Williams (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Williams is set to return from a two-game stint on the sidelines Saturday, and he could see major minutes with Michael Porter (ankle) not expected to play. Williams could be someone to consider as a streamer Saturday for those seeking some points, triples and steals.

Powell has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to left knee injury management, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Powell is getting hit with a rest day, and his minutes will be divvied up amongst Terance Mann, Nolan Traore and Ochai Agbaji. Powell should be back for Monday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Traore (rest) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Traore is back in action after getting a maintenance day Thursday against the Hawks. The rookie will return to a starting role and should see a hefty workload with the Nets submitting a lengthy injury report.

The Nets list Agbaji as probable for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to left ankle sporeness, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Agbaji has been left out of the Brooklyn rotation for the past two games in coach's decisions, but assuming his ankle injury doesn't keep him from playing Saturday, he could have a chance at reclaiming some minutes. In addition to Egor Demin (foot) and Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) being out for the season, the Nets will be without Nic Claxton (rest), Michael Porter (ankle) and Drake Powell (knee) on Saturday.

Claxton will be rested Saturday against the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

This is simply a maintenance day for Brooklyn's starting center. Look for him to be back in action Monday against the 76ers. Danny Wolf is likely going to shoulder a sizable workload Saturday.

Porter (ankle) is doubtful to play Saturday in Philadelphia, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Porter is on track to sit out his second straight game Saturday, which could result in another start for Danny Wolf and more opportunity for Josh Minott. Check back for official word on Porter's status closer to Saturday's tipoff.

Williams is listed questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz due to left knee injury management.

Friday's contest is a standalone game rather than being part of a back-to-back set, but the Trail Blazers could look to build in a rest day for Williams nonetheless after he played 20-plus minutes in each of the team's last four games. If Williams ends up sitting Friday, Portland would likely be able to reopen a spot in the rotation for Sidy Cissoko.

Edwards (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.

Edwards was a late addition to the injury report, but this is something that's happened many times with the guard this season. Presumably, the Timberwolves are contemplating a maintenance day. Bones Hyland could see an increased role for Minnesota if Edwards is held out, but Julius Randle would be Minnesota's go-to offensive option.

Yabusele (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Yabusele skipped Thursday's loss to the Lakers, but there's a chance he could get back out there for Friday's game. Jalen Smith (calf) isn't expected to play, so if Yabusele is cleared, he'll likely be starting at center.

Williams (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Williams remains day-to-day for the Bulls ahead of the second leg of this back-to-back set. Leonard Miller is likely to shoulder a heavy workload if Williams is unable to play.
