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.

Watkins will start Sunday's game against the Knicks.

The rookie second-rounder will replace Justin Champagnie (suspension) in the starting lineup Sunday. As a starter this season (four games), Watkins has averaged 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 27.3 minutes per contest.

Collier (hamstring) won't play Monday versus the Raptors.

This will be Collier's third consecutive game on the inactive list, and with Keyonte George (hamstring) also out, it'll be Elijah Harkless, Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng holding down the fort in the backcourt. Collier's next chance to play will come Wednesday versus Washington.

Wolf sustained a left ankle injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Kings and will not return, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. He'll finish with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and four rebounds across 12 minutes.

Wolf turned his left ankle and limped off the court before being helped to the locker room. The rookie first-rounder faces a short turnaround if he hopes to play Monday in Portland, so he can be considered highly questionable for that one until Brooklyn provides an update on his status. If he's forced to miss time, Josh Minott, Chaney Johnson and E.J. Liddell would be candidates for increased playing time.

Reid (ankle) is available for Sunday's game in Boston.

Reid is back after a two-game absence, which could result in Joan Beringer falling out of the rotation. Reid is averaging 13.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.2 triples, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game this season.

Boston recalled Shulga from the G League's Maine Celtics, and he is available for Boston's game against Minnesota on Sunday.

Shulga logged 29 minutes in Maine's 121-91 win over the Cleveland Charge on Sunday, during which he tallied 12 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists. He isn't guaranteed to see the floor for the parent club against the Timberwolves.

Williams was recalled from the G League on Sunday.

Williams will be available for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, but that doesn't mean he'll touch the court. Williams has been a negligible part of the Celtics' rotation this season.

Brown (quadriceps) will play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jack Simone of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

As expected, Brown will shake off his probable tag due to a left quadriceps contusion. The star forward has reached the 30-point threshold in four of the last five games, averaging 30.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 46.5 percent from the field in 36.8 minutes per tilt during that stretch.

Black (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Sunday's game versus the Knicks.

Black was listed as out on the initial injury report, but he's now been cleared to suit up. The two-way player has missed the past four games due to an ankle sprain, so he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction during his return.

The Lakers recalled Bufkin from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

Bufkin and Adou Thiero were both inactive for Saturday's 105-104 win over the Magic, but the two will rejoin the Lakers ahead of their next game Monday in Detroit. Bufkin hasn't typically been included in the rotation when the Lakers are at full strength, but he could be needed to handle some minutes if Rui Hachimura (calf) and Marcus Smart (ankle) -- both of whom are listed as questionable -- are unable to play Monday.
