McGowens is out for Saturday's game against Cleveland due to a right toe fracture.

McGowens is running his absence streak up to six contests Saturday. His next opportunity to retake the floor arrives Tuesday in New York versus the Knicks, but McGowens appears to be out indefinitely.

Reaves is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic due to left hip soreness.

The hip issue is a new concern for Reaves, who hasn't missed a game since Feb. 10. If the 27-year-old guard is ultimately ruled out, Jake LaRavia, Rui Hachimura and Luke Kennard would be candidates to take on expanded roles.

The Lakers assigned Thiero to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Friday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

Thiero continues to bounce back and forth between the G League and the NBA. The rookie forward has a much clearer path to consistent developmental reps with South Bay.

Carlson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Washington.

Carlson will miss an 11th consecutive contest due to a lower-back strain, and he remains without a clear timetable for a return. He can be considered doubtful for Monday's game against the 76ers until Oklahoma City provides an update on his status.

Dort (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Dort skipped Wednesday's win over Brooklyn for rest purposes, but he'll be back in action Saturday, which will likely result in Ajay Mitchell or Cason Wallace heading back to the second unit. Dort is averaging 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 triples per game this season.

Salaun is out for Saturday's game against Memphis due to a left calf strain.

Salaun is now set to be sidelined for a ninth consecutive contest Saturday. His next opportunity to play comes Tuesday versus Sacramento, though Salaun holds no definitive timetable for a return to action.

Hartenstein (calf) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Hartenstein is set to return from a rest day, which should result in Aaron Wiggins heading back to the second unit. Hartenstein is averaging 9.7 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game this season.

Martin is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers due to a bruised right heel.

Martin is at risk of missing a third consecutive contest with the issue. If the veteran forward is unable to play once again, Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson could pick up a few extra minutes on the wing Saturday.

Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Williams hasn't played since Feb. 11 due to a right hamstring strain and remains without a clear timetable for a return. The star forward should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Thunder offer an update on his progress. His next opportunity to play will come in Philadelphia on Monday.

Williams is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers due to a concussion.

Williams is remaining in the league's concussion protocol for a second consecutive contest. His next chance to play comes Monday, when the Mavericks face the Warriors. Max Christie appears to be worth streaming in shallow fantasy formats and Ryan Nembhard in deeper settings Saturday.
