NBA Player News

Barrett (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Brooklyn, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Barrett was ruled out shortly ahead of Friday's 112-95 loss to the Knicks, his former team. While the Raptors are fighting to stay out of the Play-In Tournament, Toronto may still be able to allow Barrett to remain off the floor versus one of the defensively vulnerable teams in the league. If that happens, Ja'Kobe Walter could remain in the starting lineup.

The Hornets recalled Salaun from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Saturday.

Salaun helped the Swarm to a 119-104 win over the Stockton Kings in Game 2 of the G League Finals on Friday, when he played 35 minutes and finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks. He hasn't appeared in an NBA-level game since March 3, but Salaun will be available for the Hornets' regular-season finale against the Knicks on Sunday.

Jackson-Davis (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Jackson-Davis missed Friday's loss to the Knicks due to an illness, but there's a chance he could be cleared for the Raptors' regular-season finale. Check back for official word on his status closer to Sunday's tipoff.

Hauser (back) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Magic, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

With the Celtics set to rest a lot of their regular rotation guys for Sunday's regular-season finale, there will be plenty of minutes and shots available for Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez and Jordan Walsh. Check back for official confirmation on Hauser's status closer to Sunday's tipoff.

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

The Pistons are locked in as the top seed in the Eastern Conference, so Duren will get a little extra rest ahead of the postseason. The fourth-year big man enjoyed a career year in 2025-26, earning his first All-Star selection and averaging a career-high 19.5 points per game along with 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 steals over 28.2 minutes per contest. Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed should both see extended playing time Sunday in Duren's absence.

White (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Orlando, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

White isn't available for Sunday's contest, as expected. With Jaylen Brown (Achilles) also ruled out and Payton Pritchard (foot) listed as doubtful, Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez and Dalano Banton should see a big uptick in minutes in the backcourt, with a spot start likely for two of them.

Pritchard is listed as doubtful for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Magic due to left foot plantar fasciitis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

The Celtics locked their spot as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference after their blowout win against the Pelicans on Friday. With nothing to play for Sunday, Boston will rest its entire starting lineup, and it looks like Pritchard will also not play against Orlando. If that's indeed the case, Pritchard will end the 2025-26 regular season averaging career highs in points (17.0), assists (5.2), rebounds (3.9) and minutes (32.4). Max Shulga, Dalano Banton, Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez and other deep rotational players for the Celtics should all see extended action Sunday.

Queta (toe) won't play Sunday versus the Magic, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

The Celtics are expected to sit their entire starting lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale and Nikola Vucevic (finger) to sit out, so Luka Garza and Amari Williams should get all the run they can handle. While Queta will skip Sunday's game, we wouldn't expect this minor toe injury to impact his status for the playoffs.

Tatum (Achilles) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Orlando, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Tatum will miss a second consecutive contest. However, with the Celtics locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, the team is getting ready for the postseason, likely meaning the entire starting lineup won't be available. Without Tatum on the floor, Jordan Walsh, who has started in Boston's last two games, is expected to remain with the first five.

Brown (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Magic, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

The Celtics have locked up the No. 2 seed in the East, so there's not much incentive for Brown to play through Achilles tendinitis in Boston's final game of the regular season. Jayson Tatum (Achilles), Derrick White (knee) and Payton Pritchard (foot) are expected to join Brown on the sidelines Sunday, so guys like Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez and Dalano Banton should be slated for major minutes and prominent roles on offense.
