  • Derrick White SG | BOS

    Celtics' Derrick White: Passive again in victory

    White chipped in 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 win over the Hornets.

    White continues to serve as the third or fourth option on offense, having attempted no more than seven shot attempts in three of the past four games. A recent lack of defensive production has only added to White's overall decline, as he sits outside the top 150 in seven games over the past two weeks.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Scoreless again in loss

    Connaughton ended with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in two minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 loss to the Celtics.

    Connaughton failed to score yet again, continuing what has been a season full of disappointment. In fact, the casual NBA fan could be forgiven for not even realizing that he is still in the league. In 41 appearances, Connaughton has averaged just 2.7 points in 7.1 minutes per game.

  • Josh Green SF | CHA

    Hornets' Josh Green: Muted role continues

    Green had three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across seven minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 loss to the Celtics.

    Green played no more than seven minutes for the third time in the past four games, having seemingly moved to the fringe of the rotation. Despite a small amount of defensive upside, Green's lack of offensive versatility makes him a non-factor on that end of the floor.

  • Moussa Diabate PF | CHA

    Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Outplayed in loss

    Diabate notched two points (1-3 FG), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 loss to the Celtics.

    Diabate underwhelmed again, continuing a rough couple of weeks. In seven appearances during that time, he has averaged just 5.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals. While his role as the starting center is safe, his lack of offensive upside could be an issue during the playoffs.

  • Bobi Klintman PF | DET

    Bobi Klintman: Waived by Detroit

    The Pistons waived Klintman on Tuesday.

    The 2024 second-rounder will have to explore other opportunities after being let go by the Pistons. Klintman appeared in just 12 regular-season games for Detroit this season, averaging 1.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 5.9 minutes per contest.

  • Naji Marshall SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Exits early Tuesday

    Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers and did not return, finishing with six points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three steals and two rebounds across 20 minutes.

    Marshall struggled on the offensive end Tuesday before taking a hard fall and limping to the locker room after attempting to contest a shot in the fourth quarter. It's unclear exactly what the 28-year-old forward is dealing with, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him appear on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game in Phoenix.

  • Naji Marshall SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Exits to locker room

    Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    While it's unclear exactly why he headed back to the locker room, Marshall contested a shot and took a hard fall before limping off the court. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

  • Adou Thiero SF | LAL

    Lakers' Adou Thiero: Returns vs. OKC

    Thiero (face) returned to Tuesday's game against the Thunder with 7:54 remaining in the third quarter, per the broadcast.

    Thiero took an elbow to the face in the second quarter and immediately headed back to the locker room. However, he was eventually cleared to return and will likely continue to play meaningful minutes the rest of the way for the banged-up Lakers.

  • Adou Thiero SF | LAL

    Lakers' Adou Thiero: Leaves for locker room

    Thiero exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to an apparent facial injury, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Thiero caught an elbow to the face from Chet Holmgren and headed straight back to the locker room with a towel on his face. Thiero should be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

  • Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Minimal output in return

    Quickley (foot) closed with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 121-95 win over the Heat.

    Tuesday's game was Quickley's first appearance since March 22, with the sixth-year guard returning from an eight-game absence due to right foot plantar fasciitis. He ended up seeing less playing time than Jamal Shead (24 minutes), but that may have been more due to the Raptors' dominant lead through three quarters, resulting in the starters resting for the fourth frame. Quickley may have his minutes limited over the final few games of the regular season as the Raptors gear up for a postseason run.
