Jerome (ankle) is out for Sunday's season finale against the Rockets.

Jerome will end the 2025-26 season having missed 11 games in a row. He didn't make his season debut until Jan. 31 and didn't play more than three consecutive games all year. Still, when he took the floor, he played well. Across his 15 appearances, the guard averaged 19.7 points, 5.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 22.6 minutes.

Randle (hand) is listed as out for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

The Timberwolves are locked into the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. As a result, Randle and the rest of the Timberwolves' starting lineup won't suit up for the final game of the regular season. Without Randle in the equation, Julian Phillips and Enrique Freeman should see more work, with at least one of those players potentially entering the starting lineup.

Monk (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Portland.

Monk will miss Sacramento's regular-season finale while attending to a personal matter. He will finish the 2025-26 campaign with averages of 12.5 points, 3.0 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 0.6 steals across 22.0 minutes per game in 62 regular-season appearances (three starts).

Green is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to lower-back injury management.

The veteran big man may be held out of Golden State's regular-season finale, which would open up minutes for guys like Malevy Leons and Charles Bassey. Green has scored in single digits in five straight games, averaging 5.0 points, 8.0 assists, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks across 28.4 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Jones (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Jones will miss a sixth straight game due to a right hamstring strain. It remains to be seen whether he'll be ready for the start of the playoffs next week, as he'll have an entire week to continue his rehab. Jones averaged 5.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in 64 appearances (37 starts) in the regular season.

Murray (ankle) will be sidelined for the Kings' final game of the season Sunday against the Trail Blazers.

Murray will end the season having not played since Feb. 25. The fourth-year forward couldn't get things going, struggling with injuries and appearing in just 23 games. He averaged 14.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals in 34.5 minutes.

Johnson (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Though they could drop to the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference with a loss and a Lakers win over the Jazz, the Nuggets will prioritize rest for Johnson and multiple other key rotation players. Johnson will wind up sitting out two straight games to close out the regular season, but he should be ready to handle a 30-plus-minute role once postseason play gets underway. Though Johnson shot a career-best 48 percent from the field and 43 percent from long distance in his first season in Denver, he was limited to just 54 appearances and saw his counting statistics take a hit while taking on a lower-usage role than he had handled with Brooklyn in 2024-25.

Westbrook (toe) is out for Sunday's season finale against the Trail Blazers.

Westbrook will end the 2025-26 season having missed 11 consecutive games. Though the Kings struggled this season, Westbrook had a relatively strong year. In his 64 appearances, the veteran averaged 15.2 points, 6.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 29.0 minutes.

Post (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Post will miss a seventh straight game due to a right foot injury, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday during the Play-In Tournament. The big man will finish the regular season with averages of 7.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 17.3 minutes per showing across 67 outings (35 starts).

Murphy (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Murphy will miss a fourth consecutive contest. With Dejounte Murray (hand) also ruled out, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole will likely be the starting options out of the backcourt against the Timberwolves.
