NBA Player News

Toppin is probable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to right foot injury management.

Toppin was also tagged as probable leading up to Sunday's game before eventually getting clearance to play, so this appears to be a similar situation heading into Tuesday's clash. Expect confirmation on his availability closer to tipoff.

Murray-Boyles (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

The right quadriceps contusion is a new concern for the rookie first-rounder, who has appeared in each of Toronto's last four games. With Sandro Mamukelashvili (knee) also questionable, the Raptors could be shorthanded in the frontcourt Tuesday. If Murray-Boyles or Mamukelashvili is ruled out, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle would be candidates to see increased minutes.

Richards (elbow) is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

The big man is set to be a spectator for a seventh consecutive contest due to an elbow sprain, and his next chance to play comes during Thursday's rematch with Washington. The expectation is that Guerschon Yabusele will continue start at center for the Bulls.

Nembhard (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Nembhard isn't yet ready to return from a back issue and will miss his fourth consecutive game as a result of the injury. His next opportunity to take the floor will arrive Thursday in Brooklyn.

Sexton (finger) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Washington.

Sexton logged 31 minutes in Sunday's 120-110 loss to Phoenix, finishing with 18 points, nine rebounds, one assist and three steals. Assuming the 27-year-old can suit up, he could be more productive than usual against one of the worst defensive squads in the league, especially with teammates Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Matas Buzelis (illness) already ruled out.

Siakam (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

The star forward is unable to play through a sprained left ankle Tuesday. With Siakam sidelined, Kobe Brown and Obi Toppin (foot), who's expected to play Tuesday, should each see more minutes at power forward.

Nesmith (neck) is out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Nesmith will mis his fifth straight game while battling a neck injury. He's once again been downgraded to out a full day ahead of Indiana's upcoming matchup, so he doesn't appear close to a return. Nesmith can be considered doubtful for Thursday's tilt in Brooklyn until further notice.

Young (quadriceps/back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Young hasn't played since March 16 and will miss a 12th straight game while dealing with a right quadriceps contusion and lower-back pain. The star point guard should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Wizards provide an update on his status. However, it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't play again this season, as Washington has just three regular-season games remaining after Tuesday.

Champagnie (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Champagnie may miss a second consecutive contest due to a right knee contusion. If he's unable to suit up, Jamir Watkins and Leaky Black could see increased burn.

Simons (wrist) is out for Tuesday's game against Washington.

Simons hasn't played since Feb. 21 with a fractured left wrist, and it's becoming increasingly less likely he'll suit up again this year. Collin Sexton (finger) is probable for Tuesday and should continue to start at shooting guard for the Bulls if he's cleared to play.
