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Resting Saturday

    Williams (rest) won't play in Saturday's game against the Rockets.

    Williams will get the night off Saturday as the Trail Blazers complete a back-to-back set against Houston. Williams has appeared in six games this season, averaging 10.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.9 combined steals-plus-blocks. He should be expected to play Monday at Memphis.

  • Trail Blazers' Deandre Ayton: Unlikely to play Saturday

    Ayton (finger) is doubtful for Saturday's game versus the Rockets.

    Ayton's absence streak will likely extend to six games Saturday due to a sprained right finger. If Ayton is ultimately ruled out, Donovan Clingan should draw another start.

  • Liam Robbins C | MIL

    Bucks' Liam Robbins: Likely to play Saturday

    Robbins (heel) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Charlotte.

    Robbins missed the Bucks' previous game due to a bruised left heel, but he's expected to be available Saturday. Robbins' availability shouldn't have much of an impact on Milwaukee's rotation.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Now expected to play Saturday

    Wembanyama (knee) is deemed probable for Saturday's game versus the Warriors, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

    Wembanyama has been upgraded from questionable to probable Saturday after missing San Antonio's last three outings due to a right knee injury. If the star big man is further upgraded to available, he will likely reclaim his starting spot from Zach Collins.

  • Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Close to double-double in win

    Jackson-Davis closed Friday's 112-108 victory over the Pelicans with nine points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one block over 18 minutes.

    Jackson-Davis doesn't have a prominent role in the Warriors' offensive scheme, but the big man is doing more than enough to justify his place in the starting unit over Kevon Looney. He finished just one point and two boards away from grabbing what would've been his second double-double of the season. The big man is averaging 9.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and a combined 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in his last five contests.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Goes through shootaround

    Wembanyama (knee) participated in shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Warriors, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

    Wembanyama is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest after missing San Antonio's last three outings. However, the star 20-year-old is reportedly doing everything he can to suit up against Golden State.

  • Thunder's Branden Carlson: Back with Thunder

    The Thunder recalled Carlson from the G League on Friday.

    Carlson signed a one-year deal with Oklahoma City on Nov. 16, but he's yet to appear in an NBA game. With Isaiah Hartenstein back in the fold, there likely won't be many minutes available for Carlson.

  • Ivica Zubac C | LAC

    Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Double-double in Friday's win

    Zubac had 10 points (5-8 FG), 15 rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Friday's 104-88 victory over the Kings.

    The veteran center pulled down double-digit boards for the fifth straight game and the 15th time in 17 contests to begin the season. Zubac's inconsistent offense has led him to only 10 double-doubles, but he's still on track for a breakout campaign, averaging 15.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 blocks while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor. He may be able to find another gear, too -- his 57.9 percent shooting from the free-throw line is well below his career 73.1 percent mark.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Extends double-double streak Friday

    Sabonis closed Friday's 104-88 loss to the Clippers with 24 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes.

    After missing the prior two games due to back tightness, Sabonis appeared to be fully healthy in his return and reeled off his 13th straight game with a double-double or better. The 28-year-old center has seen his distribution numbers fall off a bit with DeMar DeRozan in the lineup, but he's averaging career highs in points (20.4), threes (1.0) and field-goal percentage (63.0 percent) to begin the season while supplying 12.7 boards and 6.4 assists per contest.
