Bagley is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Cavaliers.

Bagley will draw the start with Daniel Gafford (rest) taking the night off, and it'll be Cooper Flagg, Max Christie, Ryan Nembhard and Naji Marshall joining Bagley in the first unit for Friday's game. As a starter this season, the big man has produced averages of 13.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.2 swats per contest.

Robinson is starting Friday versus the Pacers.

Robinson is getting the spot start due to Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) being unavailable. Over 14 starts this season, Robinson has posted averages of 3.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.

Duren (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.

Duren will push through the pain and make himself available for Friday's game. The 22-year-old big man is averaging 18.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game this season.

Kalkbrenner (illness) is probable to play Saturday in San Antonio.

It looks like Kalkbrenner will be back in action Saturday following a one-game absence, which will likely result in Xavier Tillman dropping back out of the rotation. Kalkbrenner is averaging 8.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game this season.

Sengun (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Sengun popped up on Thursday's injury report due to lower-back pain. The injury is severe enough for the fifth-year center to sit out Friday's contest, and he'll look to progress enough in his recovery to return for Monday's game against the Lakers. Clint Capela will likely enter the Rockets' starting five in Sengun's absence, and Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard and Kevin Durant should all see increased responsibilities.

Wembanyama (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Wembanyama missed Thursday's loss to Denver due to right ankle soreness and is in jeopardy of missing Saturday's contest as well. If the star big man is ultimately ruled out, Luke Kornet would likely get the starting nod, while Mason Plumlee could remain in the rotation.

Gafford (rest) is out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Ron Harrod Jr. of DLLS Sports reports.

Gafford will take his standard maintenance day on the second leg of a back-to-back set, which should result in Marvin Bagley moving into the first unit. Gafford will likely return for Sunday's rematch in Cleveland.

Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Towns was initially listed as questionable for Friday's game due to knee soreness. He was downgraded to doubtful before being ruled out, and his next chance to play is Sunday against the Warriors. Mitchell Robinson will likely enter the starting lineup at center in Towns' absence.

Zubac (ankle) will play Friday versus the Knicks, Jared Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Zubac was held out of the second half of Thursday's game to have him available for both legs of the back-to-back set, and it'll be interesting to see if he's cleared for both halves Friday evening. With Zubac active, Jay Huff could be relegated to minutes in the teens.

Embiid (oblique) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Embiid will miss an eighth consecutive contest due to a right oblique strain, though he's expected to be re-evaluated soon. With the star big man sidelined, Adem Bona (back) and Andre Drummond (back), who are both listed as questionable, are candidates for increased playing time. If either of those two are ruled out, Trendon Watford would be in line for more playing time. Embiid's next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Trail Blazers.
