  • Shaedon Sharpe SG | POR

    Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Questionable versus Clippers

    Sharpe (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.

    Sharpe had a small chance to return for Wednesday's game against San Antonio. However, he was ultimately ruled out. If Sharpe can get back on the floor Friday after missing the last two months, his workload will presumably be lighter than usual, meaning Scoot Henderson might remain in the starting lineup.

  • Suns' Mark Williams: Available for Friday

    Williams (rest) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Lakers.

    Williams got the night off Wednesday against Dallas, which provided Khaman Maluach an opportunity to start at center. However, Williams should step right back into the starting job Friday night after being omitted from the Suns' injury report.

  • Jalen Green SG | PHO

    Suns' Jalen Green: Iffy for Friday

    Green (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers.

    Green was unable to return to Wednesday's game after picking up a knee injury, so the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable ahead of Friday's tilt is a promising sign. The team will presumably monitor him closely in shootaround and warmups to determine whether he can step onto the court in LA.

  • Warriors' Charles Bassey: Good to go Thursday

    Bassey (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

    Bassey will shake off his probable tag due to a sprained left ankle and suit up for the shorthanded Warriors. The big man logged 27 minutes in Tuesday's win over Sacramento and will likely retain significant playing time due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) being sidelined.

  • L.J. Cryer PG | GS

    Warriors' LJ Cryer: Good to go Thursday

    Cryer (illness) will play Thursday against the Lakers.

    Cryer will make his return to the hardwood Thursday after missing Golden State's previous two matchups due to an illness. He figures to get some run off the bench with Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined.

  • Jerami Grant PF | POR

    Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Remains out for Friday

    Grant (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers.

    Grant will miss a sixth consecutive contest due to a right calf strain and is without a clear timetable for a return to action. The veteran forward's next chance to play will come in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Kings.

  • Devin Booker SG | PHO

    Suns' Devin Booker: Listed out for Friday

    Booker is out for Friday's game against the Lakers due to right ankle injury management.

    Booker will get a maintenance day after playing in 20 straight matchups for the Suns. Collin Gillespie should be in line for a sizable uptick in minutes Friday due to Booker being sidelined.

  • Cedric Coward SG | MEM

    Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Ruled out for Friday

    Coward (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz.

    Coward will be held out of Friday's contest due to lower-back soreness. The rookie first-rounder's last chance to suit up this season will come Sunday in Houston. With Coward joining a plethora of Memphis players on the inactive list, Adama Bal and Jahmai Mashack should see increased burn.

  • Cam Spencer PG | MEM

    Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Ruled out versus Utah

    Spencer (back) is listed as out ahead of Friday's game in Utah.

    Spencer has missed three of the Grizzlies' last four games. At this point, it would be surprising to see him suit up for the season finale versus the Rockets on Sunday. With Walter Clayton (hip) and Javon Small (thigh) both questionable, Jahmai Mashack and Adama Bal may be the featured options out of the backcourt.

  • Darius Garland PG | LAC

    Clippers' Darius Garland: Cleared for Friday

    Garland (toe) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

    Garland was held out of Wednesday's matchup against Oklahoma City due to left toe injury management, but he's been given the green light to return Friday. He's averaging 16.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals through three April appearances.
