NBA Player News

Reese won't start Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

With Alex Sarr (hamstring) back in action, Reese will retreat to the second unit. However, the two-way player is likely to continue seeing meaningful minutes, as Sarr will operate under a heavy minutes restriction.

Isaac (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Isaac will miss a third straight game due to a left knee injury. His absence doesn't figure to have a meaningful impact on the rotation.

Black (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee.

With Black out, Tristan da Silva will likely return to the starting lineup, and there will be more minutes available for Jett Howard. For now, Black should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Cavs, which will be the first of a back-to-back set.

Richardson (back) is unavailable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Richardson has been ruled out for a second straight game due to back spasms. With Anthony Black (back) also sidelined, Jett Howard and Jevon Carter could see expanded roles.

Mitchell (ankle/abdomen) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Mitchell is set to return to action following a 20-game absence due to an abdominal strain and a sprained left ankle. While he may operate under a minutes restriction during his return, having Mitchell back in the lineup will leave fewer minutes available for Isaiah Joe, Jared McCain and Cason Wallace.

Carlson (back) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Carlson will be inactive for a sixth consecutive game as he nurses a back injury. His absence potentially leaves Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams as the only active players to play the five spot for Monday's contest, as Chet Holmgren (illness, questionable) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf, out) could both be unavailable as well.

Caruso (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Caruso sat out Saturday's win over the Warriors, but it looks like there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there for Monday's game. If Caruso is cleared, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe's minutes could dip a bit.

Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Williams is still recovering from a right hamstring strain and remains without a clear timetable for a return. The star forward is expected to be re-evaluated in the near future, though he can be considered doubtful for future contests until Oklahoma City offers an update on his progress. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Boston.

Hartenstein (calf) is out for Monday's game versus the Nuggets.

This will be Hartenstein's second straight game on the sidelines, and it's not encouraging that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff. For now, he can be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Celtics. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams will likely help pick up the slack in Hartenstein's absence.

Holmgren (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Holmgren missed Saturday's game due to an illness, which now has his status for Monday's game in question. If he is unable to go, Jaylin Williams will be hoisted into a sizable role, as Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) has already been ruled out.
