Holmgren (rest) is off the injury report for Monday's game against New Orleans.

Holmgren sat out of Saturday's win over Memphis after returning from a 39-game absence due to a right iliac wing fracture in Wednesday's win over Toronto. The big man played 22 minutes during his return, and he'll likely continue to operate under a similar minutes restriction Monday.

Davis (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Sacramento.

Davis sustained the left adductor strain during his Mavericks debut in Saturday's win over the Rockets, and although the extent of the injury is yet to be determined, there are growing fears that Davis could be in for an extended absence, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports. With the superstar big man on the shelf, Naji Marshall, Dante Exum (Achilles) and Kessler Edwards are candidates for an uptick in playing time. Davis' next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Warriors.

Sarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Sarr is slated to miss a seventh straight game. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Pacers, which is Washington's final contest before the All-Star break. Richaun Holmes should continue to start in Sarr's absence.

Embiid had 27 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 loss to the Bucks.

Embiid posted his sixth outing with a double-double or better through just 16 regular-season appearances. The Sixers have been managing the superstar big man's playing time throughout the season due to concerns with his left knee, and Embiid said Sunday that he believes "It will likely take another surgery and a long recovery period" to get his knee on the right track, per Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com. The club will likely continue to limit the 30-year-old on back-to-back sets at the very least, and his status will be something to monitor closely moving forward.

Sengun didn't return to Sunday's 94-87 win over the Raptors due to a lumbar spasm and finished with zero points (0-3 FG) and three rebounds in three minutes.

The star big man checked out of the game with 8:44 remaining in the first quarter, paving the way for Jeff Green and Jock Landale to see extended run in the loss. Sengun will have until Wednesday's game against the Suns to recover. If Sengun is unable to play, Steven Adams (ankle) -- who sat out Sunday for maintenance purposes -- will likely receive the starting nod at center.

Bassey (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Washington, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Bassey will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a sprained MCL in his left knee. The big man's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus Boston.

Capela (undisclosed) is not on the Hawks' injury report for Monday's game against Orlando, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Capela is off the injury report following a seven-game absence due to a back issue and personal reasons. The big man will likely compete for playing time with Larry Nance behind starting center Onyeka Okongwu.

Porzingis (illness) is not listed on Boston's injury report for Monday's game against Miami, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Porzingis was a late scratch ahead of Saturday's win over the Knicks due to an illness but will return to action Monday. Jrue Holiday (shoulder) remains out, while Jayson Tatum (knee) and Jaylen Brown (knee) are questionable, so Porzingis may see extra usage Monday. Over his last eight games, Porzingis has averaged 20.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.0 steals in 29.4 minutes per game.

Zubac closed Saturday's 130-110 win over the Jazz with 26 points (13-16 FG), 15 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block over 33 minutes.

Zubac stuffed the stat sheet in his 32nd double-double of the season, recording a game-high mark in rebounds. The big man also tied Norman Powell with a game-best 26 points. Zubac is on pace for a career-best season, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 16.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 33.6 minutes per contest.

Clingan chipped in zero points (0-1 FG), five rebounds, three blocks and one steal over six minutes during Saturday's 114-98 loss to Minnesota.

Clingan made an immediate impact on the defensive end in his limited playing time, recording a game-high mark in swats. The rookie big man has seen a decline in minutes of late, averaging 1.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in only 10.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.
