Cade Cunningham SG | DET
Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Probable for Sunday
Cunningham (quad) is probable for Sunday's game in Miami.
Cunningham skipped Saturday's loss to the Nets with a minor quad issue, but it looks like he'll be back in action Sunday, which should shift Daniss Jenkins back to the second unit. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Cunningham's status closer to tipoff.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Could return Sunday
Richardson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Richardson was unable to play in Saturday's win against Minnesota due to lower-back spasms. The rookie first-rounder has a chance to return for Sunday's contest, and while he's had inconsistent playing time since the All-Star break, Richardson would be in line for a larger role off the bench if Anthony Black (back) was ruled out.

Magic's Anthony Black: Questionable to play Sunday
Black (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
Black was forced to leave early in the first quarter of Saturday's 119-92 win over the Timberwolves due to a lower-back strain, and the injury puts him in jeopardy of missing the second leg of the Magic's back-to-back set Sunday. Tristan da Silva would be the top candidate to enter Orlando's starting lineup if Black is unable to play.

Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Ruled out for Sunday
Wiggins (toe) won't play Sunday versus the Pistons.
This will be Wiggins' second straight game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's tilt with the Wizards. Myron Gardner and Kel'el Ware will continue to pick up the slack in Wiggins' absence.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Not starting Sunday
Tyson is not in the Cavaliers' starting lineup against the Celtics on Sunday.
Tyson was cleared to play Sunday after popping up on the injury report as questionable due to a neck strain. However, the second-year pro will come off the bench against Boston due to the return of Donovan Mitchell (groin) from a four-game absence.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Cleared to play Sunday
Tyson (neck) is available for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.
Tyson popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a neck strain, but the second-year pro has been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He has started in each of the Cavaliers' last four games, and over that span he has averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.0 steals over 34.0 minutes per contest.

Dean Wade PF | CLE
Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Good to go Sunday
Wade (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against Boston, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.
Wade missed the Cavaliers' last three games due to a right ankle sprain. He earned the probable tag for Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday, and the seventh-year pro has progressed enough in his recovery to return. Wade will likely start in his return due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (knee), with the former joining Evan Mobley in the frontcourt.

Donovan Mitchell SG | CLE
Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Cleared to play vs. Boston
Mitchell (groin) is available for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.
Mitchell has officially been given the green light to return Sunday from a four-game absence due to a right groin strain, and his availability will give the Cavaliers a significant boost in a game featuring the top teams in the Eastern Conference. With Mitchell back in action, Sam Merrill will likely revert to a rotational role off the bench against Boston.

At the NBA level, Jackson-Davis is averaging 3.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.5 blocks in 10.4 per game this season between stops with Golden State and Toronto.
