NBA Player News

Hartenstein has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix due to left soleus injury management.

The Thunder are listing 10 players out for their regular-season finale, including Chet Holmgren (back) and Hartenstein. However, the veteran big man should be available for the start of the postseason. Branden Carlson and Kenrich Williams should see significant burn in the frontcourt once again Sunday.

Kornet (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Denver.

Kornet is dealing with right shoulder soreness and will miss San Antonio's regular-season finale. He'll finish the regular season with averages of 6.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks across 21.0 minutes per game in 68 regular-season appearances (25 starts).

Claxton (finger) is out for Sunday's game in Toronto, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

E.J. Liddell and Trevon Scott could again see significant minutes Sunday as the last men standing in Brooklyn's frontcourt. Claxton will end the season with averages of 11.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists (career-high figure) and 1.1 blocks per game.

Wembanyama (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Although Wembanyama has already reached the 65-game threshold for end-of-season awards thanks to his appearance in the NBA Cup title game, he could still suit up in San Antonio's regular-season finale. The star big man would likely be limited if he's cleared to suit up, as he's still dealing with left ribcage soreness after sustaining a rib contusion in Monday's win over the 76ers.

Bryant (calf) won't play Sunday against the Wizards.

Bryant will miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, and he'll be joined on the inactive list by Jarrett Allen (knee) and Evan Mobley (calf), leaving Cleveland very thin up front. Larry Nance and Olivier Sarr figure to help fill the void at center.

Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against Cleveland.

Sarr will end up missing 23 of the Wizards' final 30 games of the regular season, most recently due to left toe inflammation. The 2024 first overall pick will end his sophomore season averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 threes, 2.0 blocks and 0.8 steals over 27.2 minutes per game.

Towns has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets due to right elbow injury management.

The Knicks don't have anything to play for Sunday, given that they were locked in as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference following the Celtics' blowout win over the Pelicans on Friday. As such, Towns and the rest of the New York starters will be rested for the Knicks' regular-season finale, though they should all be available for the start of the postseason, with the possible exception of OG Anunoby (ankle). Towns will end the 2025-26 regular season averaging 20.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 threes and 0.9 steals over 31.0 minutes per game. With Towns and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) both out, the Knicks will lean more heavily on Ariel Hukporti, Trey Jemison, Mohamed Diawara and Jeremy Sochan.

Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets.

Robinson will end up missing the final two games of the regular season while managing a left ankle injury, though he should be available for the start of the postseason. He'll end the 2025-26 campaign averaging 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals over 19.6 minutes per game. With Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) also sidelined, Ariel Hukporti, Trey Jemison and Mohamed Diawara are all in line for expanded roles against Charlotte.

Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Along with several other key contributors, Allen will sit out Cleveland's regular-season finale, though he should be good to go for the playoffs. With the big man and Evan Mobley (calf) both unavailable, Larry Nance and Olivier Sarr should see increased playing time.

Okongwu is questionable to play Sunday against the Heat due to a sprained left index finger.

Okongwu's left index finger has been bothering him since the end of March, so Atlanta may opt to hold him out of their regular-season finale with Miami. If Okongwu can't play, Mouhamed Gueye would have a chance to start, and there would be more minutes available for Asa Newell and Christian Koloko.
