Reaves (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Reaves was considered a possibility to return Sunday but will ultimately miss his 19th straight game due to a left calf strain. In his continued absence, Jake LaRavia, Marcus Smart and Gabe Vincent should keep seeing expanded opportunities. Reaves' next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Nets.

Edwards is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to back spasms.

Edwards dealt with back spasms to open the 2025-26 campaign, and the issue has seemingly resurfaced, putting his status for Monday in question. If he is unable to go, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark could see extra minutes.

Shannon (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Memphis.

Shannon will miss his 20th straight game due to a left foot abductor hallucis strain and remains without a clear timetable to return. Prior to going down with the injury, the 25-year-old saw inconsistent playing time, averaging 4.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game across 22 appearances.

Randle is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to left thumb soreness.

Randle is in jeopardy of missing his first game this season due to a left thumb injury, presumably sustained during Saturday's win over the Grizzlies. If he is forced to miss time, Naz Reid and Leonard Miller would be candidates for increased roles.

Mykhailiuk will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Mykhailiuk has started in each of his 41 appearances this season, but he will come off the bench Sunday, with Cody Williams and Isaiah Collier starting in the backcourt. Mykhailiuk has seen just 18.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances, so his role doesn't figure to be impacted much despite coming off the bench.

Collier is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Collier will step into the starting lineup Sunday with Keyonte George (ankle) sidelined. In six starts this season, Collier has averaged 10.8 points, 7.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 27.5 minutes per contest.

Filipowski won't start against the Raptors on Sunday.

Jusuf Nurkic (illness) will return to action Sunday, pushing Filipowski to the bench. Over 12 games off the bench in January, the second-year center averaged 8.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.8 minutes per contest.

Clifford will start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Clifford enters the starting lineup for the fourth time over the last five games, on this occasion due to the departure of Dennis Schroder via trade. In his previous three starts, Clifford posted averages of 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.0 minutes per contest.

Williams won't start against the Heat on Sunday.

With Nikola Vucevic (rest) back in action, Williams will slide to the second unit. Over 13 appearances off the bench in January, the sixth-year forward averaged 5.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 16.1 minutes per contest.

Jakucionis is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Jakucionis had started the Heat's previous six games but will slide back to the bench with Davion Mitchell (shoulder) returning to the lineup. The rookie has come off the bench in 16 of his 24 appearances this season, averaging 3.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.6 minutes per contest as a reserve.
