  • 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.

  • Maxi Kleber C | LAL

    Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Questionable for Monday

    Kleber (back) is questionable for Monday's game in Detroit.

    Kleber was recently able to get in a practice with the Lakers' G League affiliate, and this is the first time he's received the questionable tag since going down with the back issue, so he appears to be on the cusp of a return. That said, he's not a consistent part of the rotation in Los Angeles, so even if he's cleared, he wouldn't be guaranteed minutes.

  • Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Doubtful for Monday

    Williams (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Golden State.

    Williams is in danger of missing his third straight contest. If he isn't available, Ryan Nembhard will likely absorb most of the minutes from off the bench.

  • Taj Gibson PF | MEM

    Grizzlies' Taj Gibson: Iffy to play Monday

    Gibson (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.

    Gibson has been a regular on the injury report of late due to right foot soreness. If he's unable to play Monday, then Taylor Hendricks would likely see a boost in minutes off the bench against Atlanta.

  • Luka Doncic PG | LAL

    Lakers' Luka Doncic: Suspension rescinded

    The NBA rescinded Doncic's 16th technical foul Sunday, allowing him to play in Monday's game against the Pistons, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Doncic exchanged words with Goga Bitadze during Saturday's win over the Magic, resulting in both players receiving a technical foul. However, the Lakers filed an appeal on Doncic's behalf to rescind the technical foul, and the appeal has since been approved. The superstar point guard's next tech will trigger a one-game suspension, though he's good to go Monday in Detroit. Doncic has posted at least 30 points in nine straight games, averaging 40.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 3.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 37.7 minutes per game over that stretch.
