  • John Collins PF | LAC

    Clippers' John Collins: Plays 20 minutes in return

    Collins recorded 10 points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one block over 20 minutes during the Clippers' 118-109 loss to the Kings on Saturday.

    Collins came off the bench in his return from a seven-game absence due to a neck strain. He was limited to 20 minutes, and he could operate under a minutes restriction in the short term as he works his way back to NBA-level conditioning. Since the start of the new calendar year, Collins has averaged 15.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.8 threes, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals over 28.6 minutes per game.

  • Norman Powell SG | MIA

    Heat's Norman Powell: Posts 20 points in return

    Powell logged 20 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal over 31 minutes during the Heat's 121-117 loss to the Magic on Saturday.

    Powell came off the bench in his return from a seven-game absence due to a right groin strain. Despite the extended absence, he didn't operate under a minutes restriction and finished as the Heat's second-leading scorer behind Jaime Jaquez (22 points). It wouldn't be surprising to see Powell back in Miami's starting lineup as soon as Tuesday against Charlotte. Such a move would likely result in Pelle Larsson or Kel'el Ware reverting to the bench.

  • Tyler Kolek PG | NY

    Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Back to NBA

    New York recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Saturday.

    Kolek will be available for the parent club Sunday against Golden State following a short assignment in the G League. He's played nine minutes or fewer in each of the Knicks' 13 games since the All-Star break and is unlikely to be featured in the rotation.

  • Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Recalled to NBA

    New York recalled Hukporti from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Saturday.

    Hukporti is back with the parent team after recording 12 points, four rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 25 minutes Saturday in the G League Westchester Knicks' loss to the Noblesville Boom. The second-year center is unlikely to see meaningful action Sunday against the Warriors now that Karl-Anthony Towns has recovered from a knee issue.

  • Ousmane Dieng SF | MIL

    Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Could return Sunday

    Dieng (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Indiana.

    Dieng sat out Saturday's 122-99 loss against the Hawks, but there is a chance that he could return for the back leg of the Bucks' back-to-back set Sunday. Kevin Porter (knee) has already been ruled out, so Ryan Rollins, AJ Green and Taurean Prince would be in line for even more minutes if Dieng is also unavailable.

  • Bobby Portis PF | MIL

    Bucks' Bobby Portis: Back on injury report

    Portis is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to a back strain.

    Portis was sidelined Tuesday against Phoenix due to a back injury, but he's suited up in two straight games, totaling 33 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 53 minutes. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), Myles Turner (knee) and Ousmane Dieng (illness) also questionable, Milwaukee's frontcourt could be extremely shorthanded versus Indiana.

  • PJ Washington PF | DAL

    Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Trending toward playing Sunday

    Washington (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

    Washington initially drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game due to left ankle soreness, an injury that prevented him from playing Friday. It looks as though the veteran forward will be available, and his return would likely bump Naji Marshall or Ryan Nembhard from the Mavericks' starting lineup. Washington has averaged 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 threes over 29.7 minutes per game since March 1.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Questionable for Sunday

    Turner is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to right patella tendonitis.

    Turner posted eight points, six rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Hawks and is in danger of missing the second night of Milwaukee's back-to-back set, which would be his first absence since Feb. 20. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), Bobby Portis (back) and Ousmane Dieng (illness) also questionable, Jericho Sims, Pete Nance and Kyle Kuzma could be candidates for heavy workloads Sunday.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Iffy for Sunday

    Antetokounmpo (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

    Antetokounmpo sat out Saturday's loss to Atlanta and is in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. He missed 15 straight games due to a right calf strain from Jan. 27 to March 1, but he suited up for five of Milwaukee's previous six contests before this current weekend back-to-back set, averaging 27.8 minutes a night. It's unclear if the superstar forward aggravated the injury or if the Bucks are being overly cautious after falling out of the Play-In picture.

  • Kevin Porter PG | MIL

    Bucks' Kevin Porter: Not playing Sunday

    Porter has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to right knee synovitis.

    Porter was cleared to play the front end of the Bucks' back-to-back set Saturday against the Hawks, when he logged 18 points, seven assists, seven rebounds, two steals and one block over 30 minutes in a 122-99 loss. He'll sit for Sunday's contest, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the Cavaliers. Ryan Rollins should take on a larger role offensively in Porter's absence.
