Scoot Henderson PG | POR
Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Chips in 15 in Thursday's win
Henderson had 15 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 20 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Jazz.
Playing both halves of a back-to-back for the first time since recovering from a torn hamstring and making his season debut Feb. 6, Henderson saw a muted workload but put together a productive night. The third-year guard will likely remain with the second unit on the other side of the All-Star break as long as Jrue Holiday remains healthy, but Henderson at least appears to be ready to make a consistent contribution.

Making his seventh straight start in February, Grant turned in a solid performance ahead of the All-Star break. The 31-year-old forward is averaging 19.0 points, 3.1 boards, 2.7 threes, 2.0 assists and 1.0 combined steals and blocks in 29.9 minutes on the month.

Celtics' Amari Williams: Recalled to NBA
Boston recalled Williams from the G League's Maine Celtics on Thursday.
Williams has rejoined the parent club after a solid G League performance in which he tallied 29 points, seven rebounds and five blocks against the Motor City Cruise. The center will now aim to earn a place in the first team's rotation, although he may not play a huge role, having made just two starts while averaging 2.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game at the NBA level in 2026.

Lakers' LeBron James: Secures historic triple-double
James tallied 28 points (10-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists and one block in 35 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over the Mavericks.
James made NBA history Thursday by becoming the oldest player to record a triple-double, per Dan Woike of The Athletic. His stellar all-around performance powered the Lakers to a victory, as he shot the basketball with efficiency from the field and dished out double-digit assists for a fourth straight outing. James will cruise into the All-Star break having averaged 22.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.0 steals in his last six matchups.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Departs with ankle soreness
Gafford won't return to Thursday's game against the Lakers due to right ankle soreness. He tallied two points (1-2 FG), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 28 minutes.
Gafford was ruled out late in the fourth quarter with the game already decided, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact on his team's rotation. The 27-year-old will have over a week to rest going into the All-Star break, with his next chance to take the court arriving Feb. 20 in Minnesota.

Naji Marshall SG | DAL
Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Exits with foot injury
Marshall has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a left foot strain. He collected 19 points (8-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 29 minutes.
Marshall was dealing with a left foot issue heading into Thursday's game, so it appears he may have aggravated the injury. Fortunately, the Mavs don't play again until Feb. 20, leaving him ample time to rest up.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Delivers monster night in win
Clingan collected 23 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 18 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks across 31 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 victory over the Jazz.
Clingan posted a strong shooting performance, drilling 66.7 percent of his field-goal attempts on the night. He finished second on his club in scoring behind Jrue Holiday's 31 points, and Clingan dominated on the boards for a team-high 18 rebounds while also setting a new career high with his seven assists. He's now secured four double-doubles in seven February appearances.

Jrue Holiday PG | POR
Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Cruises to 31-point night
Holiday produced 31 points (10-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 victory over the Jazz.
Holiday put forth a strong all-around performance, which was good enough to lead the team in scoring while falling one rebound shy of a double-double. He combined with Donovan Clingan for 54 points as the duo powered Portland to a victory. This marks the first time Holiday has reached the 30-point threshold through 27 games this season.

Holmgren had 16 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 loss to Milwaukee.
Holmgren couldn't get his shot to fall from beyond the arc, but that didn't stop him from scoring in double digits for a 14th straight game. He also produced on the boards and led the Thunder with 13 rebounds. Holmgren has now recorded four double-doubles in his last five matchups.

Isaiah Joe SG | OKC
Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Solid showing in loss
Joe posted 17 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 loss to the Bucks.
Joe earned his third start of the season and stepped up on the offensive end while the Thunder were without several key weapons. He's been dialed in from deep lately, where he's knocked down 17 of his last 31 tries (54.8 percent) over his previous four appearances.
