  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Iffy to play Sunday

    Queta (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    Queta has recently been playing through a right thumb sprain. The injury hasn't been severe enough for him to miss time, but if he doesn't play Sunday, then Luka Garza would be the top candidate to enter the Celtics' starting lineup. Since March 1, Queta has averaged 9.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 blocks over 26.6 minutes per contest.

  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Could return Sunday

    Jackson-Davis (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Jackson-Davis was held out of Friday's game against the Magic due to right knee tendinitis. However, he hasn't seen consistent minutes off the bench for the Raptors since being acquired by the team from the Warriors in early February. Jackson-Davis won't be a prominent member of Toronto's rotation for as long as Collin Murray-Boyles (back), Jakob Poeltl and Sandro Mamukelashvili are available.

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Cleared to play Saturday

    Duren (knee) is available for Saturday's game versus Minnesota.

    Duren continues to make routine appearances on the official injury report. However, he will avoid his first absence since Feb. 19. The 22-year-old continues to play at an All-Star level, most recently amassing 30 points (10-12 FG, 10-12 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals in Thursday's 129-108 win over New Orleans.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Not starting Saturday

    Sims won't start Saturday's game against San Antonio.

    Sims started the last two games, but he will head back to the bench with Myles Turner (calf) available. Still, with the Bucks down Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) and Bobby Portis (wrist), Sims should continue to see meaningful minutes off the bench.

  • Bulls' Nick Richards: Won't play against Memphis

    Richards (elbow) won't play in Saturday's game against Memphis.

    The Bulls are also down Jalen Smith (calf) and Guerschon Yabusele (ankle). As a result, Lachlan Olbrich may draw the first start of his young career.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Available versus San Antonio

    Turner (calf) is available for Saturday's game against San Antonio.

    Turner didn't play Wednesday against Portland. However, he will be back after missing only one game. With Bobby Portis (wrist), Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) unavailable, Jericho Sims and Pete Nance may both continue to see meaningful minutes even with Turner's return bolstering depth.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Won't play Saturday

    Okongwu (finger) won't play in Saturday's game against Sacramento, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Jock Landale (shoulder) is questionable. If Landale is upgraded to available, he would likely take over Okongwu's spot in the starting lineup. However, if Landale is also ruled out, Mouhamed Gueye would presumably roll with the first five.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Hawks' Jock Landale: Could return Saturday

    Landale (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Landale was a late scratch for Friday's game against the Celtics due to a right shoulder impingement. There's a chance he will return Saturday, and he would be in line for a significant role due to the absence of Onyeka Okongwu (finger). If Landale is also unable to play, then Mouhamed Gueye figures to be the top candidate to start at center for Atlanta.

  • Jaxson Hayes C | LAL

    Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Five rejections off bench Friday

    Hayes racked up 10 points (2-3 FG, 6-10 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and five blocks over 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-99 win over the Nets.

    The five swats were a season high for Hayes, but the 25-year-old center has been ruthless at the rim of late. He's recorded multiple rejections in five straight games (one start), averaging 11.2 points, 6.6 boards, 3.2 blocks, 0.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 24.2 minutes during that span while shooting 75.0 percent from the floor.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Upgrades to probable Saturday

    Duren (knee) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Duren popped up on Friday's injury report due to right knee injury management, but the fourth-year center is trending toward being available for Saturday's contest. He has accumulated eight double-doubles over his last nine outings, and over that span he has averaged 24.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals over 29.2 minutes per game.
