Sarr closed Saturday's 130-122 victory over the Grizzlies with 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 26 minutes.

The Grizzlies lost Brandon Clarke (calf) early in the contest, and Sarr was able to take advantage of the gap opposite an overworked Jaren Jackson. Although Jock Landale stepped in to cover the absence, he had limited success while the Wizards worked their way back from a massive deficit. Sarr showed no ill effects from the thigh injury that sidelined him for six games, although he may take a seat for injury management Sunday, which is the tail end of the back-to-back.

Zubac will not return to Saturday's game against the Lakers due to a left ankle injury, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Zubac rolled his left ankle, and while he was able to walk off the court under his own power, he was sporting a serious limp as he went back to the locker room. For now, Zubac should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, and if he needs to miss time, that would benefit John Collins and Brook Lopez.

Huff closed with nine points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 21 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 loss to New Orleans.

Huff didn't have his best performance in this contest, though to be fair, the Pacers' frontcourt struggled mightily all game, except for Pascal Siakam (22 points, 6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT). Huff has been making his presence felt on defense, though, as he's recorded multiple blocks in each of his last 14 regular-season appearances.

Zubac limped to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury during Saturday's game versus the Lakers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Zubac appeared to roll his left ankle and wasn't able to put much weight on it. The Clippers will likely provide an update shortly, but his night could be done.

Jokic logged 25 points (9-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 115-101 loss to the Rockets.

The perennial MVP candidate led the Nuggets in scoring on the afternoon, but he failed to record at least a double-double for only the third time in 27 games this season. Jokic's seven boards tied his season low, while his five dimes were his lowest output in that category so far in 2025-26. He has scored more than 20 points in 10 straight games, averaging 29.1 points, 10.9 boards, 10.1 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch.

Davis contributed 24 points (11-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one block over 34 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to the 76ers.

Davis dominated his matchup with Andre Drummond, and this was a solid bounce-back game from him following Thursday's 7-for-18 shooting performance. The Mavs open up Week 10 with a Monday-Tuesday, back-to-back set, so managers will need to be on the lookout for a potential rest day for the 32-year-old veteran.

Clarke is doubtful to return to Saturday's game against the Wizards due to right calf soreness.

Clarke picked up the calf injury in the first quarter of Saturday's contest, and he's unlikely to return. It was just his second game of the campaign after being sidelined while rehabbing from offseason knee surgery. While he's sidelined, Santi Aldama and Jock Landale could see additional minutes.

Bradley (thumb) will be available to play Saturday versus the Pelicans.

Per Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle acknowledged that Bradley's fractured right thumb is only "partially functional" with a splint, so while he may be used as a big body on defense, it doesn't sound like he'll be a significant part of the rotation. Bradley shouldn't be viewed as a viable target in fantasy leagues.

Embiid (illness/knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Embiid will miss both ends of the 76ers' back-to-back set due to illness and right knee injury management. His absence should allow Andre Drummond to make another start, while Adem Bona should serve as Drummond's primary backup. Embiid's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Brooklyn.

Davis (illness) will play Saturday against the 76ers, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Davis will play through a probable tag after pushing through Thursday's game with the same illness. For now, there's no word of any limitations for him in this contest in terms of minutes.
