Kuzma is out for Friday's game against the Pacers due to left calf soreness.

After being absent from Milwaukee's original injury report, Kuzma has been scratched from the lineup altogether Friday. The 30-year-old forward can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Monday's tilt against the Magic. With the Bucks already missing several bodies, Gary Trent and Pete Nance are both worthy of streaming consideration.

Harris (hip) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Harris sat out Thursday's matchup against Washington due to a sore left hip, though the absence appeared to be precautionary on the front end of a back-to-back set. The veteran forward is expected to return to the lineup Friday after receiving a maintenance day. Harris has scored in double figures in six straight games, averaging 14.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 28.8 minutes.

Robinson is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks with a bruised left quadriceps.

After logging 30 minutes during Thursday's upset loss to the Wizards, Robinson remains likely to be available for the second leg of this back-to-back. Robinson has averaged 14.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 3.6 three-pointers in 26.8 minutes per contest in his last 13 games, shooting 43.9 percent from downtown.

Saric (not with team) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Saric was traded from Sacramento to Chicago and then rerouted to Detroit, and he's yet to join his new team. It remains to be seen if he'll be a part of Detroit's plans moving forward.

Duren (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Duren left Thursday's game against the Wizards early due to right knee soreness, and the center remains day-to-day. It wouldn't be a surprise if the team held him out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. If Duren doesn't suit up, the team could rely more on Isaiah Stewart, Ronald Holland and Paul Reed.

The Thunder signed Boeheim (thumb) to a two-way contract Friday, per Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic.

Boeheim has already been a member of the Thunder's G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue, but now he can bounce around with the parent club as needed. The sharpshooter is currently nursing a thumb injury, so it remains to be seen when he'll retake the floor, whether it be for the Blue or the Thunder.

The Grizzlies waived Gordon on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

This was an expected move by Memphis, as Gordon was never expected to stick around after the 76ers salary dumped him Thursday. Gordon will likely draw some interest from contending teams on the open market.

The Thunder waived Youngblood on Friday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

The Thunder needed to clear a roster spot to sign Buddy Boeheim to a two-way contract. Youngblood made 32 regular-season appearances for the Thunder, but he saw just 5.4 minutes per contest.

Terry (recently traded) is out for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Terry came over from the Knicks on Thursday via trade, but he has not yet joined his new team for action. His next chance to make his Pelicans debut comes Monday against the Kings. Given the uncertainty surrounding his role, Terry's absence doesn't seem to shake up the New Orleans rotation.

Anunoby (toe) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons

Anunoby was initially listed as probable for Friday's contest, so the downgrade casts some doubt on his availability. If he's unable to play, it would mark his first missed game since Dec. 23. With Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) doubtful and Jose Alvarado (recently traded) and Miles McBride (abdomen) unavailable, Landry Shamet, Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek are all candidates for expanded offensive roles, especially if Anunoby gets ruled out or has limitations Friday.
