Turner is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves due to a left hip contusion.

Turner could miss his first game since Feb. 12 due to a hip injury. If he is unable to go, Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin should have sizable roles, especially considering Pascal Siakam (personal) has already been ruled out.

Kessler is in the Jazz's starting five against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

Despite not being on the injury report, Kessler was a healthy scratch for Friday's loss to the Raptors, but he'll reenter the starting five in place of Kyle Filipowski. Kessler has averaged 12.9 points, 14.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.8 blocks over 32.4 minutes per game since the beginning of February.

Castleton won't start Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Castleton is back with Toronto on a second 10-day deal, but he won't start Sunday, as Jakob Poeltl (rest) is back in the lineup. Over his last three appearances off the bench, Castleton has averaged 5.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 25.3 minutes per game.

Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Williams was cleared to play during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks following a 10-game absence due to a left knee sprain, though he hasn't seen the floor since Feb. 22. Donovan Clingan and Duop Reath will likely shoulder the workload at center due to Williams being sidelined.

Len won't start Sunday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

With Jaxson Hayes (knee) sidelined, Len drew three straight starts but failed to make an impact, totaling four points, 10 rebounds and four assists in 44 minutes. Len wasn't part of the regular rotation before Hayes' injury, but the former should have a role Sunday, as Trey Jemison (illness) is sidelined.

Plumlee won't start Sunday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Plumlee drew two straight starts in place of Nick Richards (ankle), who's returning to action Sunday. Plumlee was actually more productive coming off the bench before moving into the starting lineup, averaging 13.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 24.5 minutes per game over his past four reserve appearances.

Holmgren (rest) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

As expected, Holmgren will return to action Sunday after sitting out Saturday's win in Detroit. Holmgren chipped in 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one block over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 118-112 win over Boston, but his production has been sporadic since returning from a three-game absence in early February.

Richards (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

As expected, Richards has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action after missing two straight games. Over his last 10 appearances, Richards has averaged 12.2 points, 9.1 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 23.8 minutes per game.

Sims is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a right thumb sprain.

The right thumb sprain is a new injury for Sims, who has made 13 consecutive appearances for Milwaukee. The big man has averaged 2.6 points and 4.9 rebounds across 15.2 minutes per contest in that 13-game span.

Hayes (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns.

As expected, Hayes has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action Sunday, snapping a four-game absence. Before the injury, Hayes started 16 games in a row, averaging 8.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 blocks across 23.4 minutes per game.
