Reese (two-way) will be inactive Saturday for the Wizards' game in Boston.

After signing a two-year, two-way contract with the Wizards on Feb. 28, Reese suited up for four of the Wizards' ensuing five games, averaging 8.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 31.3 minutes per contest over that stretch. However, with the Wizards recently getting the likes of Alex Sarr and Tristan Vukcevic back from injuries, Reese will now be inactive Saturday for a third straight contest. Per the terms of his two-way deal, Reese is eligible to play in just nine of the Wizards' remaining 16 games of the season after Saturday's contest, so he'll be in line for some more planned absences down the stretch.

Thompson (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Thompson is on track to end a five-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, which would likely send Marcus Sasser back to the second unit. In his past seven outings before picking up the injury March 5, Thompson had averaged 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 28.1 minutes per contest.

Allen (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Allen will miss a fifth straight game Sunday, and the fact that he's once again being ruled out a full day before the game isn't encouraging, as there's no clear timetable for his return. Thomas Bryant should continue to see an expanded role in the frontcourt in Allen's absence.

Black (two-way) will be inactive Saturday for the Wizards' game in Boston.

In the Wizards' most recent game Thursday, Black played 28 minutes in a 136-131 overtime loss to the Magic, finishing with 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal. Though he's typically received meaningful minutes for the Wizards when he suits up, Black's availability for the rest of the season will remain limited while he's signed to a two-way contract. Washington will opt to hold Black out Saturday, and the third-year forward will now be eligible to suit up for 10 of the Wizards' remaining 16 games of the campaign.

Harris (hip) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Harris sat out Friday's win over Memphis -- the second leg of a back-to-back -- due to left hip soreness. However, the veteran forward is set to return to action Sunday. With Harris returning to the lineup, Javonte Green should slide back to the second unit.

Strus (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Given the probable tag, it looks like Strus will make his 2025-26 regular-season debut Sunday. The seventh-year pro underwent surgery in late August to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot, but he has ramped up his activities and has been practicing with the G League's Cleveland Charge of late. Strus started 37 of his 50 regular-season games for the Cavaliers last season and averaged 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists over 25.5 minutes per game. He's likely to operate under a heavy minutes restriction off the bench when he returns.

Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers.

Williams was held out of Friday's win over Utah and could now miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to left knee injury management. If the backup big man is ruled out, Sidy Cissoko would likely continue to see increased minutes.

Traore recorded six points (2-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 17 minutes during Saturday's 104-97 loss to Philadelphia.

Traore was ineffective in his return from a one-game absence as he struggled with his shot while committing five turnovers. It's been an up-and-down season for the rookie first-rounder from France, but he has been a mainstay in the Nets' starting lineup since late January, and the extra playing time should help with his long-term development. Traore has averaged 10.2 points, 3.9 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 1.1 threes and 1.1 steals over 24.8 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

The Celtics intend to sign Bassey (personal) to a 10-day contract, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

Bassey didn't play Friday when the Santa Cruz Warriors lost to the Cleveland Charge in the G League, and now he's expected to join Boston on a 10-day deal. The big man will add some much-needed frontcourt depth behind Neemias Queta and Luka Garza while Nikola Vucevic (finger) is out.

Scheierman (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

Scheierman will shed his probable tag due to a right ankle sprain, though he'll likely slide back to the second unit Saturday due to Jayson Tatum (Achilles) returning to the lineup. Over his last five outings (two starts), Scheierman has averaged 9.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 29.6 minutes per tilt.
