Livers (shoulder) will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Livers will miss the Suns' final two games before the All-Star break, and depending on how he's feeling afterward, he could miss even more time. The 27-year-old forward suffered a sprained left shoulder Thursday against Golden State. Livers has appeared in 29 games this season, averaging 2.2 points and 1.9 rebounds across 10.1 minutes.

Allen (knee) will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Allen had been playing well of late and was coming off a 21-point, five-rebound, four-assist performance in a loss to the Warriors on Thursday. He has scored at least 20 points in four of his previous five contests, but now he'll be sidelined until after the All-Star break. Jordan Goodwin and Royce O'Neale should be in line for more minutes while Allen is sidelined.

Green (hamstring/hip) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Green will make his sixth appearance of the 2025-26 season and return from a three-game absence due to hamstring and hip injuries. The 23-year-old guard has come off the bench and played limited minutes in each of his last three appearances. He's expected to remain with the second unit Saturday, and he will operate under an unspecified minutes restriction, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. He is averaging 9.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 13.3 minutes per game as a reserve this season.

Booker (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Booker will shake off his questionable tag and return from a seven-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. However, he'll operate under an unspecified minutes restriction, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. Over 11 January appearances before picking up the ankle injury, the star guard averaged 25.3 points, 5.9 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game. He shot 45.3 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from downtown over that stretch.

Head coach Steve Kerr said Saturday that Curry (knee) can be considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, and there's a "good chance" the superstar doesn't play again until after the All-Star break, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Curry will miss a third consecutive contest Saturday due to a right knee injury, and it appears the Warriors will err on the side of caution with their veteran point guard. Pat Spencer, De'Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski (illness) are candidates to see an uptick in minutes for as long as Curry is sidelined. He has two more opportunities to return before the All-Star break.

The Warriors plan to have Porzingis (Achilles) wait until after the All-Star break to make his team debut, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Porzingis has joined the Warriors after being traded from Atlanta, but the veteran big man has been dealing with an illness and an Achilles injury of late. Golden State will give Porzingis some additional time to recover before making his Warriors debut, holding him out until at least Feb. 19, when the team plays their first game after the All-Star break. With Porzingis sidelined, Draymond Green, Al Horford and Quinten Post should see plenty of minutes in the frontcourt.

Landale won't start against the Hornets on Saturday, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

The Australian big man got the starting nod in his Hawks debut Thursday, though he'll slide to the second unit Saturday with Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) back in action. Landale posted 26 points (10-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and four blocks over 32 minutes in Thursday's win over Utah and should operate as Atlanta's primary backup center going forward.

Johnson (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Johnson was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest, but now it's been confirmed that the sharpshooting forward will return from a 23-game absence. Johnson, who hasn't played since Dec. 23, is averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 30.6 minutes per game across 28 regular-season appearances thus far.

Braun (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Chicago.

Braun was previously considered probable, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. He has played in two games since returning from a 12-game absence, playing 26 and 43 minutes, respectively. He's shot 2-for-6 from the field in both outings.

Jokic (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Chicago.

Jokic will shed his questionable tag due to a sprained left ankle and suit up Saturday. The three-time MVP has appeared in four outings following a 16-game absence with a knee injury, averaging 25.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.5 steals across 33.0 minutes per tilt during that span.
