  • Adou Thiero SF | LAL

    Lakers' Adou Thiero: Back with parent club

    The Lakers recalled Thiero from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

    Thiero and Kobe Bufkin were both inactive for Saturday's 105-104 win over the Magic, but the two will rejoin the Lakers ahead of their next game Monday in Detroit. Thiero hasn't typically been included in the rotation when the Lakers are at full strength, but he could be needed to handle some minutes if Rui Hachimura (calf) and Marcus Smart (ankle) -- both of whom are listed as questionable -- are unable to play Monday.

  • Josh Hart SF | NY

    Knicks' Josh Hart: Good to go Sunday

    Hart (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the Wizards, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

    Hart will shed his questionable tag and return from a one-game absence due to a right knee issue. With the veteran swingman back in action, Mohamed Diawara will likely see fewer minutes. Hart has averaged 13.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals across 28.3 minutes per game in eight March appearances.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Questionable to face Miami

    Vassell (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Miami.

    Vassell was a late scratch ahead of Saturday's win over the Pacers and could miss a second straight game due to right hamstring tightness. If the 25-year-old wing remains sidelined, Keldon Johnson, Carter Bryant and Lindy Waters would be candidates to see increased minutes.

  • Killian Hayes PG | SAC

    Kings' Killian Hayes: Starting Sunday

    Hayes will start Sunday versus the Nets.

    Joining Hayes in the first unit for Sunday's game will be Nique Clifford, DeMar DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud. Through two starts this season, Hayes has averaged 13.5 points, 6.0 assists, 2.5 triples and 1.0 blocks per game.

  • Spurs' Stephon Castle: Could return Monday

    Castle (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.

    Castle has a chance to return Monday from a two-game absence due to right hip soreness. Dylan Harper drew the start in Saturday's win over the Pacers, and the rookie first-rounder would likely start Monday if Castle is not cleared to play.

  • Kings' Daeqwon Plowden: Won't play Sunday

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

    Nique Clifford should soak up most of Plowden's minutes Sunday, and Doug McDermott will have the chance for some extended run. Plowden's next chance to play will come Tuesday in Charlotte.

  • Terance Mann SG | BKN

    Nets' Terance Mann: Starting in return

    Mann will start Sunday's game against the Kings, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Mann will return from a one-game absence due to an illness and enter the starting five. As a starter this season (47 games), the 29-year-old has averaged 7.6 points, 3.5 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 25.9 minutes per tilt.

  • Caleb Martin SF | DAL

    Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Iffy for Monday

    Martin (heel) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Golden State.

    Martin has missed the last three games with an injury that the Mavericks initially classified as right plantar fascia soreness before reclassifying it as a right heel contusion. Even if the veteran forward sheds the questionable designation ahead of Monday's contest, he may be in line for only a light role in the Dallas rotation.

  • Ty Jerome SG | MEM

    Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Not listed on injury report

    Jerome (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Hawks.

    Jerome sat out Saturday's loss to Charlotte -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to right calf injury management. However, he's set to return to action Monday. Over six March appearances, the 28-year-old guard has averaged 20.2 points, 6.0 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per contest. His return to the lineup will likely push Walter Clayton back to the second unit.

  • Marcus Smart PG | LAL

    Lakers' Marcus Smart: Iffy for Monday

    Smart is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons due to right ankle soreness.

    Smart is in danger of missing just his second game since Feb. 12. If the veteran guard is ultimately ruled out, Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia would be candidates to see increased playing time. Smart has appeared in five straight games, averaging 10.4 points, 2.4 assists and 2.0 steals across 32.8 minutes per contest during that span.
