NBA Player News

Yabusele exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Wizards due to an apparent left shoulder injury, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Yabusele appeared to bump into another player and grabbed his left shoulder before heading to the locker room. He should be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Highsmith (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Highsmith is slated for a 12th straight absence while dealing with a right knee injury. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive in the regular-season finale Sunday against Oklahoma City, though it's unclear at this time whether he's nearing a return.

Allen (quadriceps) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Allen missed Wednesday's win over Dallas due to a right quadriceps contusion, but he's set to return to action Friday. With Jordan Goodwin (ankle) and Devin Booker (ankle) out, Allen will likely see an uptick in playing time against the Lakers. He has averaged 11.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 24.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Krejci (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Krejci is in danger of missing a 13th straight game, though the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable is a sign he's trending in the right direction. Portland should have another update on his availability closer to tipoff.

Goodwin (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Goodwin exited Wednesday's win over the Mavericks early and will now miss Friday's contest due to a sprained left ankle. His next chance to play will come in Sunday's regular-season finale in Oklahoma City. With Goodwin out, Grayson Allen, Ryan Dunn and Collin Gillespie are candidates for increased playing time.

Sharpe (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Sharpe had a small chance to return for Wednesday's game against San Antonio. However, he was ultimately ruled out. If Sharpe can get back on the floor Friday after missing the last two months, his workload will presumably be lighter than usual, meaning Scoot Henderson might remain in the starting lineup.

Williams (rest) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Lakers.

Williams got the night off Wednesday against Dallas, which provided Khaman Maluach an opportunity to start at center. However, Williams should step right back into the starting job Friday night after being omitted from the Suns' injury report.

Green (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Green was unable to return to Wednesday's game after picking up a knee injury, so the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable ahead of Friday's tilt is a promising sign. The team will presumably monitor him closely in shootaround and warmups to determine whether he can step onto the court in LA.

Bassey (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Bassey will shake off his probable tag due to a sprained left ankle and suit up for the shorthanded Warriors. The big man logged 27 minutes in Tuesday's win over Sacramento and will likely retain significant playing time due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) being sidelined.

Cryer (illness) will play Thursday against the Lakers.

Cryer will make his return to the hardwood Thursday after missing Golden State's previous two matchups due to an illness. He figures to get some run off the bench with Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined.
