Vukcevic (knee) is out for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

Alex Sarr (toe) will join Vukcevic on the inactive list for Sunday's game, and Anthony Gill (back) is questionable, so Julian Reese could be getting all the run he can handle as the last man standing in Washington's frontcourt. Vukcevic will finish his third NBA season with averages of 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 three-pointers per contest.

Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against Cleveland.

Sarr will end up missing 23 of the Wizards' final 30 games of the regular season, most recently due to left toe inflammation. The 2024 first overall pick will end his sophomore season averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 threes, 2.0 blocks and 0.8 steals over 27.2 minutes per game.

Johnson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cavaliers.

The rookie first-rounder will end up missing the final five games of the regular season due to a right foot sprain. He'll end his first NBA season averaging 12.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.9 threes and 0.6 steals over 24.1 minutes, starting in 42 of 60 games. Jaden Hardy and Jamir Watkins should both operate in elevated roles in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Coulibaly (heel) won't play Sunday against the Cavaliers.

Coulibaly will skip Washington's regular-season finale, which should result in Will Riley returning to the first unit, and there will be more minutes available for Justin Champagnie. Coulibaly will end his 2025-26 season with averages of 11.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 triples, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

Broome (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bucks.

Broome remains without a timeline to return while recovering from February surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. It's unclear whether he'll be available for the start of the 76ers' postseason run, though he would unlikely play even if he was cleared to suit up.

Chandler became a free agent Saturday after his second 10-day contract with the Jazz expired.

Over the course of his two 10-day deals, Chandler saw ample involvement while Utah has been without several key players due to injury. While appearing in each of the Jazz's last 11 games, Chandler averaged 15.0 points, 6.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.2 minutes per contest and shot 44.5 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from downtown. Though Utah has the option to retain Chandler on a rest-of-season deal, the 23-year-old guard doesn't look as though he'll be re-signed ahead of Sunday's season finale versus the Lakers. Instead, Shams Charania of ESPN relays that the Jazz intend to sign guard Hayden Gray to a two-year deal to take over Chandler's vacated roster spot.

McBride (pelvis) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Tyler Kolek (oblique) are out for Sunday's game, so McBride could be looking at big minutes and a starting role. Per 36 minutes this season, McBride owns averages of 16.0 points, 3.6 assists, 3.7 triples and 1.2 steals per game.

Towns has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets due to right elbow injury management.

The Knicks don't have anything to play for Sunday, given that they were locked in as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference following the Celtics' blowout win over the Pelicans on Friday. As such, Towns and the rest of the New York starters will be rested for the Knicks' regular-season finale, though they should all be available for the start of the postseason, with the possible exception of OG Anunoby (ankle). Towns will end the 2025-26 regular season averaging 20.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 threes and 0.9 steals over 31.0 minutes per game. With Towns and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) both out, the Knicks will lean more heavily on Ariel Hukporti, Trey Jemison, Mohamed Diawara and Jeremy Sochan.

Kolek (oblique) will sit out Sunday's game versus the Hornets.

This will be Kolek's fourth straight game on the inactive list, and it'll be interesting to see if he gets cleared when the playoffs begin. Jose Alvarado should continue to pick up most of Kolek's minutes.

Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets.

Robinson will end up missing the final two games of the regular season while managing a left ankle injury, though he should be available for the start of the postseason. He'll end the 2025-26 campaign averaging 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals over 19.6 minutes per game. With Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) also sidelined, Ariel Hukporti, Trey Jemison and Mohamed Diawara are all in line for expanded roles against Charlotte.
