  • Isaiah Collier PG | UTA

    Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Starting sans George

    Collier will start Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    The second-year point guard will step into the first unit due to the absence of Keyonte George, who is expected to miss at least two weeks with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. As a starter this season (16 games), Collier has averaged 15.3 points, 8.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 31.2 minutes per contest.

  • Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Starting sans Green

    Porzingis will start Friday's game against the Timberwolves, though he will be limited to around 20 minutes, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

    With Draymond Green (back) sidelined, Porzingis will draw his first start with Golden State. However, head coach Steve Kerr said the big man will be on a "flexible" 20-minute restriction. Over three appearances with the Warriors, Porzingis has averaged 12.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 blocks in 20.0 minutes per tilt.

  • Will Richard PG | GS

    Warriors' Will Richard: Headed to bench

    Richard will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

    De'Anthony Melton (thigh) is back and starting, so Richard will shift to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Richard owns averages of 5.9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.

  • Warriors' Draymond Green: Ruled out Friday

    Green (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Green was added to the injury report 45 minutes before tipoff and ruled out shortly thereafter. With the veteran big man sidelined, Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis and Quinten Post are candidates to see increased burn. Green's next opportunity to play will come Sunday in New York.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Won't play Friday

    Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Jazz.

    Williams is out with a maintenance day, but he should be back for Sunday's game against the 76ers. Sidy Cissoko and Yang Hansen will have the opportunity to get into the rotation with Williams unavailable.

  • Warriors' Draymond Green: Late addition to injury report

    Green has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to lower-back injury management.

    Green was added to the injury report 45 minutes before tipoff, which suggests that he'll go through his pregame warmups before a final decision on his availability is made. If the veteran big man isn't cleared to play, Quinten Post, Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis would be candidates for increased playing time.

  • Jalen Smith PF | CHI

    Bulls' Jalen Smith: Out Friday

    Smith (calf) won't play Friday versus the Clippers, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

    Smith will rest on the second night of a back-to-back set, but he will likely return for Monday's matchup with Memphis. Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards will soak up the center minutes with Smith unavailable.

  • Bulls' Patrick Williams: Available Friday

    Williams (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

    Williams will shake off his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. The 24-year-old forward has averaged 7.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 22.8 minutes per game across five appearances (one start) since the All-Star break.

  • Collin Sexton SG | CHI

    Bulls' Collin Sexton: Won't play Friday

    Sexton (leg) is out for Friday's game versus the Clippers, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

    This will be Sexton's third consecutive game on the inactive list, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Monday's meeting with Memphis. Rob Dillingham will likely continue to have the opportunity for some extended minutes while Sexton is sidelined.

  • Isaac Okoro SF | CHI

    Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Remaining out Friday

    Okoro (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

    Okoro will miss a third consecutive contest due to a right knee issue, and his next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Grizzlies. With the 25-year-old forward unavailable, Leonard Miller and Patrick Williams are candidates for increased minutes.
