Davis (face) went back to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Raptors after taking a blow to the face, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis exited the game in the third quarter after taking an inadvertent shot to the face. If he is unable to return, Jaxson Hayes will likely pick up minutes at the center position.

Nurkic will not return to Sunday's game against the Kings due to an ankle injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Nurkic came into the game with an ankle injury which he seemingly aggravated before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Nurkic will finish with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes of action.

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

Hayes carried a probable designation into Sunday's contest due to left knee soreness, but he will officially be available. In his last four games off the bench, Hayes has averaged 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 14.8 minutes per game.

Davis (foot) will play during Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Davis has been dealing with plantar fasciitis of late but he will be able to suit up Sunday. Considering Davis was able to play 35 minutes in the team's last contest, there should be no limitations on the star big man.

Holmgren (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Warriors, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Holmgren was helped to the locker room in the first quarter after landing on his right hip while attempting a block on Andrew Wiggins. Given the hard fall, it wouldn't be surprising if Holmgren is held out Monday against the Clippers. Isaiah Joe was inserted into the Thunder's starting five in the second half in Holmgren's absence.

Castleton (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Castleton carried a questionable tag into Sunday's bout due to a left ankle sprain, but he will ultimately be able to suit up. His availability likely holds no fantasy implications.

Holmgren (leg) went to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Warriors, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Holmgren hit the floor hard after attempting a block on Andrew Wiggins in the first quarter of Sunday's game. He wasn't able to put any pressure on his leg, and he was eventually helped back to the locker room by Isaiah Hartenstein (hand). If Holmgren is sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game, Ousmane Dieng would figure to see more minutes at center.

Nurkic (ankle) will play during Sunday's game against the Kings.

Nurkic carried a questionable tag into Sunday's game due to left ankle soreness, but he will be able to play through the injury. Nurkic holds averages of 13.3 points, 14.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 29.8 minutes per game over his last four contests.

Kleber (hamstring) will play during Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Kleber was deemed doubtful ahead of Sunday's contest, but he will shed his injury designation and suit up. Kleber could find himself in a significant role due to Dereck Lively (shoulder) and P.J. Washington (knee) being out of the lineup.

Lively (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports.

Lively will be sidelined for a fourth straight game due to a right shoulder sprain. Dwight Powell should see an increase in minutes off the bench behind starting center Daniel Gafford. Lively's next chance at playing will be Tuesday against the Warriors.
