Holmes (toe) is questionable for Sunday against the Celtics.

Holmes has missed the past eight games for Washington, but he remains day-to-day. Washington's frontcourt depth is in shambles, as Marvin Bagley (knee) is out and Tristan Vukcevic (ankle) is now questionable.

Wembanyama won't play in Sunday's game versus the Pistons due to right ankle injury management.

Wembanyama will be held out of San Antonio's regular-season finale due to a left ankle injury that he has been battling all season. The rookie phenom is practically a guarantee to win Rookie of the Year after a historic campaign. Wembanyama will end 2023-24 averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, a league-best 3.6 blocks and 1.2 steals in 29.7 minutes across 71 appearances.

Jackson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Jackson remains day-to-day with his hamstring strain. Jalen Smith, who is currently the backup center in front of Jackson, is also questionable with a left ankle sprain.

Collins is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs with a left thumb contusion, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

This sounds like a minor issue for Collins, but the Spurs may exercise caution for the season finale. If Collins is able to play, there would be a lot of usage up for grabs with Victor Wembanyama (ankle) sidelined.

Richards (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Richards has missed four of the Hornets' last seven games due to a nagging right foot plantar fascia issue, and it's unclear whether he'll suit up for the season finale after being ruled out Friday. If he's out, the Hornets would be extremely shorthanded in the frontcourt, as Grant Williams (ankle) is also questionable while Mark Williams (back) is out.

Horford (rest) will not play Sunday against the Wizards.

The Celtics are resting Horford along with their five usual starters Sunday as they rest up for the postseason. Luke Kornet could be a busy man in the frontcourt as a result.

Capela is questionable to play Sunday against the Pacers due to rest, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

The Hawks know they'll be facing the Bulls in the first round of the Play-In Tournament, and it seems they're not willing to risk Capela in the final game of the regular season in order to have him fresh for what should be a battle against Nikola Vucevic. Capela has recorded four double-doubles over his last seven appearances, a span in which he's averaging 12.1 points and 11.4 rebounds per contest.

Porzingis will be rested for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

No surprise here, as the Celtics are just trying to keep their key players fresh for the playoffs. Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Al Horford will also be held out.

Boucher (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Heat, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

Boucher last played March 9, when he recorded 16 points and eight rebounds across 31 minutes in a road loss to the Trail Blazers. The big man missed Toronto's final 18 contests, and he finished the campaign with averages of 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game across 50 appearances off the bench. From a statistical perspective, this was Boucher's worst year since the 2018-19 campaign, his second season in the NBA.

Poeltl (finger) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Heat, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

Poeltl will miss his 21st straight game to end the season Sunday after undergoing surgery on his left pinkie finger. The 28-year-old big man will end the 2023-24 campaign averaging 11.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in 26.4 minutes across 50 appearances.
