Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said after Friday's 127-117 loss to the Timberwolves that Horford suffered a right calf strain during the contest and is expected to miss time, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports. "With a calf, we're not going to rush him back," Kerr said.

With Draymond Green (back) sitting out Friday, Horford picked up his 12th start of the season but played just five minutes before exiting with 7:05 remaining in the first quarter due to what the Warriors had labeled as right calf tightness. With Kerr confirming that the veteran big man strained his calf, Horford is expected to miss the Warriors' next game Sunday in New York and likely additional contests beyond that. The potential return of Green for Sunday's game could help offset Horford's absence, and Kristaps Porzingis and Quinten Post (ankle) could also move into larger roles in the Golden State frontcourt.

Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse said that Embiid (oblique) returned to basketball activities Friday, but it's still unclear when the center will be able to suit up again, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Per Aaronson, Nurse said he doesn't "want to anticipate anything" regarding Embiid's return timeline, but the coach didn't rule out the superstar big man suiting up during Philadelphia's upcoming three-game road trip, which starts Tuesday in Denver and ends Saturday in Utah. Embiid has already missed seven consecutive contests, and given Nurse's comments, the seven-time All-Star looks poised to miss at least the next two home games. With Andre Drummond and Adem Bona day-to-day with back issues, Dominick Barlow and Trendon Watford are candidates for increased roles in the frontcourt moving forward.

Drummond (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Drummond will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a back injury, and he'll look to be available for the second leg of the Sixers' back-to-back set against the Trail Blazers on Sunday. Joel Embiid continues to be sidelined by an oblique strain, and if Adem Bona (back) is unable to play Saturday, then Dominick Barlow would be slated to start at center for a second consecutive game.

Clingan produced 21 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, six blocks and three steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 124-114 win over the Jazz.

The double-double was the 27th of the season for Clingan and his fourth in six March games. The second-year center has become an absolute beast on the glass, and through 10 contests since the All-Star break he's averaging 13.7 points, 12.0 boards, 2.6 assists, 2.3 blocks, 1.4 threes and 1.1 steals while shooting 51.6 percent from the floor.

Porzingis notched 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Friday's 127-117 loss to the Timberwolves.

In his fourth game with the Warriors, Porzingis made his first start and reached 20 points for the first time. In a curious reversal of fortune, the 30-year-old center might be the healthiest member of his team's frontcourt right now -- Draymond Green (back) didn't play Friday, and both Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (ankle) left the contest early. Expect Porzingis to get as many minutes as he can handle until the roster gets some reinforcements.

Hansen played the final 48.9 seconds of Friday's 124-114 win over the Jazz, finishing with no statistics during his time on the court.

Recalled from the G League's Rip City Remix prior to Friday's contest, Hansen was unable to crack the Portland rotation while the game was competitive. Even though the Trail Blazers were without their top backup center in Robert Williams (knee) on Friday, interim head coach Tiago Splitter opted to run out small-ball lineups when starting center Donovan Clingan was off the court. Hansen looks like he'll continue to receive limited run at the NBA level for the rest of the season while he's yet to gain full trust of the coaching staff.

Gobert posted 18 points (5-5 FG, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 127-117 victory over the Warriors.

The veteran center came up one board short of his 28th double-double of the season. Gobert isn't seeing much of the ball this month -- he's scored in double digits only three times in seven March games so far, averaging 10.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks despite shooting 73.5 percent from the floor.

Richards registered 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 30 minutes during Friday's 119-108 loss to the Clippers.

Richards moved into the starting lineup for the first time since joining the Bulls, filling in for Jalen Smith, who was given the night off as part of his injury-management plan. Richards has now tallied double-digit points in four straight games, averaging 11.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks during that time.

Post won't return to Friday's game against Minnesota due to a left ankle sprain. He finished with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 11 minutes.

Post will join fellow big men Draymond Green (back) and Al Horford (calf) on the sideline for the remainder of the contest, leaving Kristaps Porzingis and Gui Santos to pick up the slack. Post's next opportunity to play will come in New York on Sunday, but if available, he could be outside of the rotation so long as Green, Horford and Porzingis are able to suit up.

Zubac contributed 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 101-92 loss to the Knicks.

Zubac made his second appearance for Indiana, and he saw a big jump in playing time after logging only 16 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Suns. The 29-year-old big man's availability might be sporadic for the last-place Pacers down the stretch, but he should remain quite effective when available. Dating back to his time with the Clippers, Zubac has averaged 10.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.6 minutes per tilt across his last seven games while shooting a robust 70.5 percent from the field.
