NBA Player News

Vukcevic (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Heat.

Vukcevic will miss a fifth straight game, and his final chance to suit up this season will come Sunday in Cleveland. Julian Reese has been taking advantage of all the injuries in Washington's frontcourt, and that should continue Friday.

Champagnie (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Miami.

Champagnie is a rest candidate after playing through his questionable tag Thursday against Chicago. He played 18 minutes Thursday with 11 points, eight rebounds and two assists in the loss.

Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.

Coulibaly has a chance to return after sitting out the front end of Washington's back-to-back set Thursday, which was a 119-108 loss to the Bulls. Over his past eight appearances, Coulibaly has averaged 14.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 24.1 minutes.

Gill (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.

A maintenance day is on the table for Gill after he played through his questionable tag Thursday. Gill produced 14 points, three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes against the Bulls on Thursday.

Johnson (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.

Johnson has a chance to return from a three-game absence Friday, but even if he's cleared, he'll likely see limited minutes. He's made only four appearances over Washington's past 11 games, averaging 10.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.5 minutes during that span.

Hyland (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Hyland will miss his first game since Dec. 6 due to soreness in his right hip. Mike Conley and Terrence Shannon could see increased run with this news.

Reid (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Presumably, the Timberwolves are contemplating a maintenance day for Reid here. He started in the absence of Rudy Gobert on Wednesday against the Magic and finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 24 minutes.

Dosunmu (calf) is good to go for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Dosunmu is set to return from a one-game absence after getting a maintenance day Wednesday against Orlando. He could see a usage rate spike with so many key players sidelined Friday.

Randle (hand) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Randle will be sidelined for his second straight contest after failing to shed his questionable tag. Kyle Anderson could step into an increased role with this news.

Tyson (toe) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Tyson is trending toward ending a 10-game absence Friday. With the Cavaliers resting multiple players, Tyson should have a clear path to 20-plus minutes if he gets the green light, though it's safe to assume he'll have some restrictions after a lengthy layoff.
