  • Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Returning to action Sunday

    Vucevic (finger) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

    As expected, Vucevic will be available for the first time since fracturing his right ring finger March 6. Given it wasn't a lower-body injury, the veteran's conditioning should be up to speed, but he figures to still play limited minutes behind Neemias Queta while Vucevic shakes off some rust. In 11 appearances with the Celtics before suffering the injury, Vucevic averaged 11.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 stocks in 23.4 minutes per game.

  • Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Downgraded to out

    Champagnie (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.

    Champagnie will rest during the second half of Washington's weekend back-to-back set after posting 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 loss to the Heat. With the Wizards' lengthy injury report, Jamir Watkins, Leaky Black and Julian Reese are candidates for increased roles.

  • Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Ruled out Sunday

    Vukcevic (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.

    Vukcevic will miss both halves of Washington's weekend back-to-back set. With Alex Sarr (toe) already out, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese are candidates for increased roles.

  • Tre Johnson SG | WAS

    Wizards' Tre Johnson: Out Sunday

    Johnson (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.

    After posting 11 points (5-13 FG), four assists and three rebounds in 25 minutes during Saturday's loss in Miami, Johnson will miss the second half of Washington's back-to-back set. Given the lengthy injury report, Jaden Hardy, Jamir Watkins and Sharife Cooper are candidates for increased roles.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Won't play Sunday

    Coulibaly (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.

    Coulibaly will miss the second half of Washington's back-to-back set after posting 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Saturday's 152-136 loss to Miami. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Bulls. Given the Wizards' lengthy injury report, Leaky Black and Jamir Watkins are candidates for increased roles.

  • Ben Saraf PG | BKN

    Nets' Ben Saraf: Out Sunday

    Saraf (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

    Saraf has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game since March 18. In his absence, Tyson Etienne and Malachi Smith are candidates for increased roles.

  • Terance Mann SG | BKN

    Nets' Terance Mann: Downgraded to out

    Mann (Achilles/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

    Mann was initially listed as probable, but he was downgraded to questionable Sunday morning and is now officially ruled out. Given the Nets' lengthy injury report, plenty of reserves will be called upon for expanded minutes, including Chaney Johnson and Malachi Smith.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Ruled out Sunday

    Edwards (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

    Edwards has been downgraded from questionable to out and will be sidelined for the eighth time over Minnesota's last 10 games. In addition to battling a knee injury, the superstar guard was also dealing with an illness, but the ailment is no longer listed on the injury report. With Edwards and Jaden McDaniels (knee) sidelined, Ayo Dosunmu, Donte DiVincenzo and Mike Conley are candidates for increased roles, but Julius Randle will lead the offense.

  • Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Out Sunday

    Matkovic (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic.

    Matkovic will miss a third straight game due to back spasms. In his absence, Derik Queen has been seeing more minutes. Matkovic's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Jazz.

  • 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.
