Leonard will shake off his questionable tag due to a left ankle sprain and suit up for a second consecutive contest. Over 11 March appearances, the star forward has averaged 29.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.8 steals across 30.6 minutes per game.

Clippers' John Collins: Won't play Monday
Collins (ankle) is out for Monday's game against Milwaukee, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Collins will sit out Monday's matchup due to a left ankle sprain. Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders should be in line for an uptick in opportunities with Collins sidelined.

Bucks' Gary Harris: Ruled out Monday
Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Harris appeared on track to be active for Monday's contest with a probable tag but was downgraded to questionable before ultimately being ruled out due to a left groin contusion. The veteran hasn't been a consistent member of the Bucks' rotation of late, so his absence shouldn't have a major impact on playing time.

Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Downgraded to out
Kuzma (Achilles) is out Monday against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Kuzma suffered an Achilles injury during Saturday's game against Phoenix and is set to miss additional game action as a result. Jericho Sims, Taurean Prince and Pete Nance are all candidates to see more run in Kuzma's stead.

Gui Santos SF | GS
Warriors' Gui Santos: Won't start Monday
Santos is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Dallas, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
With Moses Moody (wrist) returning from a 10-game absence, Santos will slide to the bench after averaging 15.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.6 minutes over that span. In 36 games as a reserve this season, Santos is averaging 4.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.3 minutes per contest.

Ja'Kobe Walter SG | TOR
Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Starting sans Ingram
Walter will start Monday's game against the Jazz, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Brandon Ingram (heel) was ruled out right before tipoff, opening the door for Walter to enter the first unit for just the second time since the All-Star break. As a starter this season (11 games), he has averaged 7.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 22.6 minutes per contest.

Brandon Ingram SF | TOR
Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Late scratch Monday
Ingram is out for Monday's game against the Jazz due to right heel inflammation, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Ingram was announced in the starting lineup, but the team provided an update shortly before tipoff that he wouldn't be available to play Monday evening. Ja'Kobe Walter will draw the start in Ingram's place.

Moses Moody SG | GS
Warriors' Moses Moody: Cleared to play Monday
Moody (wrist) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Moody will shed his questionable tag and return from a 10-game absence due to a right wrist sprain. It wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction, though his return will still leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Will Richard and Gary Payton.

Kristaps Porzingis C | GS
Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Available vs. Mavs
Porzingis (back) has been cleared to play Monday against Dallas.
Porzingis was added to the injury report as probable leading up to tipoff, and he's since been given the green light to take the court. He'll be a candidate to start Monday, with both Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) out.

Pete Nance PF | MIL
Bucks' Pete Nance: Lands standard contract
The Bucks signed Nance to a multi-year standard contract Monday.
Nance joined the Bucks on a two-year, two-way pact last February. Since he had been active for 49 of his allotted 50 games at the NBA level as a two-way player, the Bucks elected to convert him to a standard contract to ensure he would be available for the rest of the season. In a corresponding move, Milwaukee has waived Cam Thomas. Over 37 appearances so far in 2025-26, Nance has averaged 4.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per contest.
