    Suns' Amir Coffey: Falls out of rotation

    Coffey (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Suns' 122-115 loss to the Raptors.

    After appearing in seven of the Suns' first eight games out of the All-Star break while averaging 5.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.9 minutes, Coffey has now been left out of the rotation for two of the past three contests. Though Dillon Brooks (hand) is likely still a week or more away from a return, the Suns appear set to move forward with Grayson Allen, Haywood Highsmith and Rasheer Fleming as their primary reserve options at forward and on the wing, which leaves Coffey and Ryan Dunn on the outside looking in for rotation spots.

  • Gradey Dick SG | TOR

    Raptors' Gradey Dick: Exits rotation Friday

    Dick (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Raptors' 122-115 win over the Suns.

    Dick had appeared in each of Toronto's previous five contests while averaging 5.8 points in 6.8 minutes, but he ended up being the odd man out after head coach Darko Rajakovic condensed his rotation to nine Friday. The third-year wing's chances of re-emerging as a regular in the rotation will become even more difficult moving forward, as Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) appears to be closing in on a return, which will bring the Toronto roster back to full strength.

  • Dalen Terry SF | PHI

    76ers' Dalen Terry: Returns to Saturday's game

    Terry (undisclosed) checked in at the 3:48 mark of the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Nets, per the broadcast.

    Terry exited to the locker room in the second quarter after being tripped mid-air by Ben Saraf, but the former was cleared by medical staff to return to Saturday's game. Terry is expected to see extended minutes for the 76ers due to the absences of Kelly Oubre (elbow), Tyrese Maxey (finger) and Paul George (suspension).

  • Kam Jones PG | IND

    Pacers' Kam Jones: Moves back out of rotation

    Jones (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Pacers' 101-92 loss to the Knicks.

    The Pacers were without Pascal Siakam (knee) and Quenton Jackson (calf) on Friday, but the returns of T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Obi Toppin (foot) were enough to result in Jones falling back out of the rotation. The rookie guard out of Marquette had previously appeared in each of the Pacers' last three games, averaging 5.7 points, 5.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 19.3 minutes over that stretch.

  • Corey Kispert SG | ATL

    Hawks' Corey Kispert: Retreating to bench

    Kispert is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Bucks, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.

    Dyson Daniels (toe) is back from a one-game absence, pushing Kispert back to the second unit. Across his last six outings as a reserve, Kispert has averaged 11.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 18.9 minutes per game.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Available Saturday

    Wembanyama (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

    Wembanyama has officially been cleared to play this afternoon after missing Thursday's loss to Denver with right ankle soreness. While Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson remained optimistic Wembanyama would be cleared to play, the star center's status was technically a game-time decision until he completed his pregame routine. Before the one-game absence, Wembanyama had been on an absolute tear, averaging 33.3 points per game over his last four outings, which is well above his season average of 24.2 points.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Joins starting lineup

    Sims is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

    Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is sitting out Saturday, clearing the way at power forward for Sims to draw his 10th start of the season. Sims has averaged 5.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.3 minutes per tilt across nine games as a starter this year, shooting a ridiculous 85.7 percent from the floor during that stretch.

  • Ryan Rollins SG | MIL

    Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Starting vs. Atlanta

    Rollins is in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Hawks on Saturday.

    Rollins came off the bench during the Bucks' 112-105 loss to the Heat on Thursday, but he put together a productive performance with 16 points, 10 assists, five rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers over 33 minutes. He'll move back into the starting lineup alongside Kevin Porter in the frontcourt for Saturday's game due to the absence of Ousmane Dieng (illness).

  • Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Available Saturday

    Kalkbrenner (illness) is listed as available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

    The rookie center will return after a one-game absence and should reclaim his reserve role behind Moussa Diabate, likely pushing Xavier Tillman out of the rotation. Over his last eight appearances, Kalkbrenner has provided steady rim protection and efficiency, averaging 5.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 16.1 minutes per contest during that span.

  • Coby White PG | CHA

    Hornets' Coby White: Available Saturday

    White (heel) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

    A bruised heel won't stop White from playing Saturday, but he remains difficult to trust in fantasy lineups with his workload limitations. Over his first seven games for the Hornets, the star guard has averaged 11.9 points, 3.6 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per contest.
