  • Suns' Mark Williams: Trending in right direction

    Williams (foot) remains listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets, but he's trending in the right direction and is expected to be cleared to play following pregame warmups Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Williams appears set to return from a 15-game absence due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot. Given the length of his absence, Williams will likely be operating with a minutes restriction and could come off the bench if he plays.

  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Doubtful against Orlando

    Bagley (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's game against Orlando.

    Bagley had 26 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in the win over the Trail Blazers on March 27. However, he missed the following two contests and appears to be heading toward another absence. If Bagley doesn't suit up, Dwight Powell will likely see increased playing time.

  • Hugo Gonzalez SF | BOS

    Celtics' Hugo Gonzalez: Exits rotation Wednesday

    Gonzalez (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Celtics' 147-129 win over the Heat.

    The rookie first-round pick is averaging just 14.8 minutes per game, but he had been a consistent part of head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation throughout the season until he fell out of the mix Wednesday. Mazzulla ended up going with Baylor Scheierman (18 minutes) and Jordan Walsh (five minutes) as the team's reserve options on the wing and at forward, resulting in Gonzalez being handed his first DNP-CD since Nov. 29. Gonzalez could eventually re-emerge as an option in the second unit, but he's unlikely to be in line for extended playing time if he reclaims a rotation spot.

  • Caleb Martin SF | DAL

    Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Doubtful for Friday

    Martin is doubtful for Friday's game versus Orlando due to a right plantar fascia strain.

    Martin is expected to miss a ninth consecutive contest Friday. Max Christie, Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton are the most likely candidates to handle more playing time for the Mavericks in Martin's expected absence.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Not listed on injury report

    Gafford (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against Orlando.

    Gafford exited Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee in the second quarter due to a right shoulder stinger, though he's set to play Friday. Over 11 appearances in March, the big man averaged 15.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.5 minutes per contest.

  • Klay Thompson SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Set for Friday return

    Thompson (rest) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against Orlando.

    Thompson received a night off during Tuesday's loss to the Bucks but will be available for Friday's tilt. He's averaging 10.7 points and 1.5 assists in 21.3 minutes over his previous six appearances.

  • Naji Marshall SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Off injury report for Friday

    Marshall (illness) is off the injury report for Friday's game versus Orlando.

    Following a two-game absence due to an illness, Marshall is ready to take the floor for the Mavericks on Friday. The forward has averaged 20.9 points, 5.0 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 32.6 minutes per contest in his last seven games.

  • PJ Washington PF | DAL

    Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Tagged doubtful for Friday

    Washington (illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Magic.

    Washington looks to be headed for his third straight absence while under the weather. Assuming he's downgraded to out before tipoff, Khris Middleton should be prepared to shoulder 20-plus minutes again Friday.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Ruled out against Hornets

    Nembhard (back/neck) is listed as out for Friday's game against Charlotte.

    Nembhard will miss a second consecutive contest because of cervical and lumbar soreness. With T.J. McConnell (hamstring) also ruled out, Quenton Jackson may find himself back in the starting lineup.

  • Johni Broome PF | PHI

    76ers' Johni Broome: Remains without timetable

    Broome (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Broome underwent surgery in late February to address a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, and he remains without a clear timetable for a return. The rookie second-rounder can be considered week-to-week until Philadelphia provides an update on his progress.
