  • Danny Wolf PF | BKN

    Nets' Danny Wolf: Exits early Sunday

    Wolf sustained a left ankle injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Kings and will not return, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. He'll finish with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and four rebounds across 12 minutes.

    Wolf turned his left ankle and limped off the court before being helped to the locker room. The rookie first-rounder faces a short turnaround if he hopes to play Monday in Portland, so he can be considered highly questionable for that one until Brooklyn provides an update on his status. If he's forced to miss time, Josh Minott, Chaney Johnson and E.J. Liddell would be candidates for increased playing time.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Available to play

    Reid (ankle) is available for Sunday's game in Boston.

    Reid is back after a two-game absence, which could result in Joan Beringer falling out of the rotation. Reid is averaging 13.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.2 triples, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game this season.

  • Max Shulga PG | BOS

    Celtics' Max Shulga: Recalled to NBA, available Sunday

    Boston recalled Shulga from the G League's Maine Celtics, and he is available for Boston's game against Minnesota on Sunday.

    Shulga logged 29 minutes in Maine's 121-91 win over the Cleveland Charge on Sunday, during which he tallied 12 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists. He isn't guaranteed to see the floor for the parent club against the Timberwolves.

  • Celtics' Amari Williams: Recalled from G League

    Williams was recalled from the G League on Sunday.

    Williams will be available for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, but that doesn't mean he'll touch the court. Williams has been a negligible part of the Celtics' rotation this season.

  • Jaylen Brown SF | BOS

    Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Cleared to play Sunday

    Brown (quadriceps) will play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jack Simone of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

    As expected, Brown will shake off his probable tag due to a left quadriceps contusion. The star forward has reached the 30-point threshold in four of the last five games, averaging 30.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 46.5 percent from the field in 36.8 minutes per tilt during that stretch.

  • Leaky Black SF | WAS

    Wizards' Leaky Black: Available to play

    Black (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Sunday's game versus the Knicks.

    Black was listed as out on the initial injury report, but he's now been cleared to suit up. The two-way player has missed the past four games due to an ankle sprain, so he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction during his return.

  • Kobe Bufkin SG | LAL

    Lakers' Kobe Bufkin: Back with parent club

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

    Bufkin and Adou Thiero 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. Bufkin 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.

  • 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.
