  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Struggles with shot in loss

    Edwards accumulated 19 points (6-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-10 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to Oklahoma City.

    Edwards struggled to get his shot to drop, and had his worst performance of the season at the charity stripe. Oklahoma City gave him trouble by doubling him early, and Edwards finished with a team-high six turnovers. The turnovers were a team-wide issue for Minnesota, as they coughed up the rock 22 times while only handing out 18 total assists, and they were outscored 29-6 in turnover points in the 13-point defeat.

    Wizards' Leaky Black: Not playing Monday

    Black has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain.

    Black is working through an ankle injury that will keep him out of Monday's game, but he could be available for the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set against the Pistons on Tuesday. Black has averaged 12.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.7 threes over 32.7 minutes per game over his last three outings. Jamir Watkins and Jaden Hardy will see a bump in minutes in Black's absence.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Available to play

    Williams (knee) is available for Sunday's game versus the 76ers.

    Williams is set to return after a one-game stint on the sidelines, which could push Sidy Cissoko back out of the rotation. Williams is averaging 6.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game this season.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Quickly returns to bench

    Antetokounmpo (leg) returned to the bench during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Pacers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Antetokounmpo went to the locker room with medical staff at the start of the fourth quarter, but his return to the bench indicates that he'll be available to re-enter the game. The two-time MVP has played 23 minutes and is up to 31 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists.

  • 76ers' Andre Drummond: Available to play

    Drummond (back) is available for Sunday's game versus Portland, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Drummond is set to return from a three-game absence Sunday, and he'll likely be operating in a reserve role behind Adem Bona. Through five games in March, Drummond has averaged 4.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.

  • Adem Bona PF | PHI

    76ers' Adem Bona: Good to go Sunday

    Bona (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Bona carried a questionable tag into Sunday's contest due to a back injury, but he will be able to play through it. Bona has started each of the last five games, averaging 7.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 26.6 minutes per contest over that stretch.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Goes to locker room

    Antetokounmpo went to the locker room at the start of the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Pacers due to an apparent leg injury, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

    Antetokounmpo appeared to land awkwardly on his left leg while finishing a dunk attempt on Jay Huff late in the third quarter. He didn't go to the locker room immediately, but he eventually went back with trainers and will undergo further tests to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. If not, Antetokounmpo will finish with 31 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists over 23 minutes.

  • Drake Powell SG | BKN

    Nets' Drake Powell: Off injury report

    Powell (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    Powell got the night off Saturday as he manages a left knee injury, but he will return to action Monday. Over his last three appearances, Powell has averaged 10.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 27.3 minutes per contest.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Not listed on injury report

    Claxton (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    Claxton will return from a one-game absence Monday, and he should see his usual minutes as a starter. Through six games in March, Claxton has averaged 6.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest.

  • Ben Saraf PG | BKN

    Nets' Ben Saraf: Nursing calf injury

    Saraf is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Portland due to a left calf contusion.

    The rookie first-rounder likely picked up the injury during Saturday's game against the 76ers, when he played 31 minutes and finished with 12 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals in a 104-97 loss. Tyson Etienne would see a significant bump in minutes if Saraf was ruled out for Monday's home contest.
