Curry (back) is probable for Monday's game in Utah.

Curry is on track to be available for Monday's game, but considering he hasn't played since Dec. 4, he'll likely have some heavy restrictions in his first game back. Check back for official word on his status closer to Monday's tip.

Kuzma (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.

Kuzma will miss Sunday's contest due to a back injury he presumably suffered during Saturday's win over the Jazz. Ousmane Dieng, Bobby Portis and Cam Thomas are candidates for increased minutes with Kuzma sidelined.

Jackson-Davis dislocated the middle finger on his right hand while going through pregame warmups and won't play Sunday against the Mavericks, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jackson-Davis has been a negligible part of the rotation in Toronto, so his absence Sunday won't have any bearing on how head coach Darko Rajakovic distributes the minutes in the frontcourt. The center's next chance to play will come Tuesday in Houston.

Collier (personal) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Collier missed Saturday's loss to Milwaukee due to personal reasons, though he's set to return to action Monday. Over his last five games (two starts), the second-year point guard has averaged 17.4 points, 7.2 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 27.0 minutes per contest.

Sheppard will come off the bench for Sunday's game in San Antonio, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Jabari Smith (ankle) is back and starting, so Sheppard will shift back to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, Reed owns averages of 13.0 points, 2.9 assists, 2.6 triples and 1.3 steals per contest.

Reese won't start Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

With Alex Sarr (hamstring) back in action, Reese will retreat to the second unit. However, the two-way player is likely to continue seeing meaningful minutes, as Sarr will operate under a heavy minutes restriction.

Isaac (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Isaac will miss a third straight game due to a left knee injury. His absence doesn't figure to have a meaningful impact on the rotation.

Black (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee.

With Black out, Tristan da Silva will likely return to the starting lineup, and there will be more minutes available for Jett Howard. For now, Black should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Cavs, which will be the first of a back-to-back set.

Richardson (back) is unavailable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Richardson has been ruled out for a second straight game due to back spasms. With Anthony Black (back) also sidelined, Jett Howard and Jevon Carter could see expanded roles.

Mitchell (ankle/abdomen) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Mitchell is set to return to action following a 20-game absence due to an abdominal strain and a sprained left ankle. While he may operate under a minutes restriction during his return, having Mitchell back in the lineup will leave fewer minutes available for Isaiah Joe, Jared McCain and Cason Wallace.
