Pascal Siakam PF | IND
Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Officially cleared Saturday
Siakam (knee) will play in Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Siakam will return from a six-game absence after missing time because of a sprained right knee. His return can't come at a better time, considering the Pacers won't have Ivica Zubac (rib) for the remainder of the campaign. Siakam will also have the luxury of facing a Spurs squad that may be without Victor Wembanyama (ankle).

T.J. McConnell PG | IND
Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Good to go Saturday
McConnell (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against San Antonio.
McConnell has been playing through a tight right hamstring recently, and he'll continue to do so Saturday night. With the Pacers close to full health, look for McConnell to play upper-teens minutes off the bench. He had started in each of his last three appearances.

Jerami Grant PF | POR
Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Questionable versus Denver
Grant (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against Denver, per Trail Blazers PR.
Grant hasn't missed a game in over two months. However, he might not be available against Denver because of soreness in his left foot. If Grant can't get on the floor, Kris Murray might find himself in the starting lineup. The 25-year-old has started 15 times throughout the campaign, averaging 7.3 points, 4.5 boards, 1.3 assists, 0.6 blocks and 1.1 steals in 26.5 minutes of work.

Vit Krejci SF | POR
Trail Blazers' Vit Krejci: Tabbed questionable
Krejci (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver.
Krejci has already missed three consecutive games due to a left calf contusion, and his availability is up in the air for Sunday's game. If Krejci can't go, Kris Murray or Blake Wesley could see an uptick in minutes.

Collin Murray-Boyles PF | TOR
Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Upgraded to questionable
Murray-Boyles (thumb) is questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Phoenix, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca.
CMB has missed the last 10 games because of a sprained left thumb. However, it appears he's moving in a positive direction regarding his return to the court. If Murray-Boyles is available, it's reasonable to assume he'll see fewer minutes than usual, meaning Jakob Poeltl would have a shot to remain in the starting lineup.
