Naji Marshall SG | DAL
Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Tagged doubtful for Friday
Marshall (hip) is doubtful for Friday's game against San Antonio.
Marshall suffered a left hip injury during Tuesday's clash against the Clippers and was forced to sit out Wednesday's game as a result of the injury. It appears he'll need even more time to recover after being listed as doubtful for Friday, which would mean more playing time for Klay Thompson, Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith in the frontcourt. Expect another update on Marshall's status closer to tipoff.

Caleb Martin SF | DAL
Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Doubtful for Friday
Martin is doubtful for Friday's game versus San Antonio due to a strained right heel.
The veteran swingman is running out of time to return during the regular season due to the heel injury, which has kept him sidelined for 12 consecutive games. Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson would be candidates for a slight bump in playing time if Martin is ultimately ruled out.

Bobby Portis PF | MIL
Bucks' Bobby Portis: Remaining out Friday
Portis is listed as out for Friday's game against the Nets.
Portis has already missed the last nine games. With only one more chance to suit up after Friday's contest, it looks like the 31-year-old won't be back on the floor again this season. While Portis remains sidelined, Pete Nance and Jericho Sims could continue to see more work.

Daniel Gafford C | DAL
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Unlikely to play Friday
Gafford is doubtful for Friday's game versus San Antonio.
The Mavericks expect Gafford to miss a third straight game due to a right shoulder impingement. Marvin Bagley should start at center Friday, making him a worthwhile streaming candidate in all fantasy leagues after posting at least 20 points and eight rebounds in three of his past four appearances.

PJ Washington PF | DAL
Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Unlikely to suit up vs. Spurs
Washington (elbow) is doubtful for Friday's game against San Antonio.
Washington is in danger of missing his third game in a row after picking up a left elbow sprain. Khris Middleton, Klay Thompson and Tyler Smith would be in line for more minutes if Washington is downgraded to out before Friday's matchup.
-
Cooper Flagg SF | DAL
Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Probable for Friday
Flagg is probable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to a left wrist sprain.
Flagg was also added to the injury report as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against Phoenix before ultimately getting the green light to play, so this appears to be a precautionary listing. The Mavericks should have confirmation on his status as tipoff approaches.
-
Myles Turner C | MIL
Bucks' Myles Turner: Absent from injury report
Turner (ankle) is off the injury report for Friday's game against Brooklyn.
After sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Pistons, Turner is available for Milwaukee's last home game of the regular season. The star big man has averaged 9.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.0 steals in 22.1 minutes per contest over his last seven games.
-
Giannis Antetokounmpo PF | MIL
Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Unavailable for Friday
Antetokounmpo (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Nets.
Antetokounmpo will remain sidelined for yet another matchup while dealing with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise. He'll have one more opportunity to appear in the regular-season finale Sunday against Philadelphia, though it would seem that his 2025-26 campaign is over.

Victor Wembanyama C | SA
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Questionable for Friday
Wembanyama (ribs) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Wembanyama suffered a left rib contusion during Monday's game against the 76ers and then sat out Wednesday's matchup with Portland. However, it appears he'll have a chance to take the court Friday night after being upgraded to questionable. The Spurs will likely monitor the star center closely leading up to tipoff before providing an update on his availability.

Alex Sarr C | WAS
Wizards' Alex Sarr: Unlikely to return this season
Head coach Brian Keefe said Thursday that Sarr (toe) is unlikely to play again this season, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Sarr will miss a seventh consecutive contest Thursday due to a left big toe injury, and he should be considered doubtful for the Wizards' final two regular-season games until further notice. With the second-year big man on the shelf, Julian Reese and Anthony Gill will likely continue seeing increased burn.
