Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.

Antetokounmpo's late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday, but his status will be confirmed closer to the 3:30 p.m. ET tip-off. He's appeared in 11 of the Bucks' last 19 games but hasn't played more than five minutes in any of those outings, with most of his play coming in garbage time.

Peavy played the final 1:04 of Saturday's 115-105 win over the Jazz, recording one rebound and no other statistics.

Peavy had missed four consecutive games due to a right toe sprain before being cleared to play ahead of Thursday's 129-118 win over Utah. He went unused in that contest but was able to get some run in garbage time in Saturday's rematch. Though the rookie second-round pick looks to be outside of the rotation at the moment, Peavy could be in line for some run on the second unit if Zion Williamson ends up missing time after spraining his ankle during Saturday's contest.

The Celtics signed Tonje to a two-way contract Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Tonje's 10-day contract with the Celtics expired Sunday, but the rookie second-rounder will stick around in Boston after inking a two-way deal on the same day. The Wisconsin product was acquired by the Celtics from the Jazz in early February in exchange for Chris Boucher. Tonje has played mostly in the G League with the Maine Celtics but has appeared in two regular-season games for Boston, most recently in Friday's 148-111 win over Brooklyn, when he logged two points, two rebounds and an assist over five minutes. Tonje is unlikely to see the floor except in garbage time or during the final games of the regular season if the Celtics have locked in their seeding for the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Philadelphia recalled Edwards from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday.

Edwards is back with the parent club ahead of Sunday's game in Boston after he made his fifth G League appearance of the season in the Blue Coats' 143-123 win over the Grand Rapids Gold on Saturday, when he finished with 32 points (13-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds, five steals, two assists and one block in 38 minutes. Despite the strong showing in the G League, Edwards isn't guaranteed to be part of the Philadelphia rotation Sunday.

Tonje became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Celtics expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Acquired from the Jazz ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, Tonje had been signed to a two-way deal but was converted to a 10-day contract Feb. 19. After a stint in the G League to begin his time in the organization, the second-round rookie out of Wisconsin got the chance to see his first NBA action this past week, when he appeared in two games and logged two points, two rebounds and one assist in nine total minutes. While it's unclear if the Celtics intend to retain Tonje, the team currently has three openings on the 15-man roster as well as a vacant two-way slot.

Banton became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Celtics expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

During his second stint in Boston -- he previously played in 24 contests for the Celtics in 2023-24 -- Banton made three garbage-time appearances and totaled four points (1-5 FG, 2-2 FT), two assists and one block over 16 total minutes. The Celtics will have the ability to re-sign him to a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if the team intends to keep him in the fold or use the roster spot on another player.

Tshiebwe closed Saturday's 115-105 loss to New Orleans with zero points (0-1 FG) and three rebounds in nine minutes.

Tshiebwe remained in the rotation Saturday and has now seen the court in four of Utah's past five games. However, three of those appearances have yielded no more than 10 minutes, an indication that he is still somewhat buried on the depth chart. His ability to rebound the basketball should at least have him on the radar as a potential streaming option, should his role increase as we near the end of the season.

George (ankle) chipped in 17 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four assists and two rebounds across 23 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to New Orleans.

George returned to action after missing the Jazz's previous six games with a right ankle sprain. As expected, he moved straight back into the starting lineup, but the Jazz managed his workload carefully, with his 23 minutes being more than 10 less than his season average (33.7). Given Utah's status as a non-contender, George is likely to have his minutes managed over the next handful of games, and he could be a candidate to rest during busy periods of the schedule.

Konchar amassed three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 loss to the Pelicans.

Konchar not only moved back to the bench, but he also logged just 15 minutes, the fewest he has played since arriving in Utah. While his role is seemingly going to shift on a nightly basis, he did manage to rack up another two steals, bringing his total steals to 17 in his past five games. Given the uncertainty, managers should view him as nothing more than a schedule-based streaming consideration.

Hawkins logged zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in one minute during Saturday's 115-105 win over Utah.

Hawkins logged just one minute, moving into the rotation for just the fourth time in the past 16 games. Three of those appearances have been during garbage time only, highlighting just how far down the pecking order he currently is. Outside of dynasty formats, Hawkins has no value right now.
