Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Warriors.

Jackson hasn't played since March 27, and his Sunday absence will mark the end of his regular season, though the Clippers have qualified for the Play-In Tournament. In his 17 appearances with the Clippers following his trade from the Pacers, Jackson averaged 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks in 15.9 minutes.

Hayes (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Hayes is in danger of missing a fourth straight game due to a left foot issue. If the big man is ruled out, Maxi Kleber and Jarred Vanderbilt would be candidates for increased playing time.

Olbrich (foot) is probable to play Sunday versus the Mavs.

Olbrich is dealing with bilateral plantar fasciitis, but it appears he plans to continue to push through the pain. The 22-year-old big man started in Friday's loss to the Magic and finished with six points, nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and two turnovers across 32 minutes.

Sengun (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Memphis.

Sengun will sit out Houston's regular-season finale, but he should be able to return for the start of the postseason. The star big man will end the regular season with averages of 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game across 72 appearances.

Horford (calf) registered 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two assists and one block in 18 minutes during Friday's 124-118 loss to the Kings.

Just as head coach Steve Kerr had promised heading into Friday's contest, Horford was on a restriction of 15-to-20 minutes and fell right between that range while suiting up for the first time since March 13. Though Horford didn't appear to have any setbacks in his return from the right soleus strain that kept him sidelined for 14 straight games, the Warriors may not have much motivation to aggressively ramp up his workload during Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Clippers. Golden State is already locked into the No. 10 seed and may prefer to preserve Horford's health heading into next week's Western Conference Play-In Tournament.

Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Jokic needs to suit up in Sunday's regular-season finale to reach the 65-game threshold for end-of-season awards, though there's a chance he will be held out. If the big man is cleared to play, he would likely see limited run, as the rest of Denver's usual starters have already been ruled out.

Turner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the 76ers.

Turner will sit out Milwaukee's regular-season finale, which should result in a start for Jericho Sims. Turner put up eighth-round value in his first season with the Bucks, posting averages of 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 triples and 1.6 blocks per game.

Hartenstein has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix due to left soleus injury management.

The Thunder are listing 10 players out for their regular-season finale, including Chet Holmgren (back) and Hartenstein. However, the veteran big man should be available for the start of the postseason. Branden Carlson and Kenrich Williams should see significant burn in the frontcourt once again Sunday.

Kornet (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Denver.

Kornet is dealing with right shoulder soreness and will miss San Antonio's regular-season finale. He'll finish the regular season with averages of 6.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks across 21.0 minutes per game in 68 regular-season appearances (25 starts).

Claxton (finger) is out for Sunday's game in Toronto, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

E.J. Liddell and Trevon Scott could again see significant minutes Sunday as the last men standing in Brooklyn's frontcourt. Claxton will end the season with averages of 11.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists (career-high figure) and 1.1 blocks per game.
