NBA Player News

Walker (back) is listed as out for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

Walker suffered a back injury after taking a hard fall in the 114-113 loss to the Clippers on March 27. As a result, he will miss a fourth consecutive contest. With Walker unavailable, Kobe Brown is expected to remain in the starting lineup.

Towns (elbow) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game in Atlanta.

Towns will return from a one-game absence Monday, which will likely shift Mitchell Robinson back to the second unit, and there will be fewer minutes available for Mohamed Diawara and Ariel Hukporti. Towns is averaging 20.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 triples and 1.3 stocks per game this season.

Robinson (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Orlando.

Robinson has played well of late, most recently finishing with 11 points, two rebounds and two assists while shooting 50.0 percent from deep across 23 minutes in Saturday's 116-93 win over Philadelphia. However, he's in danger of missing Monday's contest because of a strained right hip. If Robinson can't play against the Magic, Kevin Huerter, Caris LeVert and Ronald Holland would likely see more action, with one of those players expected to enter the starting lineup.

Toppin (foot) is good to go for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

Toppin was listed as probable and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. Pascal Siakam (ankle) is out for Sunday's game, so Toppin could see some more shots and minutes coming his way.

Harris (knee) is questionable for Monday's game in Orlando.

Harris played through the knee issue Saturday and looked good across 27 minutes, but he'll likely again need to test his knee at shootaround before an official decision is made on his status. If Harris can't give it a go, that would open up minutes for Ronald Holland and Caris LeVert.

Cryer has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Rockets due to an illness.

An illness will keep Cryer out of Sunday's game, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Kings. Pat Spencer should be more involved in the rotation Sunday with Cryer unavailable.

Miller will start Sunday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

With Matas Buzelis (illness) sidelined, Miller will slide into the starting lineup. As a starter this season (seven games), Miller has averaged 11.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 stocks in 28.4 minutes.

Liddell is starting Sunday versus the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

This will be Liddell's first start of the season, and he could receive heavy minutes as one of the last men standing in Brooklyn's frontcourt. Per 36 minutes this season, Liddell has averaged 9.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 triples and 1.4 blocks per game.

Goodwin will start Sunday's game against the Bulls, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Goodwin will surprisingly take Collin Gillespie's spot in the starting lineup Sunday. It's unclear if this will stick moving forward, but as a starter this season, Goodwin has averaged 9.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 29.1 minutes a night.

Ighodaro won't start Sunday's game against the Bulls, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Ighodaro has made 16 straight starts but will cede his spot in the starting lineup to Mark Williams, who returned from a month-long absence Thursday but operated off the bench. As a reserve this season (54 games), Ighodaro has averaged 5.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 stocks in 20.1 minutes.
