  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Downgraded to out

    Murray (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic.

    Murray missed Friday's loss in Sacramento due to rest purposes during the second night of a back-to-back set, but he'll be sidelined Sunday due to a new hand injury. Given he was initially listed as questionable, Murray appears to be day-to-day. However, it's unclear if he'll suit up during the final week of the regular season, as the Pelicans have nothing to play for. With Trey Murphy (ankle) also sidelined Sunday, Jeremiah Fears should see increased usage.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Won't play Sunday

    Murphy (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic.

    Murphy has been downgraded from questionable to out and will be back on the sidelines Sunday after making two straight appearances following a three-game absence. With Dejounte Murray (hand) also sidelined, Jeremiah Fears should see increased usage in New Orleans' backcourt.

  • Noah Clowney PF | BKN

    Nets' Noah Clowney: Ruled out vs. Wizards

    Clowney (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against Washington.

    Clowney was added to the team's injury report as questionable due to a left ankle issue, and he's since been downgraded to out. Expect Chaney Johnson and Jalen Wilson to see more opportunities in the frontcourt Sunday as a result.

  • Terance Mann SG | BKN

    Nets' Terance Mann: Now tagged as questionable

    Mann (Achilles/knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

    Mann was previously listed as probable, but it looks as though he'll be a true game-time call for Sunday's matchup. Tyson Etienne and Ochai Agbaji could be in line for more minutes if Mann ultimately can't go.

  • Jett Howard SG | ORL

    Magic's Jett Howard: Listed out Sunday

    Howard is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to a left ankle sprain, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

    It's not clear as to when Howard picked up the injury, but his absence should have only a minor impact on the Orlando rotation Sunday. Jamal Cain and Noah Penda could pick up a few additional minutes in Howard's place.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Takes part in practice

    Towns (elbow) participated in practice Sunday, Jared Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

    Towns was held out of Friday's game against Chicago after suffering a right elbow injury, but it appears he's trending in the right direction after practicing Sunday morning. The team should have an official designation for the big man closer to Monday's game in Atlanta.

  • Jamir Watkins SF | WAS

    Wizards' Jamir Watkins: Provides 14 points off bench

    Watkins provided 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 19 minutes before getting ejected from Saturday's 152-136 loss to Miami.

    Watkins reached double figures in the scoring column for the first time since March 21, and he did so Saturday with efficiency. The 24-year-old has been deployed as a reserve in six consecutive games, and he's averaging 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 19.5 minutes over this span.

  • Jaden Hardy SG | WAS

    Wizards' Jaden Hardy: Heavily involved in loss

    Hardy racked up 19 points (7-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 152-136 loss to Miami.

    Hardy had his three-point shot working throughout Saturday's clash, marking the third time in his last six games that he's torched the nets for five or more made treys. He was also involved on the defensive end by racking up at least one steal and one block for the first time since March 17. Hardy is averaging 16.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists over his last six matchups.

  • Paul Reed C | DET

    Pistons' Paul Reed: Scores in double figures

    Reed provided 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals in 18 minutes during Saturday's 116-93 win over the 76ers.

    Reed provided a solid boost off the bench Saturday, and he was far more involved across the board than in his previous showing, when he was held to four points and four rebounds in 16 minutes Thursday against Minnesota. The DePaul product has scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances and is averaging 11.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks in 19.6 minutes during this stretch.

  • Adou Thiero SF | LAL

    Lakers' Adou Thiero: Returns from G League

    The Lakers recalled Thiero from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday.

    Since their last game Thursday, the Lakers have lost Austin Reaves (oblique) and Luka Doncic (hamstring) to long-term injuries, and with Marcus Smart (ankle) joining them on the sideline for Sunday's game in Dallas, Thiero was summoned from the G League to provide reinforcement. Even if he's included in the rotation Sunday, Thiero likely won't be in store for enough minutes to make a meaningful fantasy impact.
