Antetokounmpo (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Nets.

Antetokounmpo will remain sidelined for yet another matchup while dealing with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise. He'll have one more opportunity to appear in the regular-season finale Sunday against Philadelphia, though it would seem that his 2025-26 campaign is over.

Wembanyama (ribs) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Wembanyama suffered a left rib contusion during Monday's game against the 76ers and then sat out Wednesday's matchup with Portland. However, it appears he'll have a chance to take the court Friday night after being upgraded to questionable. The Spurs will likely monitor the star center closely leading up to tipoff before providing an update on his availability.

Head coach Brian Keefe said Thursday that Sarr (toe) is unlikely to play again this season, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Sarr will miss a seventh consecutive contest Thursday due to a left big toe injury, and he should be considered doubtful for the Wizards' final two regular-season games until further notice. With the second-year big man on the shelf, Julian Reese and Anthony Gill will likely continue seeing increased burn.

Merrill (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Atlanta.

Merrill will be held out of Friday's contest due to left hamstring injury management. His final chance to suit up in the regular season will come Sunday against the Wizards. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) also out, Keon Ellis, Craig Porter and Tyrese Proctor are candidates to see increased playing time.

Tyson is questionable for Friday's game versus Atlanta due to a left toe bone bruise.

Tyson is trying to end a 10-game absence and tune himself up ahead of the postseason. If the forward cannot get the green light, more playing time on the wing will be available for Max Strus and Dean Wade.

Allen (knee) is listed as out for Friday's game against Atlanta.

The Cavaliers are gearing up for the postseason, so Allen will take the night off Friday. With Thomas Bryant (calf) also sidelined, Evan Mobley will presumably slide over to the middle, while Larry Nance is expected to see more action off the bench.

Bryant (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Bryant is in line for a third straight absence as a result of a left calf strain, and the fact that he continues to be ruled out a full day ahead of tipoff isn't a great sign. He'll have one final opportunity for regular-season action Sunday against Washington.

Mitchell is out for Friday's game against the Hawks due to right ankle injury management.

Mitchell appears to be receiving a maintenance-related absence Friday. Sunday's matchup versus the Wizards is his last chance to appear during the regular season. Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder should see a boost in playing time in the Cleveland backcourt Friday.

Huerter (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against Charlotte.

Huerter got the start in Monday's 123-107 loss to Orlando, though he didn't suit up for Wednesday's 137-111 win over Milwaukee. If he misses another contest, Duncan Robinson could see more action.

White (groin) is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons.

White appears poised for a return after missing Tuesday's game against Boston due to a left groin issue. Expect confirmation on his availability closer to Friday's tipoff.
