Alex Sarr C | WAS
Wizards' Alex Sarr: Ruled out for Sunday
Sarr (toe) won't play in Sunday's game against Portland.
Sarr will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to left big toe injury management. His next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against the Lakers. With the second-year big man out, Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese are candidates to see expanded roles.

Jock Landale C | ATL
Hawks' Jock Landale: Starting Saturday
Landale is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Landale will draw his first start since Feb. 5, when he made his Hawks debut. In that outing, Landale delivered 26 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and four blocks across 32 minutes. With Dyson Daniels (toe), Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Onyeka Okongwu (finger) out, Landale should receive as many minutes as he can handle.

Isaiah Jackson C | LAC
Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Labeled questionable
Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Jackson departed Friday's game with a right ankle injury that's been officially labeled a sprain. If the big man can't play Sunday, Nicolas Batum would see an uptick in playing time, while John Collins could see more action at the center spot.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Cleared to face Kings
Landale (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against Sacramento, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Landale is set to return from a one-game absence due to a right shoulder impingement. With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) sidelined, Landale should have a featured role in the frontcourt.

Quinten Post C | GS
Warriors' Quinten Post: Upgraded to questionable
Post (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver.
Post has missed three straight games due to right foot injury management, though the questionable tag is a step in the right direction. If Post is able to play, Omer Yurtseven and Malevy Leons could see fewer opportunities.

Yang Hansen C | POR
Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Returns to Portland
The Trail Blazers recalled Hansen from the G League's Rip City Remix on Saturday.
Hansen will rejoin the Trail Blazers after appearing in the Remix's last two contests and averaging 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.0 minutes. Unless Portland is without at least one of Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams for Sunday's game against Washington, Hansen isn't expected to be featured in the rotation.

Neemias Queta C | BOS
Celtics' Neemias Queta: Iffy to play Sunday
Queta (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Queta has recently been playing through a right thumb sprain. The injury hasn't been severe enough for him to miss time, but if he doesn't play Sunday, then Luka Garza would be the top candidate to enter the Celtics' starting lineup. Since March 1, Queta has averaged 9.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 blocks over 26.6 minutes per contest.

Trayce Jackson-Davis C | TOR
Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Could return Sunday
Jackson-Davis (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Jackson-Davis was held out of Friday's game against the Magic due to right knee tendinitis. However, he hasn't seen consistent minutes off the bench for the Raptors since being acquired by the team from the Warriors in early February. Jackson-Davis won't be a prominent member of Toronto's rotation for as long as Collin Murray-Boyles (back), Jakob Poeltl and Sandro Mamukelashvili are available.

Jalen Duren C | DET
Pistons' Jalen Duren: Cleared to play Saturday
Duren (knee) is available for Saturday's game versus Minnesota.
Duren continues to make routine appearances on the official injury report. However, he will avoid his first absence since Feb. 19. The 22-year-old continues to play at an All-Star level, most recently amassing 30 points (10-12 FG, 10-12 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals in Thursday's 129-108 win over New Orleans.

Jericho Sims C | MIL
Bucks' Jericho Sims: Not starting Saturday
Sims won't start Saturday's game against San Antonio.
Sims started the last two games, but he will head back to the bench with Myles Turner (calf) available. Still, with the Bucks down Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) and Bobby Portis (wrist), Sims should continue to see meaningful minutes off the bench.
