NBA Player News

Clingan totaled 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt), 13 rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Sunday's 128-112 loss to Denver.

Clingan opened Sunday's game with back-to-back triples, and he set a new career high in three-point makes within his first 10 minutes of play. This was the sophomore center's seventh straight double-double and his 32nd of the season. He shouldn't have much trouble keeping that streak going Monday with a favorable matchup against the Nets.

The Knicks recalled Hukporti from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Sunday.

Hukporti will be available for Sunday's game against the Wizards after suiting up for Westchester earlier in the day. He played 16 minutes in Westchester's 141-131 win over the Greensboro Swarm, finishing with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block.

Reid (ankle) is available for Sunday's game in Boston.

Reid is back after a two-game absence, which could result in Joan Beringer falling out of the rotation. Reid is averaging 13.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.2 triples, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game this season.

Williams was recalled from the G League on Sunday.

Williams will be available for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, but that doesn't mean he'll touch the court. Williams has been a negligible part of the Celtics' rotation this season.

Kleber (back) is questionable for Monday's game in Detroit.

Kleber was recently able to get in a practice with the Lakers' G League affiliate, and this is the first time he's received the questionable tag since going down with the back issue, so he appears to be on the cusp of a return. That said, he's not a consistent part of the rotation in Los Angeles, so even if he's cleared, he wouldn't be guaranteed minutes.

Carlson (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game in Philadelphia.

While Carlson will be available for Monday's game, so will the rest of the Thunder centers, so there are no guarantees he'll be able to find minutes in the rotation. In 35 appearances for the Thunder this season, the second-year center has averaged 4.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per contest.

Embiid (oblique) is out for Monday's game against Oklahoma City.

At this point, it remains a mystery regarding how long Embiid will stay on the shelf. While he is out of commission, Adem Bona is the favorite to stay in the starting lineup. Andre Drummond will also continue to be in line for more work.

Horford (calf) won't suit up for Monday's game against Dallas.

Horford was injured during a March 13 loss to the Timberwolves, and he's been unavailable for the Dubs' last five contests. The big man is due to be re-evaluated in coming days, although that doesn't mean he's close to returning. Kristaps Porzingis (back) is listed as probable for Monday's contest, and assuming he's available, he's expected to go a long way toward filling the void created by Horford's absence. Draymond Green and Gui Santos could also continue to see additional opportunities in the frontcourt.

Porzingis (back) is probable heading into Monday's game against Dallas.

Porzingis was injured in Friday's game against Detroit and didn't suit up for Saturday's 126-110 loss to Atlanta. With Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) both sidelined, Porzingis will likely find himself back in the starting lineup if he's cleared to get back on the court. The 30-year-old has struggled from a production standpoint since arriving in Golden State, averaging 14.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 20.3 minutes per contest (seven games).

Post has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks due to right foot injury management.

Post has been working through a right foot issue as of late and will miss his fifth game since March 7, with his next chance to play being Wednesday against the Nets. He played 14 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Hawks, and those minutes should be absorbed by Kristaps Porzingis (back), the latter of whom is listed as probable for Monday's game.
