Sims closed Saturday's 127-95 loss to San Antonio with 10 points (5-7 FG), 10 rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes off the bench.

It was the fourth double-double of the season for Sims and first since Feb. 25. The fifth-year center has been in and out of the starting five in March, starting five of his last 10 games and averaging 6.3 points, 5.5 boards and 1.5 assists in 21.5 minutes.

George racked up 26 points (9-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, four steals, two assists and one block across 36 minutes in Saturday's 118-114 win over the Hornets.

Appearing in his second game following a 25-game suspension, George remained productive while contributing game highs in rebounds and steals. The star forward grabbed a season-high 13 rebounds en route to his second double-double on the campaign, and he tallied four swipes for a second straight game. He has also reached the 25-point mark in back-to-back outings.

Dieng logged 12 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists and four steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 127-95 loss to the Spurs.

Making his fifth straight start, Dieng set a new career high in steals while scoring in double digits for the ninth time in his last 12 contests (11 starts). Over that latter stretch, the fourth-year forward is averaging 10.8 points, 4.2 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.9 threes and 0.8 steals as he takes on a much bigger role in the Bucks' injury-depleted rotation.

Maxey (finger) generated 26 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds, one steal and one block across 43 minutes in Saturday's 118-114 win over the Hornets.

It was Maxey's first game since March 7, as the 25-year-old guard missed 10 straight games with a finger injury. However, he didn't need any time to reacclimate to game action, knocking down over 50 percent of his shot attempts while making significant contributions in the peripheral categories. Going back to early February, Maxey has now scored more than 20 points in 14 consecutive appearances.

Trent finished Saturday's 127-95 loss to San Antonio with 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 26 minutes.

The 18 points led the Bucks on the afternoon as Trent made his first start since Dec. 18 for the injury-ravaged club. The 27-year-old forward failed to score a point at all Wednesday, but he's scored in double digits in the other three of his last four games as he takes on a bigger role in the rotation. During that four-game stretch, Trent is averaging 12.3 points, 2.8 threes, 0.8 boards, 0.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 24.8 minutes.

Harris had 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes in Saturday's 109-87 win over the Timberwolves.

Harris turned in an extremely efficient performance and was the only Pistons player to score more than 13 points. The veteran forward has now scored in double figures in five straight games and has dished out at least four assists in four of them. The 33-year-old also tied his season high in blocks, finishing with at least four combined steals-plus-blocks for the fourth time this season.

Vassell closed Saturday's 127-95 win over the Bucks with 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 24 minutes.

The 25-year-old forward has a big day at both ends of the court, as he posted his best steals total since Dec. 10 while draining multiple three-pointers for the ninth time in 13 March appearances. On the month, Vassell is averaging 13.7 points, 3.8 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.0 steals a contest.

Wembanyama logged 23 points (7-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 127-95 victory over the Bucks.

His performance got overshadowed by Stephon Castle's fourth triple-double of the season, but Wembanyama led the Spurs in scoring on the afternoon while delivering his 38th double-double. The third-year superstar has pulled down 15 boards in three straight games and at least 12 in six of his last eight contests, averaging 24.1 points, 12.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.5 blocks, 1.8 threes and 1.5 steals over that stretch.

Williams (foot) participated in 5-on-5 drills at practice Saturday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

It's a huge step in Williams' recovery from a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot, and it's safe to assume his return is on the horizon. The center has already been ruled out for Saturday's matchup with the Jazz, so his next chance to play will come Monday against Memphis.

Brooks (hand) participated in 5-on-5 work Saturday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Brooks is seemingly nearing a return to action after missing Phoenix's last 16 games due to a fractured left hand. The 30-year-old forward can be considered questionable for Monday's game in Memphis, and his eventual return will leave fewer minutes available for Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming.
