Poeltl (back) is in the starting lineup against the Nets on Sunday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

With Poeltl returning from a two-game absence, Sandro Mamukelashvili will return to the second unit for Toronto. Poeltl is managing some nagging back soreness, and the team could be cautious with his workload.

Kalkbrenner is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers with a left elbow sprain.

This is a new injury for the rookie center. Monday's game is the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the Hornets may proceed with caution. If Kalkbrenner misses time, the team will likely turn to Moussa Diabate.

Poeltl (back) is expected to play Sunday against the Nets, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Poeltl, who is listed as questionable on the injury report, is on track to return from a two-game absence. If that's the case, Sandro Mamukelashvili will see reduced minutes for the Raptors.

Bagley (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Bagley will miss his first game since Nov. 28 due to a left calf injury, and his next opportunity to play is Tuesday on the road against the Hornets. With both Bagley and Alex Sarr (groin) sidelined for Sunday's game, Tristan Vukcevic figures to be the top candidate to start at center.

Bagley (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Bagley is nursing a sore left calf that puts him in jeopardy of missing Sunday night's game. Alex Sarr (groin) has already been ruled out, so if Bagley is also unable to play, then Tristan Vukcevic would be the top candidate to start at center against San Antonio.

Poeltl (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Poeltl is tending to a minor back injury, and head coach Darko Rajakovic said Saturday that the team wants to give him enough time to recover so that the injury doesn't linger deeper into the season. Poeltl has already missed two games due to the issue and is at risk of missing a third Sunday. If Poeltl winds up sitting, Sandro Mamukelashvili would likely draw another start.

Sarr (adductor) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Sarr recently had an extended absence with a right adductor injury, so the Wizards are exercising caution on the second half of their back-to-back. The second-year big man should be available for Tuesday's clash against the Hornets. Marvin Bagley (calf) and Tristan Vukcevic are in position to handle the center minutes Sunday.

Lively successfully underwent surgery on his right foot Sunday.

Lively sought out multiple opinions on his right foot, but it was ultimately determined that season-ending surgery was the best course of action for the third-year center, and he's expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season. Daniel Gafford and Dwight Powell will continue to serve as the main big men for Dallas behind Anthony Davis in Lively's absence.

Valanciunas supplied 10 points (5-10 FG), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Saturday's 115-101 loss to the Rockets.

Valanciunas attempted double-digit shots for the first time since Oct. 25. As a result, he delivered his third game with at least 10 points in his last four outings. The 33-year-old center has been an excellent per-minute producer behind Nikola Jokic, but his 12.9 minutes per game leave him as an option only in deeper leagues.

Lopez tallied 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two blocks over 25 minutes during the Clippers' 103-88 win over the Lakers on Saturday.

Lopez entered Saturday's game averaging 14.2 minutes off the bench, but his 25 minutes were a season high and largely came after Ivica Zubac left in the first quarter due to a left ankle injury. Lopez would be an intriguing fantasy streamer at center for his rebounding and three-point proficiency if Zubac were to be sidelined for an extended period of time.
