NBA Player News

Gilgeous-Alexander (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns.

The Thunder are listing 10 players out for Sunday's regular-season finale, including Gilgeous-Alexander. However, the superstar should be good to go by the playoffs. Nikola Topic and Jared McCain should see significant minutes in the backcourt once again Sunday.

Wade (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Wizards.

The Cavs will sit out their entire starting lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale, so guys like Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter could see massive upticks in usage. This is just a maintenance day for Wade, so he should get cleared when the playoffs begin.

Schroder (rest) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

The 32-year-old guard will skip Cleveland's regular-season finale, but he'll be back for the playoffs. James Harden (rest) and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) will also sit out Sunday's game, so Tyrese Proctor and Craig Porter will likely see significant minutes.

Ellis is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards due to a left knee contusion.

James Harden (rest), Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Dennis Schroder (rest) will also miss Sunday's regular-season finale, so Craig Porter should get all the minutes and shots he can handle. We would expect Ellis to return when the playoffs begin.

Bryant (calf) won't play Sunday against the Wizards.

Bryant will miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, and he'll be joined on the inactive list by Jarrett Allen (knee) and Evan Mobley (calf), leaving Cleveland very thin up front. Larry Nance and Olivier Sarr figure to help fill the void at center.

Champagnie (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Champagnie is set to return from a one-game absence Sunday, and he should see an uptick in minutes with Bilal Coulibaly (heel) unavailable. Per 36 minutes this season, Champagnie has averaged 15.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 triples, 1.5 steals and 1.2 swats per game.

Gill (back) is questionable to face the Cavaliers on Sunday.

If Gill can't give it a go Sunday, Julian Reese would likely earn the start and log significant minutes as the only true center available. Check back for official word on Gill's status closer to Sunday's tipoff.

Vukcevic (knee) is out for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

Alex Sarr (toe) will join Vukcevic on the inactive list for Sunday's game, and Anthony Gill (back) is questionable, so Julian Reese could be getting all the run he can handle as the last man standing in Washington's frontcourt. Vukcevic will finish his third NBA season with averages of 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 three-pointers per contest.

Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against Cleveland.

Sarr will end up missing 23 of the Wizards' final 30 games of the regular season, most recently due to left toe inflammation. The 2024 first overall pick will end his sophomore season averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 threes, 2.0 blocks and 0.8 steals over 27.2 minutes per game.

Johnson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cavaliers.

The rookie first-rounder will end up missing the final five games of the regular season due to a right foot sprain. He'll end his first NBA season averaging 12.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.9 threes and 0.6 steals over 24.1 minutes, starting in 42 of 60 games. Jaden Hardy and Jamir Watkins should both operate in elevated roles in Sunday's regular-season finale.
