Terance Mann SG | BKN
Nets' Terance Mann: Ruled out for Sunday

Mann will sit out his fifth straight game Sunday. Ochai Agbaji, Drake Powell and Malachi Smith will help pick up the slack with Mann sidelined.

Victor Wembanyama C | SA
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Questionable for Sunday
Wembanyama (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
Although Wembanyama has already reached the 65-game threshold for end-of-season awards thanks to his appearance in the NBA Cup title game, he could still suit up in San Antonio's regular-season finale. The star big man would likely be limited if he's cleared to suit up, as he's still dealing with left ribcage soreness after sustaining a rib contusion in Monday's win over the 76ers.

Josh Minott SF | BKN
Nets' Josh Minott: Ruled out for Sunday
Minott (ankle) won't play Sunday in Toronto, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
This will be Minott's third consecutive game on the inactive list. Expect more minutes for E.J. Liddell and Jalen Wilson with Minott out.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SG | OKC
Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Won't play Sunday
Gilgeous-Alexander (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns.
The Thunder are listing 10 players out for Sunday's regular-season finale, including Gilgeous-Alexander. However, the superstar should be good to go by the playoffs. Nikola Topic and Jared McCain should see significant minutes in the backcourt once again Sunday.

Dean Wade PF | CLE
Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Out for Sunday
Wade (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Wizards.
The Cavs will sit out their entire starting lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale, so guys like Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter could see massive upticks in usage. This is just a maintenance day for Wade, so he should get cleared when the playoffs begin.
-
Dennis Schroder PG | CLE
Cavaliers' Dennis Schroder: Won't play Sunday
Schroder (rest) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
The 32-year-old guard will skip Cleveland's regular-season finale, but he'll be back for the playoffs. James Harden (rest) and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) will also sit out Sunday's game, so Tyrese Proctor and Craig Porter will likely see significant minutes.
-
Keon Ellis SG | CLE
Cavaliers' Keon Ellis: Ruled out for Sunday
Ellis is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards due to a left knee contusion.
James Harden (rest), Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Dennis Schroder (rest) will also miss Sunday's regular-season finale, so Craig Porter should get all the minutes and shots he can handle. We would expect Ellis to return when the playoffs begin.
-
Thomas Bryant C | CLE
Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Out for Sunday
Bryant (calf) won't play Sunday against the Wizards.
Bryant will miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, and he'll be joined on the inactive list by Jarrett Allen (knee) and Evan Mobley (calf), leaving Cleveland very thin up front. Larry Nance and Olivier Sarr figure to help fill the void at center.
-
Justin Champagnie SF | WAS
Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Not listed on injury report
Champagnie (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Champagnie is set to return from a one-game absence Sunday, and he should see an uptick in minutes with Bilal Coulibaly (heel) unavailable. Per 36 minutes this season, Champagnie has averaged 15.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 triples, 1.5 steals and 1.2 swats per game.

Anthony Gill PF | WAS
Wizards' Anthony Gill: Questionable for Sunday
Gill (back) is questionable to face the Cavaliers on Sunday.
If Gill can't give it a go Sunday, Julian Reese would likely earn the start and log significant minutes as the only true center available. Check back for official word on Gill's status closer to Sunday's tipoff.
