Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Poeltl will be sidelined due to a back issue. It will be the fourth game he's missed this season. The team will likely turn to Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Eubanks registered 16 points (8-11 FG, 0-2 FT), one rebound, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 132-101 loss to the Thunder.

Although Eubanks scored 16 points as Domantas Sabonis' (rib) replacement, it was hard to grab many boards during Isaiah Hartenstein's career game. Maxime Raynaud actually led the team in rebounds, thanks to garbage time with Hartenstein off the floor.

Turner closed Friday's 126-110 win over the Bulls with 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one block and four steals over 31 minutes.

Turner has struggled to adjust to the Bucks' offensive scheme early on, which is understandable given that he spent his entire career with another franchise before joining Milwaukee in the offseason. However, the big man has been showing signs of turning things around of late. This 23-point output was a season-high mark for Turner, and he's scored in double digits in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Turner is averaging 12.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.8 blocks per game in four November appearances.

Hartenstein ended Friday's 132-101 win over the Kings with 33 points (14-17 FG, 5-6 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 31 minutes.

Hartenstein also added 19 rebounds to his voluminous total. The 7-foot center could do no wrong in the blowout, anchoring a first unit that continues to play at a high level despite Jalen Williams' (wrist) extended absence. Friday's incredible line marked Hartenstein's fourth double-double of the season.

Jackson-Davis amassed nine points (4-8 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 18 minutes during Friday's 129-104 loss to the Nuggets.

Jackson-Davis compiled five points and five rebounds in the fourth quarter, as the bench cleared in the blowout. He shined without Nikola Jokic's domineering presence in the paint, and ended the game tied for the team lead in rebounds. Jackson-Davis will continue to contend with Quinten Post for playing time in the second unit.

Jokic logged 26 points (12-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, nine assists and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 129-104 victory over the Warriors.

Jokic managed his massive total despite sitting for the entire fourth quarter. The superstar came achingly close to his sixth triple-double of the season, a benchmark he reached four consecutive times to begin the 2025-26 campaign.

Ware ended with seven points (3-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 126-108 victory over Charlotte.

Ware saw a season-high in minutes in this one, and while he was effective on the defensive end, he left a lot to be desired on offense. It's unclear if Bam Adebayo (foot) will be able to play Saturday against the Trail Blazers, but if he's out again, that would present a great bounce-back opportunity for Ware.

Wembanyama closed Friday's 121-110 win over Houston with 22 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 37 minutes.

It was a tale of two halves for Wembanyama, as he was held to just four points on 2-6 shooting through the first half of action. However, he caught fire over the second half with his teammates feeding him in the post, and he was able to help the Spurs hit the brakes on a two-game skid. San Antonio will look to make it two wins in a row Saturday against the Pelicans.

Sengun contributed 25 points (10-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 121-110 loss to San Antonio.

Sengun went to work banging in the post with Victor Wembanyama Friday night, and he helped hold the Spurs' superstar to a modest 22 points. Sengun is having a superb season in Houston, hitting career-highs in points (22.8), dimes (7.4), steals (1.5) and free throw percentage (74.6), and he's showing no signs of slowing down.

Claxton closed with 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 125-107 loss to the Pistons.

After a modest start to the season, Claxton continues to turn things around, scoring at least 17 points for the fifth straight game. During that span, he has averaged 18.2 points per game, adding 7.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.1 combined steals and blocks. Despite the uncertainty that seems to follow the Nets around, Claxton has proven himself to be a consistent producer on both ends of the floor.
