Middleton (knee) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Kings.

After missing Friday's loss to the Lakers for maintenance purposes, the veteran wing will be returning to the rotation Sunday. He'll be a name to watch at the upcoming trade deadline with the Wizards rumored to be sellers.

Markkanen (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Markkanen sat out Friday's loss to Brooklyn but is set to return to action Sunday. The 28-year-old forward appeared in just seven games in January, during which he averaged 26.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.0 combined steals-plus-blocks in 36.4 minutes per contest.

Bagley (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Bagley has received the green light to return from a five-game absence. With Alex Sarr (calf) questionable to play, Bagley is on the radar as a streaming option for Sunday's slate.

Vukcevic (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Kings.

Vukcevic will be sidelined for his ninth straight game and remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play comes Tuesday against the Knicks.

Reaves (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Reaves hasn't played since Dec. 25 due to a left calf strain but has a chance to return to action Sunday. The 27-year-old guard will likely operate under a minutes restriction in the short term once he's cleared to play, though his eventual return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Jake LaRavia, Marcus Smart and Gabe Vincent.

Sarr is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings with right calf soreness.

This is a new injury for Sarr, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. Marvin Bagley is no longer on the injury report for Washington, so he would be a solid streaming option in fantasy hoops if Sarr can't shake this questionable tag.

Johnson (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Kings.

Johnson will sit out a second straight game, and it's not a great sign for him that he's getting ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. In the meantime, it's likely that Bub Carrington continues to shoulder a massive workload in the backcourt.

LeVert (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

LeVert has missed the past six games for Detroit, but the veteran guard has been upgraded to day-to-day. If he's unable to return, the Pistons will likely continue to lean on Daniss Jenkins.

Cunningham (hip) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Cunningham is still dealing with right hip soreness but is likely to appear in his sixth consecutive contest. Over his last five outings, the star point guard has averaged 23.6 points, 9.6 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals while shooting 49.5 percent from the field in 34.6 minutes per contest.

Highsmith (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Highsmith has yet to appear in a game in 2025-26 while recovering from right knee surgery he underwent in August. He does not have a clear timeline for a return and should be considered week-to-week until Brooklyn offers an update on his progress.
