NBA Player News

Adams (calf) is available for Friday's game against San Antonio.

Adams missed Wednesday's season-opening win over the Mavericks but will shed his questionable tag and return to action Friday. He's expected to operate as Alperen Sengun's primary backup.

Ighodaro (oblique) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against Golden State.

Head coach Jordan Ott previously said Ighodaro wouldn't play Saturday, though the doubtful tag suggests there's still a small chance he will suit up. In the likely event that the big man is ruled out, Khaman Maluach, Koa Peat, Rasheer Fleming and Duop Reath could see increased playing time.

Fall (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

Fall still isn't ready for his 76ers debut due to a quadriceps strain. Once cleared to make his season debut, the two-way player could see most of his action come with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats.

Diop (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Diop will miss a second consecutive game while managing a left knee injury. The big man isn't expected to have a big role for the Cavaliers once he's cleared to play, though. His next chance to suit up will come against the Timberwolves on Monday.

Embiid (rest) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

The star big man told reporters following Thursday's comeback win over the Cavaliers that he'd play only one half of this back-to-back set, so he's in line to sit out Sunday's showdown with the Pistons as opposed to Saturday. With LeBron James (back) a candidate to miss Saturday's contest, Embiid could have more usage on his plate.

Ighodaro has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to an oblique strain, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Ighodaro exited Wednesday's season-opening loss to Portland due to a hip injury and has since been diagnosed with an oblique strain. With the big man sidelined, Khaman Maluach, Koa Peat, Rasheer Fleming and Duop Reath are all candidates for increased playing time.

Bassey (knee) is out for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies.

The big man is nursing right patellar tendinopathy and can be considered day-to-day. Even with Kristaps Porzingis out of action, Bassey is unlikely to play a significant role once healthy.

Landale (nose) is available for Friday's game versus Charlotte.

Landale must've sustained a nasal fracture in Wednesday's Opening Night win over Orlando, but he's playing through the injury. He'll likely be wearing a mask until the issue is fully resolved.

Bradley (quadriceps) is available for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.

The journeyman center is getting the green light to make his Jazz debut Friday. He fortifies Utah's frontcourt depth while Jusuf Nurkic (foot) is injured, but Kyle Filipowski should remain firmly ahead of Bradley for the backup center gig behind Jaxson Hayes.

Collins (quadriceps) is available for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Collins will play through a right quadriceps strain after previously carrying a probable designation. The veteran big man was limited to 16 minutes in Wednesday's season opener against Toronto, and he could remain on a restricted workload Friday. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) sidelined, Collins should have opportunities in Chicago's frontcourt if his minutes increase.
