NBA Player News

Bagley (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Bagley was initially listed as doubtful for this NBA Cup matchup against the Raptors, the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the downgrade to out isn't surprising. It remains to be seen if the forward, who will miss a game for the first time in 2025-26 on Friday, will be able to make a quick return Saturday against the Bulls.

Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Toronto.

This will be the second straight game on the sidelines for Sarr, and his next chance to play will come Saturday in Chicago. With Marvin Bagley (hip) also unavailable for Friday's game, Tristan Vukcevic will get all the run he can handle, and Anthony Gill will have an opportunity to get into the rotation.

Allen (finger) is expected to play Friday against the Pacers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Allen remains questionable on the latest edition of the injury report, but the star big man is trending toward being available. Allen is averaging 15.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 blocks per game since the beginning of November.

Filipowski (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Filipowski will shake off a questionable tag to return from a one-game absence. In his last five appearances for the Jazz, Filipowski averaged 9.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 three-pointers in 21.4 minutes per contest.

Raynaud closed with 12 points (6-8 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 21 minutes during Thursday's 137-96 loss to the Grizzlies.

With Domantas Sabonis (knee) set to miss several weeks, Raynaud is suddenly on the fantasy radar. He produced a career-high 12 points in Thursday's blowout loss, and it's not crazy to think that he could leapfrog Precious Achiuwa and/or Drew Eubanks with the team continuing to struggle.

Collins had nine points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Thursday's 129-101 loss to the Magic.

Collins continues to be rather disappointing from a fantasy perspective. On the year so far, the veteran forward has averaged 11.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 25.3 minutes per contest in 15 games. Collins could still be acclimating to his new surroundings during his first season with Los Angeles, and he's at least shooting a strong 50.4 percent from the field.

Kornet accumulated five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Thursday's 135-126 victory over Atlanta.

Despite the absence of Victor Wembanyama (calf), Kornet hasn't been able to capitalize on his newfound opportunity after a great start to the campaign. Over his last two starts, Kornet produced just 2.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.5 steals in 24.0 minutes per contest. His opportunity in the short term is massive, so it's not a bad idea for fantasy managers to keep rolling the dice on him.

Edey finished Thursday's 137-96 win over the Kings with 16 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two steals over 25 minutes.

Edey continues to work his way back from an injury, making his third straight appearance. Edey had a solid showing on both ends of the court Thursday, but he stood out because he was perfect from the field. Expect Edey to continue playing a solid two-way role for the Grizzlies, and he's solidified himself as the starting center.

Porzingis amassed 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Thursday's 135-126 loss to San Antonio.

Porzingis snapped a three-game absence Thursday and delivered a solid stat line across the board. He ended just one minute away from 30 -- he's reached that plateau only once this season. Porzingis is a reliable option to score in double digits and should be valuable in fantasy as long as he stays healthy.

Turner ended with 14 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Thursday's 123-114 overtime loss to the 76ers.

Turner didn't have his best shooting performance in this contest, but he ended up with a double-double for the first time in the 2025-26 campaign. The shooting woes aren't much of an issue as long as Turner can be an effective two-way presence in the frontcourt, something that is needed desperately due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin). Turner is averaging 14.6 points, 6.7 boards and a combined 3.0 steals-plus-blocks per game over his last 10 outings.
