Gill will start in Saturday's game against Miami.

With Tristan Vukcevic (knee) ruled out, Gill will make his first start since the 130-117 loss to the Pistons on March 17. In two starts this season, the 33-year-old has averaged 5.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in 23.5 minutes of action.

Black (abdomen) is listed as out for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Black has been on the shelf for nearly a month, and at this point, it's unknown how much longer he will remain off the floor. Statistically speaking, the 22-year-old is having a career-best season, averaging 15.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.7 blocks and 1.4 steals across 30.7 minutes in 60 appearances. However, Black may not be as productive if cleared to return, considering it will likely take him some time to ramp up. Franz Wagner's availability should also cause Black to see fewer minutes.

Hardaway is available for Saturday's game in San Antonio.

Hardaway was listed as probable, although he will now officially avoid his first absence since the 125-124 win over Philadelphia on January 5. The veteran has been a reliable contributor for Denver throughout the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 13.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.5 steals while shooting 45.0 percent from the field and 41.0 percent from deep across 26.7 minutes per contest, mostly while coming off the bench

Isaac (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Isaac has no timeline for a return to the court due to a knee sprain. His next chance to play comes Monday against the Pistons, but his return doesn't look to be imminent.

Reaves (rib/oblique) underwent imaging recently and may not play in Sunday's game against Dallas, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

Reaaves underwent imaging to address injuries to his ribs and oblique. While the results are still pending and his official status for Sunday's meeting with Dallas hasn't been disclosed, it appears there's a chance he won't be on the floor for that contest. The 27-year-old has also been playing through a back injury. With the team already down Luka Doncic (hamstring) for at least the rest of the regular season, the latest update regarding Reaves means coach JJ Redick might be down another top producer. If that is the case, LeBron James may find himself handling the ball more, with Luke Kennard and Kobe Bufkin in line to see increased action at the point guard position.

Vukcevic (knee) is out for Saturday's game against Miami.

Vukcevic, who's dealing with a bruised right knee, has a short turnaround Sunday, when the Wizards face the Nets in Brooklyn. Anthony Gill should take on the bulk of the center minutes Saturday.

Champagnie (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Heat.

The forward is dealing with a bruised right knee but is ready to play Saturday. Champagnie has averaged 11.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 23.1 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.

Coulibaly (heel) is listed as available for Saturday's game against Miami.

Coulibaly didn't play in the 120-101 loss to the Lakers on Monday before subsequently returning for the 153-131 loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday. However, despite making another appearance on the injury report, the 21-year-old has the green light to suit up for his second consecutive contest. Coulibaly is coming off a productive month, averaging 14.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.2 steals across 27.8 minutes in March.

Johnson (foot) is available for Saturday's game versus Miami.

A right foot sprain left Johnson's status in danger for Saturday, but he's good to go. Over his last six outings, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 11.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 23.6 minutes per game.

Duren (illness) is questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Philadelphia.

The 26-year-old didn't suit up for the 114-110 overtime loss to Oklahoma City on Monday. However, despite appearing in Detroit's last two outings, he's now in jeopardy of missing this contest because of an illness. With Isaiah Stewart (calf) still on the shelf, Paul Reed would likely find himself back in the starting lineup if Duren can't suit up.
