Sharpe (wrist) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Sharpe ends the regular season having missed three of Brooklyn's last six games, and while he had some ups and downs throughout the campaign, he ended up scoring in double digits in 15 different appearances despite playing mostly off the bench. The third-year big man averaged 6.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 15.1 minutes per game this season, with each of those figures representing career-high marks for him.

Carter (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bucks.

Carter is in danger of missing Sunday's contest after being held to just four minutes of action against Philadelphia due to back spasms. If the 24-year-old center is ruled out, Moritz Wagner and Goga Bitadze will likely receive increased playing time.

Hartenstein isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Bulls.

Hartenstein will return to action Sunday after missing the Knicks' previous contest due to left Achilles injury management. Hartenstein should reclaim his starting spot from Jericho Sims against Chicago.

Drummond (ankle) will remain sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Knicks.

Drummond's absence will be his third straight to close out the regular season, as he is nursing a left ankle sprain. The veteran big man's availability for Chicago's Play-In Game is up in the air at this point.

Vucevic (rest) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Knicks.

Vucevic will return to action Sunday after missing Chicago's previous contest for rest purposes. The star big man is averaging 15.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 32.4 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Wiseman registered 10 points (5-10 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during Friday's 107-89 win over the Mavericks.

Wiseman's double-double marked his sixth of the season and fourth in the last 11 games. In that 11-game stretch, the 2020 No. 2 pick has averaged 7.5 minutes, 6.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.5 blocks across 23.4 minutes. He will look to close out the season strongly in Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Jokic produced 22 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 121-120 loss to the Spurs.

Jokic's team-high 12 assists helped him record his 67th double-double of the season during Friday's loss to San Antonio. However, Jokic took a back seat to Jamal Murray in the scoring department, as the superstar big man's 13 field-goal attempts were tied for his fewest since March 13. Jokic is averaging 29.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.9 steals in 36.5 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Embiid is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nets due to left knee injury recovery.

Embiid tweaked his knee in Friday's game versus Orlando and could be held out of Sunday's contest. If the superstar big man is ruled out against Brooklyn, Mo Bamba and Paul Reed are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Collins logged 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Friday's 121-120 win over the Nuggets.

Despite moving back to the bench Friday, Collins was still a large part of the Spurs' comeback effort. The 26-year-old big man led San Antonio's bench in points and rebounds. Across his 40 bench appearances this season, Collins is averaging 8.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 18.0 minutes.

Wembanyama closed Friday's 121-120 victory over the Nuggets with 34 points (12-27 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes.

Wembanyama's stellar performance against the defending champions helped San Antonio erase a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit for just the team's 21st win of the season. The rookie phenom tied his season high with five threes made Friday. Wembanyama has proven to be a dominant force already in his career, recording 43 double-doubles in 71 appearances in 2023-24.
