Hall (ankle) is out for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

Considering Hall is dealing with a fractured ankle, it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out Charlotte's remaining four games of the regular season. He's been a negligible part of the rotation, so Hall's playing status won't impact fantasy leagues.

Dort (undisclosed) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Utah.

Dort suffered an undisclosed injury during Thursday's 139-96 win over the Lakers. However, it must not have been that big of an issue, considering he's not listed on the official injury report. With Dort in the rotation, Ajay Mitchell, who would have been in line to start, will continue to see work from off the bench.

Riley recorded 31 points (12-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and five steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 152-136 loss to Miami.

The 31 points and five steals were both career highs for the 21st overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, as Riley led the Wizards in scoring on a wild afternoon. He's scored in double digits in 10 of his last 11 games (nine starts), averaging 18.3 points, 3.3 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.1 steals in 32.3 minutes over that stretch.

Smith is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Lakers due to low back spasms.

Smith is not a large enough part of the rotation for his playing status to impact fantasy leagues. Check back closer to tipoff for official confirmation on his status.

Washington (illness) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Washington is set to return after a three-game absence due to an illness, and he figures to have a prominent role right away for Dallas. The big man is averaging 14.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 16 appearances since the All-Star break.

Smart (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Dallas.

Smart has missed the Lakers' last six games. Although he appears to be trending in a positive direction regarding a return to the court, he won't be out there against the Mavericks. With Austin Reaves (oblique) and Luka Doncic (hamstring) out for the foreseeable future, Smart's services will likely be needed out of the backcourt upon his return. However, while he remains out, Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard should both see even more work moving ahead.

Martin (heel) is out for Sunday's game versus the Lakers.

This will be his 10th straight game on the sidelines. It seems unlikely that Martin will be cleared for Tuesday's meeting with the Clippers.

Harkless (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Oklahoma City.

Harkless will now miss a fourth consecutive game. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) also on the shelf for Sunday's contest, Cody Williams, Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng should handle most of the work in the backcourt.

Barlow is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Barlow will play off the bench for the first time since Jan. 29, as the Sixers have elected to go with Kelly Oubre and Paul George at the forward spots. Barlow is averaging 5.9 points and 4.1 rebounds per game when deployed off the bench this season, but he's been a regular starter throughout the campaign -- he's been part of the second unit in just seven of his 66 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.

George (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Oklahoma City.

Although George hasn't officially been shut down, it's hard to imagine he will be back on the floor this season. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Elijah Harkless (hamstring) also ruled out for Sunday's contest, Cody Williams, Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng should handle most of the work in the backcourt against Oklahoma City.
