Sarr finished with 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 132-101 loss to Miami.

Sarr didn't stand out as a scorer but still managed to fill up the stat sheet in a blowout loss. In what's been a productive season of progression for the 2024 first-round pick, the big man is now up to 12 double-doubles on the campaign, with three coming over his past six contests.

Ware logged 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 win over the Wizards.

Ware made a significant impact as both a scorer and rebounder in a dominant Heat victory. Sunday marked his highest scoring output since Dec. 29 and the big man's most rebounds in a game since Dec. 21. His role had been more limited as of late, as Ware averaged 7.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in just 11.3 minutes per contest over the previous six contests.

Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Aldama is set to miss a third consecutive game due to a right knee injury, and his last opportunity to play before the All-Star game is Wednesday against the Nuggets. Kyle Anderson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper figure to be the top candidates to start Monday in Aldama's absence.

Williams (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Williams could miss a second straight game due to a lingering knee injury. If he is unable to go, Yang Hansen could see extra minutes while backing up Donovan Clingan.

Embiid is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid has been a mainstay on the 76ers' injury report this season, and there's a chance he is sidelined for Monday's road tilt while managing a right knee injury. His absence would likely result in Andre Drummond entering the Sixers' starting five.

Ayton (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com report.

Ayton was a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to right knee soreness. It appears the veteran center will play Monday, though he could be held out for the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set Tuesday against the Spurs. Ayton's return would lead to Jaxson Hayes reverting to a bench role.

Towns finished with 11 points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 111-89 victory over the Celtics.

Towns returned from a one-game absence due to an eye injury and recorded a double-double, though it came with a muted scoring effort. The big man's scoring has trended down of late, as he entered Sunday averaging just 14.6 points over his previous eight contests. His work on the glass has remained steady, however, with Towns hauling in double-digit rebounds in 38 of 49 appearances this season.

Tillman (recently traded) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Pistons.

Tillman is on track to make his debut with the Hornets after being acquired from the Celtics on Thursday. Tillman is unlikely to see many minutes with his new team, given that he appeared in just three games for Boston since Christmas Day.

Huff posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during the Pacers' 122-104 loss to the Raptors on Sunday.

Huff finished Sunday's game as the Pacers' second-leading scorer behind Pascal Siakam (18 points), and the former has recorded two blocks in four of his last five outings. Huff has started in each of the Pacers' last four games and should remain in the starting lineup for as long as newcomer Ivica Zubac (ankle) is sidelined.

Sabonis (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Sabonis could miss a third straight game due to a lingering back injury. If he is unable to go, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell figure to see expanded roles.
