  • Anthony Black PG | ORL

    Magic's Anthony Black: Questionable to play Sunday

    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.

  • Andrew Wiggins SF | MIA

    Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Ruled out for Sunday

    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.

  • Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Not starting Sunday

    Tyson is not in the Cavaliers' starting lineup against the Celtics on Sunday.

    Tyson was cleared to play Sunday after popping up on the injury report as questionable due to a neck strain. However, the second-year pro will come off the bench against Boston due to the return of Donovan Mitchell (groin) from a four-game absence.

  • Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Cleared to play Sunday

    Tyson (neck) is available for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

    Tyson popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a neck strain, but the second-year pro has been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He has started in each of the Cavaliers' last four games, and over that span he has averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.0 steals over 34.0 minutes per contest.

  • Dean Wade PF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Good to go Sunday

    Wade (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against Boston, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

    Wade missed the Cavaliers' last three games due to a right ankle sprain. He earned the probable tag for Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday, and the seventh-year pro has progressed enough in his recovery to return. Wade will likely start in his return due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (knee), with the former joining Evan Mobley in the frontcourt.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Cleared to play vs. Boston

    Mitchell (groin) is available for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

    Mitchell has officially been given the green light to return Sunday from a four-game absence due to a right groin strain, and his availability will give the Cavaliers a significant boost in a game featuring the top teams in the Eastern Conference. With Mitchell back in action, Sam Merrill will likely revert to a rotational role off the bench against Boston.

  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Returns to parent team

    Toronto recalled Jackson-Davis from the G League's Raptors 905 on Saturday.

    Jackson-Davis will be available for the Raptors' next game Sunday against the Mavericks after logging a double-double in a 30-minute appearance for the 905 on Friday. At the NBA level, Jackson-Davis is averaging 3.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.5 blocks in 10.4 per game this season between stops with Golden State and Toronto.

  • Mo Bamba C | UTA

    Mo Bamba: Back on open market

    Bamba became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Jazz expired.

    After signing his 10-day deal Feb. 26, Bamba appeared in two of the Jazz's ensuing six contests, averaging 5.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.0 minutes per game. Utah will have the ability to bring Bamba back on another 10-day pact or rest-of-season deal, though the Jazz could be content to proceed with Kyle Filipowski, Oscar Tshiebwe and Kevin Love as their options at center and instead reserve the open roster spot for a player at a different position.

  • Cason Wallace PG | OKC

    Thunder's Cason Wallace: Another four-steal performance

    Wallace ended Saturday's 104-97 win over Golden State with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and four steals across 31 minutes.

    Wallace racked up four steals for the second straight game, although he struggled to have an impact on the offensive end once again. Despite playing a consistent 30-minute role, Wallace has offered upside in only one category, that being steals. In 13 games over the past month, he has averaged 12.6 points, 5.0 assists and 2.1 steals in 31.0 minutes per contest.

  • Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Drops 13 points in win

    Williams closed Saturday's 104-97 victory over Golden State with 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes.

    Williams logged a handful of extra minutes, scoring in double figures for just the second time in his past nine games. As Oklahoma City continues to manipulate its rotation, Williams should be able to maintain a backend role. With that said, fantasy managers should view him as nothing more than a schedule-based streaming option.
