Bey (rest) will remain out for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

Bey will end up sitting out New Orleans' final three regular-season games for rest purposes, which should continue to lead to more minutes for Micah Peavy and Josh Oduro. Bey scored a career-high 17.7 points per game on 45.1 percent shooting from the field and 84.1 percent from the free-throw line in his first season with the Pelicans.

Filipowski (back) will not play in Sunday's season finale against the Lakers.

Two consecutive absences will end Filipowski's second season in the NBA. He improved on most of his numbers from his rookie season and was especially potent down the stretch. After the All-Star break, he averaged 15.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.5 minutes.

Harkless (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Harkless will miss a seventh consecutive contest due to a left hamstring strain. The two-way player will finish the season with averages of 6.8 points, 2.9 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 21.0 minutes per game over 26 regular-season outings (nine starts).

Williamson (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Williamson has missed the last two games, and with New Orleans eliminated from postseason contention, it is easy to understand why he isn't suiting up for the final game of the 2025-26 campaign. Without Williamson in the lineup, Derik Queen will likely receive as many minutes as he can handle.

George (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lakers.

A hamstring injury caused George to miss 15 consecutive games to end the campaign. However, it was an excellent third season for the talented guard, as he averaged 23.6 points, 6.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes per contest.

Markkanen (hip) will not play in Sunday's season finale against the Lakers.

As expected, Markkanen will sit out the final game of the season. He ended the campaign having last played Feb. 23. Despite playing just 42 games, Markkanen had what could be considered a bounceback season -- at least in the box score. In his 34.4 minutes per game, he averaged 26.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals.

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

Sensabaugh took a seat for Friday's win over Memphis but will return to action in Utah's regular-season finale. He has started each of his last seven appearances, during which he has averaged 22.4 points, 4.4 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per contest.

Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Warriors.

Jackson hasn't played since March 27, and his Sunday absence will mark the end of his regular season, though the Clippers have qualified for the Play-In Tournament. In his 17 appearances with the Clippers following his trade from the Pacers, Jackson averaged 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks in 15.9 minutes.

Hayes (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Hayes is in danger of missing a fourth straight game due to a left foot issue. If the big man is ruled out, Maxi Kleber and Jarred Vanderbilt would be candidates for increased playing time.

Sexton (finger, elbow) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Dallas.

Although the Bulls aren't going to the postseason, Sexton is expected to suit up for Chicago's final contest of the 2025-26 campaign. He is coming off a 12-point effort in Friday's 127-103 loss to Orlando. However, Sexton has an excellent chance to turn it around against one of the worst teams in the NBA.
