  • Klay Thompson SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Out Sunday, as expected

    Thompson (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    As expected, Thompson has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss the first half of Dallas' back-to-back set. The veteran should return to action Monday in New Orleans, while Khris Middleton should see increased usage Sunday.

  • Pascal Siakam PF | IND

    Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Won't play Sunday

    Siakam (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    This will be the fourth consecutive game on the inactive list for Siakam, and with Tuesday's game being the first of a back-to-back set, Siakam could be slated for at least one more game on the bench. Kobe Brown should continue to start sans Siakam, and there will be more minutes available for Obi Toppin and Micah Potter.

  • Franz Wagner PF | ORL

    Magic's Franz Wagner: Still out Monday

    Wagner (ankle) will remain out for Monday's game in Atlanta, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

    Wagner remains without a timetable to return and continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff, suggesting he's still not close. Until the Magic provide an update on where he's at in his rehab, Wagner should be considered week-to-week.

  • Anthony Black PG | ORL

    Magic's Anthony Black: Not playing Monday

    Black (abdomen) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

    Black is slated to miss a fifth consecutive game while recovering from a left lateral abdominal muscle strain. His next opportunity to play is Tuesday against the Thunder, but he can be considered doubtful for that contest given the Magic's lack of an update for the third-year pro.

  • Jett Howard SG | ORL

    Magic's Jett Howard: Questionable for Monday

    Howard (illness) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Hawks, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

    Howard missed Saturday's win over Miami, which resulted in some extended minutes for Noah Penda and the inclusion of Jamal Cain in the rotation. It's likely the Magic will go with a similar arrangement if Howard remains sidelined Monday.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Cleared to play vs. Indiana

    Turner (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Turner drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game due to right patella tendinitis, but the veteran center has been given the green light to play in the second leg of the Bucks' back-to-back set. He's failed to score in double digits in seven of his last eight outings, and over that span he has connected on just 37.1 percent of his field-goal attempts.

  • Bobby Portis PF | MIL

    Bucks' Bobby Portis: Will play Sunday

    Portis (back) will play Sunday versus the Pacers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Portis will power through the back issues and make himself available for the second leg of this back-to-back set. He's averaging 13.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 triples per game this season.

  • Ousmane Dieng SF | MIL

    Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Won't play Sunday

    Dieng (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Dieng will end up missing both ends of the Bucks' back-to-back set while battling through an illness, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the Cavaliers. With Kevin Porter (knee) also sidelined, the Bucks will turn to Ryan Rollins, AJ Green and Taurean Prince to each take on elevated roles against Indiana.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Will play Sunday

    Antetokounmpo (calf) is good to go for Sunday's game versus the Pacers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Antetokounmpo skipped Saturday's loss to the Hawks, but he'll be back in action Sunday, which will likely shift Jericho Sims back to the second unit. Antetokounmpo is averaging 27.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks per game this season.

  • Dalen Terry SF | PHI

    76ers' Dalen Terry: Nursing shoulder injury

    Terry is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a left shoulder impingement.

    Terry may have suffered the injury during Saturday's game against the Nets, when he fell to the floor hard after being inadvertently tripped mid-air by Ben Saraf. Terry has averaged 21.0 minutes per game over his last four outings, and if he's unable to play Sunday, then those minutes would be absorbed by MarJon Beauchamp, Trendon Watford and Kyle Lowry.
