  • Naz Reid PF | CHA

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Out Sunday

    Reid (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.

    Reid will miss his first game of the season due to a right shoulder injury. With Rudy Gobert (suspension) also sidelined, Joan Beringer could see extra minutes at the five, while Terrence Shannon could see an expanded role off the bench.

  • Jusuf Nurkic C | UTA

    Jazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Won't play Monday

    Nurkic (nose) has been ruled out for Monday's game in Houston.

    Monday will mark Nurkic's third consecutive game on the inactive list, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans. Kyle Filipowski will continue to get the bulk of the five-man minutes with Nurkic sidelined.

  • Spurs' Mason Plumlee: Out for Monday

    Plumlee (reconditioning) won't play Monday in Detroit.

    Plumlee has yet to play for the Spurs after inking a 10-day deal with the club on Feb. 17, but his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Toronto. Plumlee is not expected to have a significant role with the Spurs.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Available to play

    Gafford (ankle) is available for Sunday's game in Indiana.

    Gafford was able to get through his pregame routine without issue, so he'll continue to power through the ankle issue. With Gafford active, Dwight Powell could have a tough time getting into the rotation.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Warriors' Al Horford: Starting Sunday

    Horford is in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Sunday.

    Draymond Green (back) was a late scratch, so Horford will make his sixth start of the season Sunday. Horford started in four consecutive outings from late January to early February and averaged 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals over 22.5 minutes per game over that span.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Back to bench Sunday

    Sims is not in the starting lineup against the Raptors on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Sims has started in four of the Bucks' last five games, and over that span he has averaged 7.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks over 26.8 minutes. He'll come off the bench Sunday while the Bucks go with Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner as the starting five.

  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Starting Sunday

    Poeltl will start Sunday in Milwaukee.

    Poeltl came off the bench in Thursday's win over the Bulls, but he'll return to his starting role Sunday, and it'll be interesting to see how many minutes he's played. Over the past two games, Poeltl has logged a total of just 36 minutes, and he hasn't provided any defensive statistics in either of those outings.

  • Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Headed to bench

    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.

  • Bulls' Nick Richards: Questionable for Sunday

    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.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Won't play Sunday

    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.
