Stephon Castle PG | SA
Spurs' Stephon Castle: Available versus Denver
Castle (foot) will play in Sunday's game against Denver, Raul Dominguez Jr. of the Associated Press reports.
Castle will suit up after missing San Antonio's previous two contests. The Spurs are locked into the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, so there's a good chance Castle will see a reduced workload.

Brandon Williams PG | DAL
Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Ruled out Sunday
Williams (illness) is unavailable for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Williams will now miss a fourth consecutive contest, marking the end of a career-best 2025-26 campaign. Without the 26-year-old, extra minutes will presumably be absorbed by Ryan Nembhard and AJ Johnson. Williams started 15 of his 66 appearances, and overall he averaged 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 22.2 minutes per game.

Moussa Cisse C | DAL
Mavericks' Moussa Cisse: Available against Bulls
Cisse (two-way) is available for Sunday's game against Chicago.
The Mavericks are running thin for the final regular-season game of the 2025-26 campaign, so Cisse's services will be necessary. The 23-year-old has been in the lineup for Dallas in the last two games, combining for 18 points, 17 rebounds, two steals and four blocks across 41 minutes of action.

Marvin Bagley III C | DAL
Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Won't play against Bulls
Bagley (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Bagley has started each of Dallas' last two games, though he exited Friday's loss to the Spurs after logging just eight minutes. With Daniel Gafford (rest) and P.J. Washington (elbow) also sidelined, Moussa Cisse will likely see an expanded role. Bagley will finish the campaign with averages of 10.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 20.0 minutes per tilt across 60 regular-season appearances (12 starts) between the Mavericks and Wizards.

PJ Washington PF | DAL
Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Won't play Sunday
Washington (elbow) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Washington was listed as doubtful, although his confirmed absence isn't a surprise, considering he missed the last three games while appearing in only one of Dallas' previous seven contests. With Naji Marshall (hip) and Caleb Martin (foot) also unavailable, Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson are expected to receive expanded roles.
-
Caleb Martin SF | DAL
Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Unavailable versus Chicago
Martin (heel) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Martin hasn't played since the 130-120 win over the Cavaliers on March 15, so his absence Sunday officially marks the end of his season. With Naji Marshall (hip) and P.J. Washington (elbow) also unavailable, Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson are in line for enhanced roles.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Ruled out versus Chicago
Marshall (hip) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Marshall won't play in Sunday's contest against Chicago, marking his third consecutive absence and the end of his 2025-26 campaign. Without him, Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton are in line to see more minutes while receiving additional scoring opportunities.

Nikola Jokic C | DEN
Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Will play in regular-season finale
Jokic (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
While the rest of Denver's usual starters sit out Sunday's regular-season finale, Jokic will suit up in an effort to reach the 65-game threshold for end-of-season awards. Head coach David Adelman said pregame that the superstar will play the first half as usual before being evaluated ahead of the second half, per Matt Guzman of SI.com.

Krejci (calf) is listed as available for Sunday's game against Sacramento, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portlandreports.

Matisse Thybulle SF | POR
Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Will play Sunday
Thybulle (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's game versus Sacramento, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Thybulle was being listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. Thybulle is averaging 5.8 points, 1.2 triples and 2.1 steals per game this season.
