    Warriors' Seth Curry: Out with adductor strain

    Curry is out for Sunday's game versus the Knicks with a left adductor strain.

    Curry left Friday's loss against the Timberwolves due to left adductor soreness, which has since been diagnosed as a strain. It's unclear if the veteran guard is facing an extended absence, though his void in the lineup shouldn't have a major impact on the Golden State rotation.

  • Moses Moody SG | GS

    Warriors' Moses Moody: Won't play Sunday

    Moody is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks with a right wrist sprain.

    Moody is sidelined for a sixth consecutive contest, but he's set to join the Warriors for their upcoming six-game road trip. The swingman's continued absence Sunday frees up more playing time for names like Will Richard, Pat Spencer and Gary Payton in Golden State's injury-ravaged backcourt.

  • Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Ruled out for Sunday

    Porzingis (illness management) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

    Porzingis will sit out the first leg of the Warriors' back-to-back set as the team continues to manage his recovery from a persistent illness. While he notched a season-high 20 points in his first start for Golden State on Friday, the medical staff is sticking to a strict maintenance plan to navigate his illness. By resting him Sunday, the Warriors aim to have him available for Monday's matchup against the Wizards.

  • Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Sitting out Sunday

    Melton is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to left knee injury management.

    Melton is sitting out the first half of this back-to-back set. The likes of Pat Spencer, Will Richard and Gary Payton could all see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues for the depleted Warriors on Sunday.

  • Dylan Harper PG | SA

    Spurs' Dylan Harper: Not playing Saturday

    Harper (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

    The rookie first-rounder will miss his first game since Feb. 4 while recovering from a right calf contusion, and his next chance to play is Monday against the Clippers. In Harper's absence, Jordan McLaughlin and Keldon Johnson are both candidates to see more minutes off the bench in Saturday's home tilt.

  • Kevin Porter PG | MIL

    Bucks' Kevin Porter: Available Saturday

    Porter (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Porter is officially cleared to play in the first leg of the Bucks' back-to-back set after dealing with right knee synovitis. He is expected to handle a heavy workload this afternoon with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) ruled out. However, given Porter's recent four-game absence and the quick turnaround for Sunday's home game against the Pacers, Porter is a strong candidate to sit out the second leg of the back-to-back for injury management.

  • Ousmane Dieng SF | MIL

    Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Ruled out Saturday

    Dieng is out for Saturday's game against the Hawks due to an illness, per Eric Nehm of The Athletic.

    After leaving Thursday's loss to the Heat with the ailment, Dieng isn't feeling well enough to play Saturday and faces a short turnaround for Sunday's matchup with Indiana. His absence vacates a spot in the Bucks' starting lineup at shooting guard, which is likely to be filled by either AJ Green or Ryan Rollins.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Ruled out Saturday

    Antetokounmpo (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Hawks, per Eric Nehm of The Athletic.

    Antetokounmpo will sit out the first half of the Bucks' back-to-back set as the team continues to manage his right calf injury. In his absence, Bobby Portis and Jericho Sims are expected to handle the bulk of the frontcourt minutes. Antetokounmpo's next chance to return will be Sunday's home matchup against the Pacers.

  • Aaron Holiday PG | HOU

    Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Moves out of rotation

    Holiday (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Rockets' 107-105 win over the Pelicans.

    The Rockets didn't have Alperen Sengun (back) available Friday, but his absence wasn't enough for Holiday to stick around in the rotation. After Holiday had averaged 9.5 minutes per game while appearing in each of the past four games, he ended up ceding his spot in the Rockets' nine-man rotation to Jeff Green (nine minutes), with head coach Ime Udoka opting to add more size to the second unit while Dorian Finney-Smith replaced Sengun in the starting five.

  • Sidy Cissoko SG | POR

    Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Rejoins rotation Friday

    Cissoko tallied 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 17 minutes Friday in the Trail Blazers' 124-114 win over the Jazz.

    Cissoko saw a streak of 10 consecutive appearances come to an end when he went unused off the bench in the Trail Blazers' two-point loss to the Hornets on Tuesday, but he was able to reclaim a spot in the rotation Friday while Robert Williams (knee) sat out. Cissoko fared well during his time on the court, but he may nonetheless find himself back outside of the rotation Sunday in Philadelphia if Williams is cleared to play.
