Head coach JJ Redick told reporters that James (elbow) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's home contest against the Knicks, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

James was tagged as questionable for Sunday's game due to a left elbow contusion that prevented him from playing against the Pacers on Friday. He will go through pregame warmups, at which point the Lakers will have a better idea of whether James will be able to play. His return would likely result in Rui Hachimura reverting to a bench role.

Porter (knee) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game versus the Magic.

This will be Porter's third consecutive game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered questionable at best for Tuesday's game against the Suns. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will join Porter on the inactive list Sunday, so Ryan Rollins figures to be very busy on offense.

Kuzma is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to a thoracic spine contusion.

Kuzma may have tweaked his back during the Bucks' 113-99 win over the Jazz on Saturday, when he logged 18 points, five assists and two rebounds over 29 minutes. He's in danger of missing the second game of Milwaukee's back-to-back set, a game which both Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Kevin Porter (knee) have already been ruled out for. Ousmane Dieng, Bobby Portis, Gary Trent and Cam Thomas would all be in line for more minutes if Kuzma is unable to play against Orlando.

Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Magic.

Antetokounmpo will receive a rest day on the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he should be able to get back out there for Tuesday's game against the Suns. With Antetokounmpo out, expect more minutes for Bobby Portis and a larger usage rate for Ryan Rollins.

LeVert has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat due to a left wrist sprain.

LeVert may have picked up the injury during the Pistons' 107-105 loss to the Nets on Saturday, when he logged 16 minutes and finished with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer. Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green should both see an increase in minutes off the bench due to LeVert's absence Sunday. LeVert's next opportunity to play is Tuesday against the Nets.

Cunningham (quad) is probable for Sunday's game in Miami.

Cunningham skipped Saturday's loss to the Nets with a minor quad issue, but it looks like he'll be back in action Sunday, which should shift Daniss Jenkins back to the second unit. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Cunningham's status closer to tipoff.

Isaac (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game in Milwaukee, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

Isaac has missed the past two games for Orlando, but there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there for Sunday's game. If he plays, Goga Bitadze could drop out of the rotation.

Richardson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Richardson was unable to play in Saturday's win against Minnesota due to lower-back spasms. The rookie first-rounder has a chance to return for Sunday's contest, and while he's had inconsistent playing time since the All-Star break, Richardson would be in line for a larger role off the bench if Anthony Black (back) was ruled out.

Black (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

Black was forced to leave early in the first quarter of Saturday's 119-92 win over the Timberwolves due to a lower-back strain, and the injury puts him in jeopardy of missing the second leg of the Magic's back-to-back set Sunday. Tristan da Silva would be the top candidate to enter Orlando's starting lineup if Black is unable to play.

Wiggins (toe) won't play Sunday versus the Pistons.

This will be Wiggins' second straight game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's tilt with the Wizards. Myron Gardner and Kel'el Ware will continue to pick up the slack in Wiggins' absence.
