Missi is out for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a strained left calf.

Missi was sidelined for New Orleans' final outing before the All-Star break with left calf soreness, which has since been downgraded to a strain. Saturday's matchup versus the 76ers marks the second-year big man's next opportunity to play. Karlo Matkovic and Kevon Looney should make up a timeshare for the backup center minutes behind Derik Queen on Friday.

Peavy (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Peavy will miss a second straight game while dealing with a right toe sprain. His next chance to take the court will arrive Saturday against Philly.

Murphy is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a right shoulder contusion.

Murphy exited New Orleans' Feb. 11 loss to Miami due to the right shoulder issue and is expected to miss the first outing following the All-Star break. If he's ultimately ruled out, Bryce McGowens and Jeremiah Fears would be candidates for increased roles, while Jordan Hawkins could enter the rotation.

Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Antetokounmpo will miss his 10th consecutive contest due to a right calf strain, though the superstar said Saturday that he feels "100 percent" healthy, so perhaps he'll return in the near future. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Toronto. In the meantime, Jericho Sims, Ousmane Dieng and Bobby Portis are candidates for increased minutes.

Turner (calf) is out for Friday's game against New Orleans.

Turner picked up a calf injury prior to Milwaukee's last game before the All-Star break, and he's slated to miss a second straight game after being ruled out for Friday. Look for Jericho Sims and Ousmane Dieng to step up in the frontcourt with both Turner and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined.

Rollins (foot) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Rollins had a bout of plantar fasciitis ahead of the All-Star break, but he's cleared to return from a two-game absence. Ousmane Dieng is the most likely option to revert back to the bench Friday. Rollins should continue to see a rise in playmaking duties as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is out, with Rollins averaging 19.5 points, 5.1 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 33.6 minutes per contest in his last 10 games.

Shannon (foot) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Shannon will be available to play in his first game since Dec. 25 after putting a left foot injury behind him. However, it remains to be seen how many opportunities he'll receive given his current spot in the rotation. Shannon is averaging 4.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 12.8 minutes through 22 regular-season games in 2025-26.

Flagg (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Flagg was spotted running off to the side during Thursday's practice, but he's not yet been cleared to play. Head coach Jason Kidd noted the rookie is being considered day-to-day moving forward. Flagg's next chance to suit up will arrive Sunday against the Pacers.

Young (knee/quadriceps) will be re-evaluated in one week, per NBA reporter Marc Stein.

The star guard is ramping up his on-court activities during his recovery from a right knee MCL sprain and right quadriceps contusion, but his Wizards debut isn't imminent. Until Young is finally ready to suit up again, Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson should continue to see a boost in ball-handling responsibilities on the other side of the All-Star break.

Davis (finger) has yet to be cleared for basketball activities and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Davis is "progressing as expected," but a return in the near future appears to be off the table. A previous report from Chris Haynes on Feb. 6 indicated that Davis will likely sit out the remainder of the season, and that is looking increasingly likely.
