  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Will play Friday

    Williams (knee) is available for Friday's game against Dallas.

    Williams drew the questionable tag for Friday's game due to a left knee injury, but the veteran center has been cleared to play against the Mavericks. He has averaged 7.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over 18.8 minutes per game across 13 outings since the All-Star break.

  • Suns' Mark Williams: Remains out for Saturday

    Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

    Williams will miss a 13th straight game due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot. The big man has yet to advance to 5-on-5 work, so he can be considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Grizzlies until Phoenix offers an update on his progress.

  • Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Sliding to second unit

    Jordan won't start Friday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Jordan got the starting nod in Thursday's loss to Detroit but will slide to the second unit in favor of Yves Missi on Friday. Jordan recorded six straight DNP-CDs before Thursday's contest, so the veteran big man isn't guaranteed to see the court Friday.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Starting Friday

    Missi is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Missi will replace DeAndre Jordan in the starting lineup, and it'll be Jeremiah Fears, Herbert Jones, Saddiq Bey and Zion Williamson joining him in the first unit for Friday's game. Across 10 starts this season, Missi has posted averages of 6.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 swats per contest.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Warriors' Al Horford: To be re-evaluated in one week

    Horford is making good progress in his recovery from a right soleus strain and will be re-evaluated in one week, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Horford hasn't played since March 13 due to the calf injury and won't return until early April at the earliest. His next opportunity to play will come April 5 against the Rockets. With the veteran big man still on the shelf, Omer Yurtseven and Quinten Post (foot) are candidates for increased burn off the bench.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Cleared to play Friday

    Allen (knee) will play Friday versus Miami.

    Allen was initially listed as probable, so the upgrade isn't much of a surprise. The 27-year-old hasn't played since March 3, so head coach Kenny Atkinson will take things slow by limiting him to around 20 minutes of work, according to Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland. As a result, Thomas Bryant should continue to see more minutes than usual from the second unit.

  • Bulls' Nick Richards: Ruled out Friday

    Richards (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder.

    Richards will miss Friday's contest due to a right elbow sprain he sustained in Wednesday's loss to Philadelphia. With the big man unavailable, Guerschon Yabusele will likely get the starting nod at center, while Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller are candidates to see increased playing time. Richards' next opportunity to play will come Saturday in Memphis.

  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Won't suit up Friday

    Jackson-Davis has been ruled out for Friday's game against New Orleans due to right knee tendinitis.

    Jackson-Davis has played sparingly of late, but he may have tweaked his knee at some point during his four-minute appearance in the Raptors' 119-94 loss to the Clippers. His absence Friday shouldn't affect the Toronto rotation.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Absent from injury report

    Kornet (knee) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Milwaukee, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.

    After sitting out Wednesday's win over Memphis due to right knee injury management, Kornet is ready to return to the court for the Spurs to handle his usual duties as the No. 2 center behind Victor Wembanyama. Over his last five games, Kornet has averaged 5.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.0 minutes per game while shooting 55.6 percent from the floor.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Iffy to face San Antonio

    Turner (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

    Turner is in danger of missing a second straight game due to right calf soreness. With Bobby Portis (wrist) also listed as questionable, Jericho Sims and Pete Nance could both see a sizable bump in minutes Saturday. Over 12 appearances in March, Turner has averaged 8.3 points and 3.8 rebounds across 22.5 minutes per tilt.
