NBA Player 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.

Hepburn (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Hepburn is still recovering from right knee surgery he underwent Jan. 8 to repair a torn meniscus. There's been no indication he's close to a return.

Murray-Boyles (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Murray-Boyles posted 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 22 minutes in Thursday's 128-114 victory over Miami, but he'll take a seat for the second half of Toronto's back-to-back set. In his absence, Sandro Mamukelashvili should see a few more minutes behind Jakob Poeltl.

Jackson-Davis (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Jackson-Davis is not a usual rotation player for Toronto, so his absence doesn't carry many fantasy implications. He's made 13 appearances since the All-Star break, playing double-digit minutes only once.

Quickley won't play in Friday's game against the Knicks due to right foot injury management, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

After missing eight consecutive contests while recovering from plantar fasciitis, Quickley has appeared in two straight games, including a 23-minute outing during Thursday's win over Miami. However, as expected, he'll take a seat for the second half of Toronto's back-to-back set for maintenance purposes. In Quickley's absence, Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter will be candidates to take on increased roles out of the backcourt.

Powell (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Like Marvin Bagley (shoulder), Powell was a late addition to the injury report. If one or both players end up sitting out, the Mavericks may need to rely heavily on Moussa Cisse.

Bagley (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Bagley was a late addition to the injury report. The Mavericks are going to be very shorthanded Friday, and Moussa Cisse could be asked to step into an expanded role if Bagley is unavailable.

Kolek (oblique) is questionable for Friday's game against Toronto.

Kolek remains day-to-day after missing the front end of this back-to-back set. With Miles McBride resting, Kolek could see some minutes as the third-string point guard Friday.

McBride (pelvis) is out for Friday's game against Toronto.

McBride will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set for injury management. Tyler Kolek (oblique) is questionable, so Jose Alvarado could pick up some extra run Friday.

Robinson has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors due to left ankle injury management.

Robinson will get a breather for the second leg of a back-to-back set after he recorded seven points, seven rebounds, three steals and one block across 19 minutes in Thursday's 112-106 win over the Celtics. In Robinson's absence Friday, Ariel Hukporti is likely to enter the rotation as the primary backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns.
