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.

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.

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.

Jock Landale C | ATL
Hawks' Jock Landale: Won't suit up Friday
Landale (shoulder) won't play in Friday's game against Boston, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Landale was listed as questionable heading into this one, though he won't be able to suit up. Now that he has been ruled out, Mouhamed Gueye is the favorite to see minutes behind Onyeka Okongwu. Landale's next chance to play will be Saturday versus the visiting Sacramento Kings.

Gary Harris SG | MIL
Bucks' Gary Harris: Questionable for Saturday
Harris (groin) is questionable for Saturday's game versus San Antonio.
Harris has missed the past three games with a groin issue, but there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there for Saturday's game. That said, Harris has a negligible role in Milwaukee's rotation, so his playing status won't impact fantasy leagues.

Nesmith (back) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Nesmith will shed his probable tag due to lower-back soreness Friday and should be able to handle his normal workload. The sharpshooter has averaged 17.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.9 three-pointers in 30.1 minutes per contest over his last eight games.
