NBA Player News

Davis went to the locker room during the first half of Thursday's game against the Kings with an apparent left shoulder injury, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's matchup with Memphis, and it appears the issue is still bothering him. He'll be considered questionable to return until the team reports otherwise.

Clingan is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.

Clingan returns to the bench with Deandre Ayton back in the starting unit. The rookie is averaging 4.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game when coming off the bench this season (12 appearances).

Davis (foot) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Kings, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Davis continues to be a frequent presence on the injury report, but he hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6. He should be a full-go for Thursday's clash.

Claxton was ejected with 8:46 remaining in the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. He'll finish the game with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 11 minutes.

Claxton was tossed from the game for throwing a ball in the stands after he was intentionally fouled on a drive to the basket. Day'Ron Sharpe and Noah Clowney will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Ayton (illness) will play Thursday against the Nuggets.

Ayton has been battling an illness for over a week, but it won't keep him out of Thursday's matchup. He'll presumably return to the starting lineup after gaining clearance to play, which would bump Donovan Clingan back to a bench role.

Clarke will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Warriors.

With Zach Edey returning to the starting five, Clarke will slide to the bench. The 28-year-old came off the bench in his first nine outings this season, during which he averaged 5.1 points and 2.7 rebounds across 14.7 minutes per contest.

Edey is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Edey will return to the Grizzlies' starting lineup for the first time since Nov. 6, and he does it after delivering 13 points and 10 rebounds in a loss to the Lakers on Sunday, Dec. 15. The rookie big man is averaging 10.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game in a starting role across nine appearances this season.

Adams (ankle) is listed as available for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Adams sprained his left ankle during Saturday's loss to the Thunder, though he'll return to action Thursday without missing a contest. The big man's presence shouldn't affect any fantasy decisions, as he has averaged 3.2 points and 4.6 rebounds across only 10.0 minutes per game in his last five appearances.

Collins (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Collins will add some much-needed depth behind Victor Wembanyama at center, but he's not expected to have a big role in most fantasy formats. Collins is averaging just 4.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game when coming off the bench this season (20 appearances).

Sengun (knee) will play Thursday against the Pelicans.

Sengun was considered questionable due to left knee soreness, but the issue won't force him to miss out on Thursday's action. He's turned in three straight double-doubles heading into his team's clash with New Orleans.
