  • Bulls' Nick Richards: Nabs first double-double of season

    Richards recorded 14 points (4-7 FG, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Thursday's 121-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    Richards provided solid contributions off the bench and secured his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign in the process. The big man saw an uptick in playing time Thursday with Jalen Smith (calf) sidelined, and that trend should continue with Smith ruled out for at least the next week.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Double-doubles off bench

    Williams had 14 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals across 23 minutes during Thursday's 121-112 win over Chicago.

    Williams' status was a question mark leading up to tipoff, but he was ultimately cleared to play and turned in a strong showing. He scored in double figures for the first time since Feb. 6 and secured his first double-double since Feb. 1, as he saw more opportunities in the frontcourt without Donovan Clingan (illness). However, Williams is unlikely to see this kind of playing time when Clingan is healthy.

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Walks to locker room

    Reid went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Clippers with an undisclosed injury, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Reid managed to remain in the game immediately after taking a hard fall, but he was later spotted walking to the locker room. He'll be considered questionable to return until the team has more information on the severity of his injury.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Chips in 16 points in win

    Sengun finished Thursday's 113-108 win over Orlando with 16 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block over 31 minutes.

    Sengun put together a modest stat line during Thursday's win, though he did lead the Rockets in assists while finishing third in scoring behind Kevin Durant (40 points) and Reed Sheppard (20 points). Sengun has averaged 18.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals over 32.4 minutes per game since Feb. 2.

  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Cleared to return

    Bagley (head) checked back in to Thursday's game against the Kings, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

    Bagley returned to the game with 10:08 remaining in the fourth quarter after suffering a head injury earlier in the half. He shouldn't face any type of restriction down the stretch.

  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Suffers head injury

    Bagley went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Kings due to a head injury, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    Bagley appeared to take a knee to the head, resulting in his prompt departure from the game. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Double-doubles in win

    Embiid produced 26 points (8-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 win over the Heat.

    Embiid got kneed in the ribs early in the game, and while he played through it, he could be seen grimacing throughout the match. The good news is that the 76ers don't play again until Sunday versus the Celtics, so Embiid will have a full two days to rest up. However, if the big man does need to hit the sidelines Sunday, that would give Andre Drummond a chance to get back into the rotation.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Considered week-to-week

    Sarr (hamstring) is being considered week-to-week, Wizards' sideline reporter Meghan McPeak reports.

    Sarr hasn't take the court since Feb. 8 due to a right hamstring strain, and this update indicates that he'll miss at least three additional matchups. Tristan Vukcevic should continue to see starts at center until Sarr is ready to return.

  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Entering starting five

    Bagley is starting Thursday's game against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    Bagley will step into the starting five with both Daniel Gafford (ankle) and P.J. Washington (ankle) unavailable. Bagley's last start dates back to Feb. 1 against the Kings, when he tallied 15 points, six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 19 minutes.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Returns Thursday

    Embiid (ribs) has returned to Thursday's game against the Heat, per the broadcast.

    Embiid took a shot to the ribs and required a quick trip to the locker room, but he's since returned to the game. It appears he's fine.
