  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Joins starting lineup

    Sims is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

    Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is sitting out Saturday, clearing the way at power forward for Sims to draw his 10th start of the season. Sims has averaged 5.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.3 minutes per tilt across nine games as a starter this year, shooting a ridiculous 85.7 percent from the floor during that stretch.

  • Ryan Rollins SG | MIL

    Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Starting vs. Atlanta

    Rollins is in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Hawks on Saturday.

    Rollins came off the bench during the Bucks' 112-105 loss to the Heat on Thursday, but he put together a productive performance with 16 points, 10 assists, five rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers over 33 minutes. He'll move back into the starting lineup alongside Kevin Porter in the frontcourt for Saturday's game due to the absence of Ousmane Dieng (illness).

  • Warriors' Omer Yurtseven: Expected to sign 10-day contract

    The Warriors are expected to sign Yurtseven to a 10-day contract, per NBA reporter Marc Stein.

    Golden State is turning to Yurtseven to provide immediate frontcourt reinforcement as the team navigates a brutal injury crisis. The Warriors' depth was decimated during Friday's loss to Minnesota, when Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (ankle) both exited early, joining Draymond Green (back) on the sidelines. Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Green and Horford have all been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, while Post is listed as questionable.

  • Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Available Saturday

    Kalkbrenner (illness) is listed as available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

    The rookie center will return after a one-game absence and should reclaim his reserve role behind Moussa Diabate, likely pushing Xavier Tillman out of the rotation. Over his last eight appearances, Kalkbrenner has provided steady rim protection and efficiency, averaging 5.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 16.1 minutes per contest during that span.

  • Coby White PG | CHA

    Hornets' Coby White: Available Saturday

    White (heel) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

    A bruised heel won't stop White from playing Saturday, but he remains difficult to trust in fantasy lineups with his workload limitations. Over his first seven games for the Hornets, the star guard has averaged 11.9 points, 3.6 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per contest.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Optimism to play Saturday

    Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said that he's optimistic that Wembanyama (ankle) will play against the Hornets on Saturday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

    Wembanyama was unable to play against the Nuggets on Thursday due to a right ankle injury. The third-year phenom can be considered a game-time decision for Saturday's contest, and if he can't play, he'll likely be available for Monday's game against the Clippers. If Wembanyama is ruled out, then Luke Kornet would likely remain in the Spurs' starting lineup.

  • Caris LeVert SG | DET

    Pistons' Caris LeVert: Limited output in return

    LeVert (wrist) tallied four points (2-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 23 minutes Friday in the Pistons' 126-110 win over the Grizzlies.

    Back in action following a three-game absence due to a left wrist sprain, LeVert saw solid playing time off the bench but was highly ineffective. In addition to failing to connect from deep, LeVert tied for a team high with three turnovers. LeVert should be able to retain a spot on the second unit moving forward, but he'll likely see his minutes drop slightly if either or both of Tobias Harris (hip) or Ausar Thompson (ankle) are able to play in the Pistons' next game Sunday in Toronto.

  • Dalen Terry SF | PHI

    76ers' Dalen Terry: Goes to locker room after fall

    Terry went to the locker room during the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Nets, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

    Terry had a scary fall on a layup attempt after Ben Saraf inadvertently tripped him while in mid-air. Terry was able to shoot both of his free-throw attempts (making one) before being taken to the locker room, where he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. MarJon Beauchamp would be slated for a larger role in the second half if Terry is unable to return.

  • Warriors' Quinten Post: Questionable for Sunday

    Post is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Knicks due to a sprained left ankle.

    Post sustained the injury during Friday's loss to Minnesota, but it appears that he didn't come away with a high-grade sprain. The Warriors are already very thin down low, with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (calf) both ruled out for Sunday, so they'd likely be left with Gui Santos and two-way player Malevy Leons to soak up the bulk of the center minutes if Post cannot play.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Warriors' Al Horford: Not playing Sunday

    Horford (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

    Horford strained his right calf during the first quarter of Friday's loss to the Timberwolves. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters after the game that he expects Horford will miss time, per Anthony Slater of ESPN.com. It comes as no surprise seeing Horford scratched for Sunday's lineup, and the veteran big man will likely be sidelined for Monday's game against the Wizards. The Warriors will also be without Draymond Green (back) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) on Sunday, so Golden State's frontcourt depth would be extremely depleted if Quinten Post (ankle) is also unable to play.
