  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Pulls down 12 rebounds

    Clingan ended with nine points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Thursday's 117-101 victory over Atlanta.

    For the 23rd time this campaign, Clingan recorded double-digit rebounds for Portland. The second-year center is in the midst of a solid campaign, as he's on pace for seventh-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 10.9 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks.

    Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Left out of rotation Thursday

    Hansen (coach's decision) didn't appear off the bench Thursday in the Trail Blazers' 117-101 win over the Hawks.

    After making an appearance in the G League for the Rip City Remix on Wednesday and producing 22 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes in a 123-99 win over the Oklahoma City Blue, Hansen rejoined Portland ahead of its matchup with the Hawks. However, the rookie big man found himself outside of the rotation, as Portland went with Jerami Grant, Robert Williams and Duop Reath as its reserve big men before frontcourt starters Sidy Cissoko and Donovan Clingan. Hansen could have more G League assignments in his future if playing time remains hard to come by at the NBA level.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Huge night on boards

    Towns produced 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's 126-113 loss to the Warriors.

    Towns put together an elite showing on the glass, resulting in a new season high in rebounds. Eight of his 20 boards came on the offensive glass, which also marks a season high. Towns has now recorded a double-double in five of his last seven matchups, and his scoring efficiency is slowly starting to trend in the right direction.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Tallies 26 points in loss

    Okongwu collected 26 points (10-21 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block in 37 minutes during Thursday's 117-101 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    Okongwu wasn't afraid to let it fly, and while he didn't have the greatest night from beyond the arc, he led Atlanta in points, made threes and steals. The USC product also fell just one rebound shy of a double-double as he continues to make his presence felt on the glass. This was an improved performance out of Okongwu, who was held to seven points on 3-for-8 from the field in his previous showing Tuesday against the Lakers.

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Posts big double-double in return

    Duren (ankle) provided 16 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 FT), 18 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 28 minutes during Thursday's 108-105 win over the Suns.

    Duren picked right up where he left off in his return from a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, dominating the glass and using his athleticism to get easy buckets right under the rim. He secured his 19th double-double in 32 appearances of what's easily been a career-best season for Duren, who looks to be well on his way to cashing in on a long-term deal as a restricted free agent this summer.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Battles through knee issue

    Wembanyama produced 22 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 22 minutes during Thursday's 119-101 win over the Bucks.

    Wembanyama briefly exited Thursday's matchup in the first quarter after banging knees with an opposing player, but he managed to return for the final three periods. The knee issue didn't appear to impact him much, as he posted his best showing from beyond the arc since Nov. 10 against Chicago, when he went 6-for-9 from deep. Wembanyama is averaging 22.7 points and converting 48.9 percent of his shots from the field in three games since returning to the starting lineup.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Records another double-double

    Sengun registered 14 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, five assists and one block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 111-91 loss to the Thunder.

    Sengun wasn't as effective as he usually is on the offensive end, but he turned in his second straight double-double, this time by grabbing double-digit rebounds. He continues to look solid since returning from a three-game absence, averaging 18.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in his last three appearances.

    Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Hits for 18 from second unit

    Aldama totaled 18 points (6-11 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 118-111 loss to the Magic in Berlin.

    It was Aldama's best scoring effort since Dec. 23, when he erupted for 37 points in a start against the Jazz. The fifth-year big has produced double-digit points in seven of eight games since returning to the second unit, averaging 13.4 points, 6.9 boards, 3.1 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.1 blocks in 29.4 minutes over that span.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Starts second quarter

    Wembanyama (knee) started the second quarter of Thursday's game against Milwaukee, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

    Wembanyama went to the locker room during the first quarter to get his knee checked out after colliding with Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, Wembanyama emerged from the tunnel in the waning seconds of the first quarter and checked in to start the second period, so he appears to be just fine.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Limps to locker room

    Wembanyama went to the locker room during the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Bucks due to an apparent knee injury, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

    Wembanyama looked to bump knees with Giannis Antetokounmpo early in the first quarter and immediately went to the locker room after the play. He can be considered questionable to return until the team provides an update.
