NBA Player News

Richard (back) is now being listed as out for Tuesday's game versus the Kings.

Richard was listed in the starting lineup, so he's a very late scratch for Tuesday's game. Pat Spencer will draw the start in Richard's absence, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Lakers.

Dosunmu contributed 24 points (10-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three steals and one assist across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 124-104 win over the Pacers.

Dosunmu struggled from three-point range but was efficient from inside the arc, and he finished as the only player to score at least 20 points. The 26-year-old guard was also one of three Minnesota players to log at least three steals and has tallied multiple swipes in three of his last five outings. He has reached the 15-point threshold in seven of his nine appearances since entering the starting lineup March 17, and he's likely to continue seeing an expanded role until Jaden McDaniels (knee) returns.

Plowden will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

With DeMar DeRozan (hamstring) sidelined, Plowden will step into the starting five. As a starter this season (four games), the two-way player has averaged 13.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 32.8 minutes per tilt.

Hayes won't play Tuesday versus the Thunder due to left foot soreness, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

Maxi Kleber will have the chance for some extended minutes with Hayes out, and Drew Timme might be able to get into the rotation. For now, Hayes should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Leons will start Tuesday's game against the Kings, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and Gui Santos (pelvis) unavailable, Leons will start against Sacramento. During his lone start in a loss to New York on March 15, the two-way player chipped in two points, five rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 20 minutes.

Richard will start Tuesday against the Kings, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Richard is getting the start with Gui Santos (pelvis) unavailable, and the former will be joined in the first unit by Brandin Podziemski, De'Anthony Melton, Malevy Leons and Draymond Green. As a starter this season, Richard has averaged 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.3 steals per game.

Curry (knee) will come off the bench and is expected to play about 25 minutes in Tuesday's game against the Kings, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Curry will come off the bench for a second consecutive contest following a 27-game absence due to a right knee issue. During Sunday's loss to Houston, the superstar supplied 29 points (11-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes off the bench.

Martin (heel) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Clippers.

Martin hasn't played since March 15, but he was listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game, which can be considered a sign of progress. His next chance to play will come Wednesday in Phoenix.

Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Gafford will miss the front end of this back-to-back due to a right shoulder impingement, and the big man faces a short turnaround if he hopes to play in Phoenix on Wednesday. Marvin Bagley will likely start in Gafford's stead, while Dwight Powell is expected to see increased playing time.

Bagley (shoulder) will play Tuesday against the Clippers.

Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is out, so Bagley could be looking at a starting role Tuesday evening. Per 36 minutes this season, Bagley has averaged 18.4 points, 11.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.
