Sarr (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

The Wizards are sitting multiple players Saturday for the first leg of this back-to-back set. Washington has been cautious with all of its key players in recent weeks, and that's a trend that is likely to continue. Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Will Riley could all see more run as a result Saturday.

Coulibaly (lower back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Coulibaly is dealing with lower-back soreness that will prevent him from playing Saturday, and he'll work toward being available for the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Sunday against the Heat. The Wizards have multiple players sidelined due to injuries or having been recently acquired before the trade deadline, so Bub Carrington, Sharife Cooper, Jamir Watkins, Justin Champagnie and Will Riley are slated for increased roles against Brooklyn.

Powell is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards with a right hand sprain.

Powell picked up this injury during Friday's game against the Celtics, but he was able to finish the contest after X-rays came back negative. Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and it's possible the team exercises some caution here.

Adebayo is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Wizards due to right hip tightness.

Adebayo may have tweaked his hip during the Heat's 98-96 loss to the Celtics on Friday, when he finished with 16 points (5-13 FG, 4-6 FT, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes. The injury doesn't appear to be a severe one given the probable tag, though the Heat are playing three games over the next four days, including a back-to-back set with the Wizards and Jazz on Sunday and Monday, respectively. Kel'el Ware would stand to see a sizable jump in minutes if Adebayo were to miss any time prior to the All-Star break.

Larsson (elbow) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Larsson didn't return to Friday's 98-96 loss to the Celtics after exiting with 5:01 remaining in the second quarter due to a right elbow contusion. It sounds like the Heat will be cautious for the first leg of this back-to-back set, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to play the following day against the Jazz.

Tillman (recently traded) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Tillman was set to make his debut with the Hornets on Saturday after being taken off Friday's injury report, but the most recent report indicates that he is not with the team. His next chance to play is Monday against the Pistons.

Barrett (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Barrett will reclaim his usual spot in the starting lineup after getting Thursday off for maintenance. The forward was frequently mentioned in the rumor mill at the trade deadline, but the Raptors didn't make any major changes.

Jackson-Davis (recently traded) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jackson-Davis was acquired by the Raptors from the Warriors on Wednesday in exchange for a second-round pick, and the third-year center is ready to make his debut with his new team Sunday. He averaged 4.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists over 11.4 minutes per game with the Warriors this season, though his playing time fluctuated over the course of the season. It'll be interesting to see what Jackson-Davis' role with the Raptors will be, especially with Jakob Poeltl (back) nearing a return from an extended absence, during which Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles both took on expanded roles.

Quickley sprained his ankle during Saturday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

It doesn't appear to be a severe injury given that he has not been ruled out for Sunday's contest, but it does put him in jeopardy of missing at least one of the Raptors' final two games before the All-Star break. Jamal Shead would likely enter the starting lineup if Quickley is unable to play.

Thompson is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder due to an illness.

Thompson's late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Saturday, but his official status will be known closer to the 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. If the third-year pro is unable to go, then Reed Sheppard, Aaron Holiday, JD Davison and Josh Okogie would be the candidates to enter the Rockets' starting lineup.
