Doncic (ankle) will play Friday against the Wizards, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers, but he'll power through it and make himself available for Friday's game. Make sure you've got Doncic active for Friday's favorable matchup with the Wizards.

Green is probable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to left Achilles tendinopathy.

Green is dealing with some pain in his left Achilles, but it's not expected to keep him out of Saturday's game. Check back closer to tipoff for official word on Green's status.

Marshall (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Marshall sat out Thursday's loss to the Hornets -- the second leg of a back-to-back -- due to rest purposes. However, he's set to return to action Saturday. The 28-year-old forward has started each of his last 11 appearances, averaging 19.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 32.0 minutes per tilt during that span. With Marshall returning to the lineup, there will be fewer minutes available for Caleb Martin and Klay Thompson.

Williams (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Williams sat out of the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back set Thursday against the Mavericks for maintenance purposes, but the veteran forward has been cleared to play in Saturday's contest. He was cleared to return Jan. 10 after fully progressing from a torn ACL in his right knee he sustained in December 2024, and since returning he is averaging 4.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 17.4 minutes per game.

Grimes (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Grimes has missed two straight games due to a right ankle sprain but is likely to suit up Saturday. The 25-year-old guard has struggled with efficiency of late, averaging 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 40.6 percent from the field and 22.9 percent from deep in 24.5 minutes per game across his last 10 appearances.

Johnson (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game in Indiana.

Johnson sat out Thursday's loss to the Rockets due to the calf issue, and now he's in danger of missing his second straight game. If Johnson sits again, that Vit Krejci would have another chance to start, and guys like Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum would be asked to step it up on offense.

Risacher (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Risacher has missed Atlanta's last 11 games due to a left knee bone bruise, though he's seemingly trending in the right direction. If the second-year forward isn't cleared to return, there will be more minutes available for Luke Kennard and Corey Kispert.

Porter is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns due to left knee soreness.

Porter is in jeopardy of missing his sixth game of the season and first since Christmas Day against the Knicks. He's averaging 17.6 minutes per game in a reserve role this season, and those minutes would likely be absorbed by Lonzo Ball and Tyrese Proctor if Porter is not cleared to play Friday.

Sochan (quad) has been ruled out for Saturday's game in Charlotte.

This will be Sochan's second straight missed game due to injury. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Magic.

Champagnie (eye) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game in Charlotte.

Champagnie was forced out of Wednesday's win over Houston after he got poked in the eye, but it looks like that will be a non-issue moving forward, considering he's not even being listed on the injury report. Champagnie is averaging 11.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.5 triples per game this season.
