Looney is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Head coach Steve Kerr has decided to tweak the Warriors' frontcourt for this matchup against the Timberwolves, meaning Looney will return to the bench while Trayce Jackson-Davis gets the start at center. Looney's numbers haven't experienced many changes regardless of his role, though, and he's not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside in most formats.

Jackson-Davis is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Head coach Steve Kerr has decided to tweak the Warriors' frontcourt for this matchup against the Timberwolves, so Jackson-Davis will get the nod over Kevon Looney at center. The second-year big man is averaging 8.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.7 steals per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

Wagner was helped off the floor during Saturday's game against the Heat after sustaining a non-contact knee injury, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Wagner wasn't able to put much, if any, weight on his left leg while being helped back to the locker room. Considering the non-contact nature of the injury, Wagner should be considered doubtful to return. Jonathan Isaac and Caleb Houstan could see more action while Wagner is sidelined while Wendell Carter could see more minutes at center.

Drummond is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

The 76ers will be without Joel Embiid (knee) for this contest, so Drummond will fill in for him, as he's often done this season. Drummond is averaging 8.7 points and 10.3 boards per game in a starting role (13 appearances) in 2024-25.

Sabonis (back) is available for Saturday's game versus the Lakers.

Sabonis has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday despite dealing with a back contusion. The star big man is averaging 23.6 points, 13.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 35.4 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Davis (elbow) will play in Saturday's game against the Kings, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

The writing was on the wall for Davis to play Saturday, as he was upgraded from questionable to probable hours before tipoff. Davis has logged a double-double in five straight games, averaging 30.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.4 blocks across 35.6 minutes during that stretch.

Davis (elbow) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Kings.

Davis has been upgraded from questionable to probable Saturday despite dealing with a left elbow contusion. Davis has played more than 30 minutes in each of his last 10 appearances, so he should be able to handle a full workload if he's further upgraded to available.

Sabonis is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Lakers due to a back contusion.

Sabonis hadn't been on the injury report all day but is now in danger of missing Saturday's contest due to a back injury. With Trey Lyles (calf) also questionable, Isaac Jones and Alex Len could receive increased playing time against the Lakers.

Theis won't play in Saturday's game versus the Knicks while returning to competitive conditioning.

After missing New Orleans' previous contest due to personal reasons, it appears that Theis is not in game shape and will miss Saturday's outing. The veteran big man's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Denver.

Poeltl (groin) is out for Sunday's game versus the Rockets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Despite returning to practice Saturday, Poeltl will miss his second straight contest Sunday due to a bilateral groin strain. Jonathan Mogbo should continue to receive an increased role in his absence. Poeltl's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with the Knicks.
