Post (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Post didn't play in Friday's loss to Detroit because of a nagging foot issue. The Warriors are already down Al Horford (calf) and Kristaps Porzingis (back) for this one. On top of that, Draymond Green (back) is also carrying a questionable designation. If Post can suit up, he could be looking at more action versus Atlanta. However, if Post and Green join Horford and Porzingis on the shelf, the Dubs should rely mostly on Gui Santos and Omer Yurtseven to handle the bulk of the work underneath the basket.

Castle (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Castle will miss a second consecutive game due to right hip soreness, and his next opportunity to play is Monday against the Heat, which is the start of the Spurs' three-game road trip. Devin Vassell and Harrison Barnes should continue to operate in larger roles for as long as Castle is sidelined.

Porzingis (back) won't suit up for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Porzingis exited Friday's 115-101 loss to Detroit because of a back injury. While he already indicated he likely wouldn't be available Saturday against the Hawks, the latest update confirms what most had already expected. With Al Horford (calf) out and Draymond Green (back) and Quinten Post (foot) questionable, Gui Santos and Omer Yurtseven may split time in the middle versus Atlanta.

Wembanyama is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to right ankle soreness.

Wembanyama may have picked up the injury during the Spurs' 101-100 win over the Suns on Thursday, when he played 35 minutes and finished with 34 points, 12 rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block. Luke Kornet would be the top candidate to enter San Antonio's starting lineup if Wembanyama is unable to play against Indiana.

Tyson (toe) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Tyson is nursing a left big toe sprain, and it appears the issue will prevent him from playing in Saturday's contest after his injury status was downgraded. His absence would result in more minutes being available for Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Keon Ellis.

Larsson (foot) is available for Saturday's game against Houston.

Larsson was originally listed as questionable for Saturday's game due to a bruised right foot, but the second-year pro has been cleared to play against the Rockets. He has averaged 14.4 points, 3.3 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 threes over 31.3 minutes per game over his last eight outings.

Fontecchio (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Fontecchio popped up on the injury report due to a back issue, but the fourth-year pro has been cleared to play in Saturday's game. He'll likely start against Houston due to the absence of Andrew Wiggins (toe).

Powell is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Rockets due to left calf tightness.

Powell is a new addition to Miami's injury report and may have tweaked his calf during the Heat's loss to the Lakers on Thursday, when he played 33 minutes off the bench and finished with 20 points, three assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal. His late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Saturday, and if he ends up being ruled out, then Myron Gardner, Nikola Jovic and Kel'el Ware would all be in line for more minutes.

Dort has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to a left knee contusion.

Dort was originally slated to play Saturday after being held out of Wednesday's win against the Nets due to rest purposes. It's unclear when the seventh-year pro sustained his left knee injury, but his absence means Cason Wallace will likely start in a second straight game. Dort's next chance to play is Monday against the 76ers.

The Wizards announced Saturday that Young aggravated a right quadriceps injury in Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors and is also dealing with lower back irritation after recently undergoing imaging.

Young sustained a quad contusion in the third quarter of Monday's contest and will be sidelined for a third straight game Sunday. Though the Wizards indicated that Young won't need surgery for either of the quad or back injuries, he lacks a clear timeline to resume playing, as the team is expected to proceed conservatively with him. While Young is sidelined, Bub Carrington should continue to start at point guard, and two-way player Sharife Cooper should handle a heightened role in the rotation.
