Mitchell (abdomen/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas.

Mitchell hasn't played since Jan. 21 due to an abdominal strain and a left ankle sprain. He's without a clear timeline for a return and should be considered doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Bulls until the Thunder provide an update.

Plumlee (reconditioning) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Plumlee signed a rest-of-season contract with San Antonio on Friday, but he will remain on the sidelines Sunday as he continues to work back into game shape following late-December surgery on his right groin. The veteran center has yet to make an appearance for the Spurs since originally joining the club on a 10-day contract Feb. 17. Even once Plumlee is cleared to suit up, he is expected to serve as an emergency depth option in a center group that already features Victor Wembanyama, Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk.

Martin (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Martin is still dealing with lower-back soreness and could miss a second straight game. If the veteran forward joins Cooper Flagg (foot) on the sidelines, Khris Middleton, Klay Thompson and Naji Marshall (finger) would be candidates for increased minutes, especially if P.J. Washington (ankle) is downgraded from doubtful to out.

Washington (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Washington has already missed two consecutive games due to a left ankle sprain he suffered in Tuesday's win over the Nets, and he appears likely to remain sidelined for the final outing of the Mavericks' three-game homestand. With Washington expected to join Cooper Flagg (foot) on the sidelines, the Mavericks will likely continue to lean heavily on Naji Marshall (finger) and Khris Middleton in the frontcourt.

Bagley (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Bagley will miss a second consecutive contest due to a neck sprain, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Hornets. With the big man sidelined, Dwight Powell will likely operate as Daniel Gafford's primary backup.

Marshall (finger) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Marshall appears to have picked up a right finger contusion in Friday's loss to the Grizzlies, during which he posted four points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 24 minutes. The Mavericks are already shorthanded with Cooper Flagg (foot) and P.J. Washington (ankle) dealing with injuries, so Marshall's availability will be key for the Dallas frontcourt.

Gibson (reconditioning) won't play in Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Gibson signed a contract with Memphis on Thursday but requires a ramp-up period before suiting up. The 40-year-old center's next opportunity to make his Grizzlies debut will come Tuesday in Minnesota.

Murray-Boyles (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Murray-Boyles will miss Saturday's contest due to a left thumb sprain he sustained in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs. The rookie first-rounder's next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Knicks. With Murray-Boyles unavailable, Sandro Mamukelashvili may see increased playing time, while Trayce Jackson-Davis could enter the rotation.

Flagg (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Flagg's absence due to a left foot sprain will extend to seven games Sunday, and he should be considered doubtful for Tuesday's contest against the Hornets. Naji Marshall (finger), Caleb Martin (back) and Brandon Williams should all continue to see extended playing time for as long as Flagg is sidelined.

Thompson (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Thompson sat out Friday's loss to the Grizzlies due to rest purposes, but the veteran wing will return for Sunday's contest. P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as doubtful while Caleb Martin (back) and Naji Marshall (finger) are both questionable, so Thompson could operate in an elevated role against Oklahoma City.
