  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Questionable versus Rockets

    Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game in Houston.

    Edwards has appeared in only two of the Timberwolves' last 12 contests. If he doesn't suit up versus Houston, Bones Hyland (hip) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf), who are both questionable, could both continue to see more work. However, if neither of those players can get on the floor, Terrence Shannon would be in line to receive additional action.

  • Collin Sexton SG | CHI

    Bulls' Collin Sexton: Available Thursday

    Sexton (finger) is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

    Sexton is expectedly shedding a probable designation Thursday with a right finger injury. The veteran guard is playing at a high level, averaging 19.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 27.6 minutes per contest over his last nine games.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Out for Friday

    Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

    Gobert will sit for a second straight game due to rest purposes. Naz Reid should again see an increased role in Gobert's absence. His next chance to take the court will arrive in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Pelicans.

  • Julius Randle PF | MIN

    Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Iffy for Friday

    Randle (hand) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.

    Randle took a seat for the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back Wednesday due to a right hand issue, but he'll have an opportunity to return for Friday's clash. Minnesota should have another update on the forward's availability after observing him go through shootaround and warmups.

  • Derrick White SG | BOS

    Celtics' Derrick White: Cleared to play Thursday

    White (knee) is available for Thursday's game against New York, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

    White was in danger of missing this contest because of a right-knee contusion. However, he is good to go. With Jaylen Brown (Achilles) ruled out, White should see additional scoring opportunities.

  • Dru Smith SG | MIA

    Heat's Dru Smith: Downgraded to out

    Smith (foot) is out for Thursday's game against the Raptors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Smith was added to the injury report as questionable due to a right foot issue, and while the team was optimistic about him being available Thursday, he's since been downgraded to out. He's been utilized sparingly off the bench lately, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the Miami rotation Thursday evening.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Upgraded to available

    Queta (toe) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

    Queta is good to go despite nursing a toe sprain Thursday. Over his last five appearances, the standout big man has averaged 16.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.4 blocks in 30.0 minutes per contest while shooting a robust 75.0 percent from the field during this stretch.

  • Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Unlikely to play Friday

    Williams (illness) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Spurs.

    Williams is still under the weather and is expected to miss his third straight game Friday. If the 26-year-old guard is ruled out, there would be more minutes available for Ryan Nembhard and John Poulakidas.

  • Gary Trent Jr. SF | MIL

    Bucks' Gary Trent: Sidelined against Brooklyn

    Trent (oblique) is listed as out for Friday's game against Brooklyn.

    Trent missed three consecutive contests before suiting up for Wednesday's 137-111 loss to Detroit, finishing with seven points and one assist. However, the veteran won't play Friday. With Trent out of commission, AJ Green and Cormac Ryan will presumably continue to see more action.

  • Klay Thompson SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Available for Friday

    Thompson (rest) will play Friday against the Spurs.

    Thompson received a rest day Wednesday against the Suns, but he'll be back on the court Friday after being omitted from the team's injury report. The veteran forward is averaging 10.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists over his last five appearances, all off the bench.
