  • Luka Doncic PG | LAL

    Lakers' Luka Doncic: Available for Friday

    Doncic (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Nets.

    Doncic will power through his questionable tag for this contest. He's been playing a ton of minutes lately, making him a candidate for a maintenance day in the upcoming back-to-back set that begins Monday against Washington.

  • Ayo Dosunmu PG | MIN

    Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Listed as questionable

    Dosunmu (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

    Dosunmu remains day-to-day after missing Wednesday's game against the Rockets. Anthony Edwards (knee) remains out, so the Timberwolves may need to rely on Bones Hyland, Terrence Shannon and Jaylen Clark.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Won't play Saturday

    McDaniels (knee) is out for Saturday's game against Detroit.

    It's set to be a rare absence for McDaniels, who's sitting out for just the third time all season. With Ayo Dosunmu (calf) iffy for Saturday, Mike Conley, Bones Hyland and Kyle Anderson could all see meaningful playing time versus the Pistons.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Won't play Saturday

    Edwards (knee) will not play Saturday against the Pistons.

    Edwards continues to be limited to individual work, but he's trending in the right direction. Based on previous reporting, a return Monday against the Mavericks could be on the table.

  • Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Iffy for Friday

    Melton (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards.

    The Warriors are calling this injury management, so a maintenance day is on the table for Melton. In his most recent game against the Nets on Wednesday, Melton had 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and four steals in 28 minutes.

  • Tre Johnson SG | WAS

    Wizards' Tre Johnson: Upgraded to available

    Johnson (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors,

    Johnson is returning from a three-game absence with a right foot sprain, which is likely to send Leaky Black to the bench. Over his last eight outings, Johnson has averaged 12.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.0 minutes per game while shooting 37.1 percent from the floor.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Will play Friday

    Coulibaly (heel) will play Friday against the Warriors.

    The second-year forward will continue to push through his heel issue for now, but he may receive some maintenance days down the stretch. Over his last three games, he's averaging 15.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists.

  • Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Available Friday

    Vukcevic (back) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors.

    Vukcevic is back from a one-game absence due to lower-back tightness to handle the backup center role behind Alex Sarr. Over his last seven outings, Vukcevic has averaged 13.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 18.3 minutes per game while shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Cleared to play

    Sarr (toe) will play Friday against the Warriors.

    Sarr is set to return after a pair of games on the sidelines. Given how the Wizards have handled recent games, Sarr may see a modest workload in his first game back.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Ruled out Friday

    Holmgren is listed out for Friday's game against the Bulls due to a right hip contusion.

    Oklahoma City didn't include Holmgren on its initial injury report, but the hip issue may have been something that cropped up during the Thunder's morning shootaround. In any case, Holmgren's absence could reopen a spot in the rotation for Aaron Wiggins, while centers Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams could have slightly higher minutes floors.
