  • Celtics' Amari Williams: Recalled from G League

    Williams was recalled from the G League on Sunday.

    Williams will be available for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, but that doesn't mean he'll touch the court. Williams has been a negligible part of the Celtics' rotation this season.

  • Maxi Kleber C | LAL

    Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Questionable for Monday

    Kleber (back) is questionable for Monday's game in Detroit.

    Kleber was recently able to get in a practice with the Lakers' G League affiliate, and this is the first time he's received the questionable tag since going down with the back issue, so he appears to be on the cusp of a return. That said, he's not a consistent part of the rotation in Los Angeles, so even if he's cleared, he wouldn't be guaranteed minutes.

  • Thunder's Branden Carlson: Not listed on injury report

    Carlson (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game in Philadelphia.

    While Carlson will be available for Monday's game, so will the rest of the Thunder centers, so there are no guarantees he'll be able to find minutes in the rotation. In 35 appearances for the Thunder this season, the second-year center has averaged 4.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per contest.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Still out Monday

    Embiid (oblique) is out for Monday's game against Oklahoma City.

    At this point, it remains a mystery regarding how long Embiid will stay on the shelf. While he is out of commission, Adem Bona is the favorite to stay in the starting lineup. Andre Drummond will also continue to be in line for more work.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Warriors' Al Horford: Out again Monday

    Horford (calf) won't suit up for Monday's game against Dallas.

    Horford was injured during a March 13 loss to the Timberwolves, and he's been unavailable for the Dubs' last five contests. The big man is due to be re-evaluated in coming days, although that doesn't mean he's close to returning. Kristaps Porzingis (back) is listed as probable for Monday's contest, and assuming he's available, he's expected to go a long way toward filling the void created by Horford's absence. Draymond Green and Gui Santos could also continue to see additional opportunities in the frontcourt.

  • Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Expected to play Monday

    Porzingis (back) is probable heading into Monday's game against Dallas.

    Porzingis was injured in Friday's game against Detroit and didn't suit up for Saturday's 126-110 loss to Atlanta. With Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) both sidelined, Porzingis will likely find himself back in the starting lineup if he's cleared to get back on the court. The 30-year-old has struggled from a production standpoint since arriving in Golden State, averaging 14.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 20.3 minutes per contest (seven games).

  • Warriors' Quinten Post: Not playing Monday

    Post has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks due to right foot injury management.

    Post has been working through a right foot issue as of late and will miss his fifth game since March 7, with his next chance to play being Wednesday against the Nets. He played 14 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Hawks, and those minutes should be absorbed by Kristaps Porzingis (back), the latter of whom is listed as probable for Monday's game.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Not playing Sunday

    Sarr has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to left big toe capsulitis.

    Sarr has been able to play through inflammation in his left big toe in each of the Wizards' last two games, but he will sit for the second leg of the team's back-to-back set after playing 22 minutes in Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Thunder. Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese should all see a bump in minutes Sunday due to Sarr's absence. Sarr's next chance to play is Wednesday against the Jazz.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Grabs 11 boards in win

    Sims totaled five points (1-1 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

    Sims dominated the glass, hauling in a game-high 11 rebounds off the bench. Milwaukee is dealing with injuries to multiple players, meaning Sims has been thrust into a meaningful role, albeit typically off the bench. With that said, his offensive upside is basically non-existent, meaning he should be considered a rebounds streamer only.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Hits rock bottom in loss

    Ware registered one rebound across five minutes during Saturday's 123-122 loss to Houston.

    Ware barely saw the court, logging just five minutes Saturday. For those still holding Ware, this could be the final nail in the coffin when it comes to his fantasy value. Despite the clear upside, his role is seemingly impossible to predict at this point. Even with multiple injuries to other players, Ware hasn't been able to solidify a consistent spot in the rotation. With that said, he should be better than this on most nights, at least keeping him on the radar in standard leagues.
