Rob Dillingham PG | CHI
Bulls' Rob Dillingham: Upgraded to available
Dillingham (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Dillingham is good to go for the first leg of this back-to-back set and should fill his typical role off the bench. The second-year guard has averaged 13.1 points, 3.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 23.9 minutes per game across his last seven outings.

De'Anthony Melton SG | GS
Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Ruled out Friday
Melton (knee) won't play in Friday's game against Washington.
Melton nearly had a double-double in Wednesday's 109-106 win over Brooklyn. However, he is now getting the night off to rest before presumably returning Sunday versus Denver. While Melton is sidelined, Gary Payton, Will Richard and Pat Spencer should see more work, with one of them likely moving into the starting lineup.

Spurs' Luke Kornet: Absent from injury report
Kornet (knee) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Milwaukee, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.
After sitting out Wednesday's win over Memphis due to right knee injury management, Kornet is ready to return to the court for the Spurs to handle his usual duties as the No. 2 center behind Victor Wembanyama. Over his last five games, Kornet has averaged 5.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.0 minutes per game while shooting 55.6 percent from the floor.

De'Aaron Fox PG | SA
Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Not listed on injury report
Fox (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game in Milwaukee, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.
Fox is set to return after a one-game stint on the sidelines, which will likely shift Dylan Harper back to the second unit. Julian Champagnie's usage rate should also dip with Fox back in the mix.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Questionable for Saturday
Portis (wrist) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Myles Turner C | MIL
Bucks' Myles Turner: Iffy to face San Antonio
Turner (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Turner is in danger of missing a second straight game due to right calf soreness.

Kevin Porter PG | MIL
Bucks' Kevin Porter: Ruled out for Saturday
Porter (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Porter will be sidelined for a fifth consecutive contest with a right knee issue, and he doesn't appear to have a clear timetable for a return to the floor. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) also out, Ryan Rollins should continue to operate as the top point guard for the Bucks on Saturday and handle the lion's share of the playmaking responsibilities.

Giannis Antetokounmpo PF | MIL
Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Ruled out for Saturday
Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Antetokounmpo will miss a sixth consecutive contest due to a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise. According to Eric Nehm of The Athletic, the Bucks have approached the superstar about shutting him down for the remainder of the campaign, though he wants to keep playing. Antetokounmpo should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Bucks offer an update on his status.
