Porter (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Porter will miss a third consecutive contest due to right knee synovitis, marking his eighth absence this month. With the 25-year-old guard sidelined, Cam Thomas and Gary Trent are candidates for increased minutes, while Ryan Rollins is likely to continue seeing increased playmaking duties. Porter's next chance to play will come Wednesday in Portland.

Harris (groin) is probable for Monday's meeting with the Clippers.

Harris should be available for Monday's game, but that doesn't mean he'll take the court. He's been an inconsistent part of the rotation for Milwaukee this season.

Murray-Boyles (thumb) won't play Sunday in Phoenix, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

While Murray-Boyles is set to miss his 11th straight game, it's worth noting that he was upgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's match, which is the first time he's received the questionable tag since aggravating his thumb injury. Perhaps the rookie will be able to get back out there for Monday's game in Utah.

Hayes won't return to Sunday's game against the Nets due to a toe injury on his left foot, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. He'll finish with two points (1-4 FG), four rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes.

With Russell Westbrook (foot) sidelined, Hayes got the starting nod Sunday. However, he picked up a toe injury in the first half and won't return during the second. Malik Monk and Devin Carter will likely help pick up the slack in the backcourt the rest of the way. Hayes' next chance to play will come Tuesday in Charlotte.

The Knicks recalled Hukporti from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Sunday.

Hukporti will be available for Sunday's game against the Wizards after suiting up for Westchester earlier in the day. He played 16 minutes in Westchester's 141-131 win over the Greensboro Swarm, finishing with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block.

The Knicks recalled Kolek from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Sunday.

Kolek suited up for Westchester earlier Sunday in a 141-131 win over the Greensboro Swarm, finishing with 42 points (15-22 FG, 9-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 assists, three rebounds and one block across 36 minutes. He's available to face the Wizards on Sunday but isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time.

The Knicks recalled Dadiet from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Sunday.

Dadiet will be available for Sunday's game versus the Wizards after he suited up for the G League affiliate earlier in the day. During Westchester's 141-131 win over the Greensboro Swarm, Dadiet tallied 32 points (11-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 39 minutes.

Vukcevic will start Sunday's game against the Knicks.

With Alex Sarr (toe) sidelined, Vukcevic will get the starting nod Sunday. As a starter this season (eight games), the big man has averaged 11.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.9 combined steals-plus-blocks and 1.5 assists in 19.9 minutes per tilt.

Reese (two-way) is listed out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Washington had already ruled out eight other players out for Sunday's contest -- including center Alex Sarr (toe) -- but Reese will remain inactive for a fourth consecutive game while the Wizards intend to get by with just nine available players. After Sunday, Reese will be eligible to play in eight of the Wizards' remaining 11 games while he's signed to a two-way deal.

Sensabaugh (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with the Raptors.

Sensabaugh will be back in action following a two-game layoff, which could shift Elijah Harkless back to the second unit, while Cody Williams' usage could dip a bit. Through nine games in March, Sensabaugh has put up averages of 21.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 3.1 triples and 1.0 steals per contest.
