Jerome (calf) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Jerome has played in each of the Grizzlies' last two games, though he'll likely sit out of Saturday's contest while managing a right calf injury that cost him the first half of the 2025-26 regular season. Javon Small and Cam Spencer are poised for larger roles, assuming Jerome is ruled out.

Morant (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Morant continues to be sidelined by a UCL sprain in his left elbow. His next chance to play is Monday against the Hawks, though Morant should be considered doubtful until the Grizzlies provide an updated report on the star point guard's injury.

Post (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Post didn't play in Friday's loss to Detroit because of a nagging foot issue. The Warriors are already down Al Horford (calf) and Kristaps Porzingis (back) for this one. On top of that, Draymond Green (back) is also carrying a questionable designation. If Post can suit up, he could be looking at more action versus Atlanta. However, if Post and Green join Horford and Porzingis on the shelf, the Dubs should rely mostly on Gui Santos and Omer Yurtseven to handle the bulk of the work underneath the basket.

Castle (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Castle will miss a second consecutive game due to right hip soreness, and his next opportunity to play is Monday against the Heat, which is the start of the Spurs' three-game road trip. Devin Vassell and Harrison Barnes should continue to operate in larger roles for as long as Castle is sidelined.

Porzingis (back) won't suit up for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Porzingis exited Friday's 115-101 loss to Detroit because of a back injury. While he already indicated he likely wouldn't be available Saturday against the Hawks, the latest update confirms what most had already expected. With Al Horford (calf) out and Draymond Green (back) and Quinten Post (foot) questionable, Gui Santos and Omer Yurtseven may split time in the middle versus Atlanta.

Wembanyama is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to right ankle soreness.

Wembanyama may have picked up the injury during the Spurs' 101-100 win over the Suns on Thursday, when he played 35 minutes and finished with 34 points, 12 rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block. Luke Kornet would be the top candidate to enter San Antonio's starting lineup if Wembanyama is unable to play against Indiana.

Tyson (toe) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Tyson is nursing a left big toe sprain, and it appears the issue will prevent him from playing in Saturday's contest after his injury status was downgraded. His absence would result in more minutes being available for Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Keon Ellis.

Larsson (foot) is available for Saturday's game against Houston.

Larsson was originally listed as questionable for Saturday's game due to a bruised right foot, but the second-year pro has been cleared to play against the Rockets. He has averaged 14.4 points, 3.3 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 threes over 31.3 minutes per game over his last eight outings.

Fontecchio (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Fontecchio popped up on the injury report due to a back issue, but the fourth-year pro has been cleared to play in Saturday's game. He'll likely start against Houston due to the absence of Andrew Wiggins (toe).

Powell is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Rockets due to left calf tightness.

Powell is a new addition to Miami's injury report and may have tweaked his calf during the Heat's loss to the Lakers on Thursday, when he played 33 minutes off the bench and finished with 20 points, three assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal. His late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Saturday, and if he ends up being ruled out, then Myron Gardner, Nikola Jovic and Kel'el Ware would all be in line for more minutes.
