  • Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Won't play against Denver

    Gilgeous-Alexander (oblique) won't play in Friday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

    Oklahoma City has a lock on the top spot in the Western Conference, so Gilgeous-Alexander will take the night off against Denver. With Ajay Mitchell (ankle), Alex Caruso (rest), Isaiah Joe (knee) and Cason Wallace (toe) also unavailable, Jared McCain and Nikola Topic should see more minutes, with at least one of them in line to enter the starting lineup.

  • Jalen Williams SF | OKC

    Thunder's Jalen Williams: Sitting vs. Denver

    Williams is out for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to right hamstring injury management, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

    This appears to be a scheduled rest night for Williams, as the Thunder already have the No. 1 seed locked up. He'll have a chance to return for the regular-season finale Sunday against the Suns.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Ruled out with back spasms

    Holmgren won't play Friday against the Nuggets due to back spasms, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

    It's unclear as to when Holmgren started to experience the back issue, but it'll be enough to keep him from Friday's action. Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams should be in line for more minutes with Holmgren and Alex Caruso (rest) sidelined.

  • Jordan Walsh SF | BOS

    Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Drawing start Thursday

    Walsh is starting Thursday's game against the Knicks.

    Walsh will take the place of Jaylen Brown, who is out Thursday due to left Achilles tendinitis. Walsh started a pair of games down the stretch but failed to score in double figures in either opportunity.

  • Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Won't play Friday

    Markkanen (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

    Markkanen is still recovering from a right hip impingement and hasn't played since Feb. 23. His last chance to suit up this season will come in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lakers, though he can be considered doubtful for that contest until the Jazz offer an update on his status.

  • Isaiah Collier PG | UTA

    Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Remaining out Friday

    Collier (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's game against Memphis.

    Collier has missed Utah's last 11 contests. With only one game left this season for the Jazz after Friday's clash with the Grizzlies, it appears there's a good chance he won't be back on the floor until the 2026-27 campaign. Keyonte George (hamstring) is also still out, so Ace Bailey (knee), who is off the injury report, might find himself back at the point guard spot.

  • Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Ruled out for Friday

    Filipowski (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis.

    Filipowski will miss Utah's penultimate regular-season game due to lower-back injury management. With the big man sidelined, Oscar Tshiebwe and Blake Hinson are candidates to see increased playing time.

  • Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Receiving night off

    Sensabaugh has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes.

    Sensabaugh will get the night off after appearing in seven straight matchups for the Jazz. John Konchar figures to be the favorite to start in Sensabaugh's place Friday evening.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Retreating to bench

    Huff won't start Thursday's game against the Nets.

    The 28-year-old center will retreat to the second unit in favor of Micah Potter on Thursday. Huff has averaged 7.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks in 19.0 minutes per tilt over his last five outings off the bench.

  • Keyonte George SG | UTA

    Jazz's Keyonte George: Won't play Friday

    George (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's game against Memphis.

    George hasn't been on the floor since the 134-117 loss to the Knicks on March 11. With only one game left for Utah after Friday's meeting with the Grizzlies, it would be surprising to see George back in the lineup again this season. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) also still sidelined, Ace Bailey could take on increased on-ball duties, while Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng will likely continue seeing significant playing time.
