  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Back to bench Sunday

    Sims is not in the starting lineup against the Raptors on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Sims has started in four of the Bucks' last five games, and over that span he has averaged 7.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks over 26.8 minutes. He'll come off the bench Sunday while the Bucks go with Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner as the starting five.

  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Starting Sunday

    Poeltl will start Sunday in Milwaukee.

    Poeltl came off the bench in Thursday's win over the Bulls, but he'll return to his starting role Sunday, and it'll be interesting to see how many minutes he's played. Over the past two games, Poeltl has logged a total of just 36 minutes, and he hasn't provided any defensive statistics in either of those outings.

  • Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Headed to bench

    Sharpe is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Hawks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

    Sharpe will head back to the second unit due to Nic Claxton (ankle) returning from a three-game absence, so Sharpe's value will take a hit. As a reserve this season, Sharpe owns averages of 8.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

  • Bulls' Nick Richards: Questionable for Sunday

    Richards is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to right foot soreness.

    Richards could hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, which might open up some additional minutes for Guerschon Yabusele and Patrick Williams. Check back closer to tipoff for official word on Richards' status.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Won't play Sunday

    Robinson (ankle) is out for Sunday's game in Chicago.

    Sunday's game will be the second of a back-to-back set, so Robinson will get his standard maintenance day, which could lead to more minutes for Jeremy Sochan. Robinson will likely return for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Out again Sunday

    Embiid (knee/shin) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

    This will be Embiid's fifth consecutive game on the sidelines, and given there haven't been any reports of the big man practicing, he should be considered highly questionable for Tuesday's game in Indiana. Adem Bona, Andre Drummond and Dominick Barlow will help pick up the slack with Embiid unavailable.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Cleared to play Sunday

    Turner (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Turner missed the Bucks' last two games while recovering from a right calf strain. The veteran center has been cleared to return Sunday, which will likely result in Jericho Sims reverting to a bench role against Toronto. Turner has averaged 10.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals over 27.2 minutes per game since Feb. 1.

  • Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Ruled out for Sunday

    Porzingis (illness) won't play Sunday versus the Nuggets and his status for the Warriors' upcoming two-game road trip is uncertain, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

    Porzingis woke up feeling very sick Sunday morning and he won't be in attendance for Sunday's game. Head coach Steve Kerr was noncommittal when asked about his status for the upcoming two-game road trip, and with those contests coming in a back-to-back set, Porzingis could miss at least one more game. His absence will open up minutes for Gui Santos, Al Horford and Quinten Post.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Questionable to play Sunday

    Reid is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers due to a right shoulder injury.

    Reid may have picked up the injury during the Timberwolves' 122-111 win over the Mavericks on Friday, when he posted 21 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes. He would likely start Sunday given the absence of Rudy Gobert (suspension), but if Reid is unable to play, then Joan Beringer could enter Minnesota's starting five against Philadelphia.

  • Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Questionable for Sunday

    Porzingis has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game due to an illness.

    Porzingis isn't feeling 100 percent and will likely need to get through his pregame routine before an official decision is made on his status for Sunday's game. If he's out, that will open up more minutes for Gui Santos, Al Horford and Quinten Post.
