Bailey (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Bailey was a late addition to the injury report and will miss Monday's contest due to an illness. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Knicks. With the rookie first-rounder unavailable, John Konchar and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates for increased playing time.

Plumlee (reconditioning) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston.

Plumlee has yet to make his debut with San Antonio while ramping up his conditioning after undergoing right groin surgery in late December, though a questionable tag gives him a chance to be available Tuesday. Even if active, playing time may be difficult to come by for the veteran big man, as Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk loom as the primary backup centers behind Victor Wembanyama.

Barnes (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

Barnes hasn't taken the court since March 1 after picking up a left ankle injury. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Thursday against the Nuggets.

Pritchard (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Pritchard is in jeopardy of missing just his second game of the season and his first since Jan. 17 due to neck spasms. If the 28-year-old guard is unable to suit up, Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez would be candidates for increased playing time off the bench, while Ron Harper could enter the rotation.

Poeltl is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets due to illness.

Poeltl's availability for Tuesday is in jeopardy after he turned in a solid double-double Sunday against Dallas. The team should have a better idea of his availability closer to tipoff. Sandro Mamukelashvili would be in line for the start at center if Poeltl can't go.

Prince (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

The Bucks had previously hinted that Prince may not be able to return for the remainder of the 2025-26 season after undergoing surgery to repair a herniated disc in his neck. However, Prince's questionable tag for Tuesday says otherwise, as it appears he's excelled in his rehab and is nearing a return to game action. If the veteran forward is cleared to play Tuesday, expect Milwaukee to deploy him with caution off the bench after not playing since Nov. 4 against Toronto.

Porter (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Porter will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to right knee inflammation, and his next opportunity to play will come Thursday in Miami. In the meantime, Gary Trent and Cam Thomas are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Antetokounmpo (calf) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Antetokounmpo sat out the second half of a back-to-back Sunday after recently returning from a right calf strain, but he's cleared to return to action for Tuesday's contest. Through three appearances since returning from the lengthy absence, the superstar is averaging 23.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 26.0 minutes per contest.

Kuzma (back) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Kuzma missed Sunday's loss to the Magic, the second half of a back-to-back, but he's good to go for Tuesday. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) healthy, Kuzma figures to come off the bench. Over his last eight games as a reserve, Kuzma has averaged 11.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per contest.

Watkins (ankle/foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Watkins is set to miss a fourth straight game due to a sprained left ankle and foot. The rookie second-rounder's next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday in Orlando. Meanwhile, Leaky Black may continue to play meaningful minutes.
