  • Suns' Mark Williams: Ruled out for Thursday

    Williams has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bulls due to left foot soreness.

    Williams will be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set, marking his first absence since Dec. 29. His next chance to play will come Friday against New Orleans. With the 24-year-old center out, Oso Ighodaro will likely get the starting nod, while Khaman Maluach is in line to see increased minutes off the bench.

  • 76ers' Andre Drummond: Not starting vs. Utah

    Drummond won't start Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

    The veteran big man will slide to the second unit in favor of Adem Bona with Joel Embiid (oblique) sidelined. Over his last five outings off the bench, Drummond has averaged 3.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 10.2 minutes per contest.

  • Maxi Kleber C | LAL

    Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Questionable for Thursday

    Kleber (back) is questionable for Thursday's game in Denver.

    Kleber isn't a consistent part of the rotation for the Lakers, so his status for Thursday's game won't impact fantasy leagues. Kleber is averaging 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds per game on the season.

  • Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Moving to bench Wednesday

    Vucevic won't start Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    With Neemias Queta (rest) back in the lineup, Vucevic will slide to the second unit. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the veteran big man has averaged 11.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.

  • Spurs' Mason Plumlee: Won't play Thursday

    Plumlee (reconditioning) is out for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

    Plumlee's next chance to make his Spurs debut comes Friday against the Clippers. Luke Kornet should have the No. 2 center gig all to himself behind Victor Wembanyama on Thursday.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Questionable for Thursday

    Sengun is questionable to play Thursday versus the Warriors due to an illness.

    Sengun isn't feeling 100 percent, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at Thursday's shootaround. If the star big man is forced to the sidelines, Clint Capela would have a chance to start, while Jeff Green could see meaningful playing time in the Houston rotation.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Remains out for Thursday

    Sarr (hamstring) is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

    Sarr hasn't taken the court since Feb. 8 due to a right hamstring strain, and the last report Feb. 26 was that he was considered week-to-week. For now, consider him doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

  • Suns' Mark Williams: Flirts with double-double

    Williams produced 10 points (3-6 FG, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 win over the Kings.

    Williams' role is beginning to dwindle a bit, and Oso Ighodaro soundly outproduced Williams on Tuesday. Williams has averaged just 7.0 rebounds, 6.9 points and 0.4 blocks in 19.5 minutes per tilt over his last seven outings, shooting only 40.8 percent from the field. His playing time will remain worth monitoring going forward.

  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Ruled out for Thursday

    Bagley is out for Thursday's game against Orlando.

    Bagley is sidelined for a fourth straight contest with a neck sprain. Daniel Gafford and Dwight Powell should split the center minutes evenly in Bagley's absence.

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Rights ship Tuesday

    Ayton finished Tuesday's 110-101 victory over New Orleans with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 25 minutes.

    Ayton's recent struggles have become well-documented, but he put together a solid stat line Tuesday. The veteran big man has averaged 7.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 21.3 minutes per game over his past four outings, though he remains locked into a starting role at center for the Lakers.
