NBA Player News

Sasser (hip) is available for Thursday's game against Minnesota.

Sasser will shake off his questionable tag due to a right hip strain and suit up for a fifth consecutive contest. He has averaged 6.8 points and 2.5 assists across 13.3 minutes per tilt over the last four games.

Portis (wrist) is out for Friday's game against Boston.

Portis is slated for his sixth consecutive absence while rehabbing from a left wrist sprain. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Sunday against Memphis.

Kuzma (Achilles) is off the injury report for Friday's game versus the Celtics.

Kuzma is ready to return to the lineup Friday following a one-game absence with an Achilles issue. The veteran forward has averaged 14.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.2 minutes per contest over his last 10 games.

Edwards (knee/illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Detroit.

Edwards returned from a six-game absence for Monday's win over Dallas, finishing with 17 points, two rebounds and four assists in 23 minutes off the bench. However, he won't play Thursday, meaning his next chance to suit up will be Friday in Philadelphia. Without Edwards, Bones Hyland, Mike Conley and Ayo Dosunmu should all see more action, with two of those players expected to start now that Jaden McDaniels (knee) is out as well.

Rollins (hip) is probable for Friday's game against the Celtics.

This is a promising development for Rollins, who was held out Wednesday against the Rockets due to a right hip injury. Assuming he doesn't suffer any type of setback leading up to tipoff, all indications point to the 23-year-old suiting up Friday.

Turner (ankle) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Turner is set to return from a one-game absence with an ankle injury. The veteran big man has averaged 9.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 blocks in 24.5 minutes per tilt in his last 10 games.

Antetokounmpo (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Antetokounmpo will miss yet another contest while dealing with a bruised left knee. Milwaukee has yet to provide a timetable for return, so until that happens, he can be considered doubtful for Sunday against Memphis.

Williams (foot) remains listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets, but he's trending in the right direction and is expected to be cleared to play following pregame warmups Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Williams appears set to return from a 15-game absence due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot. Given the length of his absence, Williams will likely be operating with a minutes restriction and could come off the bench if he plays.

Bagley (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's game against Orlando.

Bagley had 26 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in the win over the Trail Blazers on March 27. However, he missed the following two contests and appears to be heading toward another absence. If Bagley doesn't suit up, Dwight Powell will likely see increased playing time.

Gonzalez (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Celtics' 147-129 win over the Heat.

The rookie first-round pick is averaging just 14.8 minutes per game, but he had been a consistent part of head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation throughout the season until he fell out of the mix Wednesday. Mazzulla ended up going with Baylor Scheierman (18 minutes) and Jordan Walsh (five minutes) as the team's reserve options on the wing and at forward, resulting in Gonzalez being handed his first DNP-CD since Nov. 29. Gonzalez could eventually re-emerge as an option in the second unit, but he's unlikely to be in line for extended playing time if he reclaims a rotation spot.
