NBA Player News

Marjanovic (not injury related) is inactive Sunday against Dallas, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Marjanovic is taking a seat so Houston's two-way players can be active. His absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops.

Kleber (back) is active for Sunday's game versus Houston.

Kleber is set to return from a one-game absence due to back spasms, bringing valuable reinforcement to a center rotation dealing with an extended absence from Dereck Lively (knee). Kleber has compiled seven points, nine rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 38 minutes across his last two contests without Lively.

Theis (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Theis is dealing with a sprained thumb on his non-shooting hand, which will sideline him Sunday. Head coach Tyronn Lue initially expected Theis to be available Sunday prior to the medical staff deciding otherwise. The Clippers will likely turn to Mason Plumlee and P.J. Tucker to fill the backup center minutes behind Ivica Zubac.

Bamba (illness) isn't listed on Philadelphia's injury report for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Bamba missed three straight games due to an illness but is cleared to suit up Sunday. Joel Embiid (knee) made his return following a lengthy absence while Bamba was sick, but the reigning MVP has been ruled out for Sunday's contest, which is the second night of a back-to-back set, for rest purposes. Bamba should garner a solid role versus San Antonio, though Paul Reed is expected to start at center in Embiid's stead.

Embiid won't play in Sunday's game versus the Spurs due to left knee injury management, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

With Sunday representing the second half of a back-to-back for Philadelphia, Embiid will end up sitting out after logging 23 minutes in Saturday's 116-96 win over the Grizzlies. Despite the light workload Saturday, Embiid made light work of the Grizzlies, finishing with 30 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 10-13 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one assist. With Embiid resting Sunday, Paul Reed and Mo Bamba are expected to cover most of the minutes at center.

Claxton is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings due to a left ankle sprain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Claxton finished Saturday's win over Detroit with five points (2-4 FG), nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks but tweaked his left ankle, though no injury was reported during the contest. Since Sunday's matchup is the second half of a back-to-back set and the Nets have already been eliminated from the Play-In Tournament, it wouldn't be surprising to see them rest most of their regulars versus Sacramento. Cameron Johnson (toe) and Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) have already been ruled out, while Dennis Schroder (Achilles) joins Claxton as questionable.

Robinson is questionable for Sunday's game against Indiana due to lower back soreness.

Robinson has been a healthy scratch for Miami's last three contests, so his absence is unlikely to impact the rotation if he's ultimately unavailable. Miami's rotation is otherwise fully healthy, including Tyler Herro (foot), who is set for his second game back Sunday.

Miami recalled Robinson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Saturday.

Robinson struggled offensively during Sioux Falls' G League playoff loss to the Oklahoma City Blue on Friday, scoring only nine points (4-14 FG) while committing a team-high four turnovers. However, he made an impact defensively by totaling eight boards, two steals and a block. With the Skyforce's season now over, Robinson will likely serve as a depth option for the Heat over the final week of the regular season.

Capela finished with 19 points (5-6 FG, 9-12 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 142-110 loss to the Nuggets.

Capela was surprisingly the highest scorer in the blowout loss, and the big man renewed a double-double streak after posting only six points in his last outing against Dallas. Capela's numbers have dropped in his 10th season, but he's still a productive member of the starting five. The Hawks will need excellent frontcourt support from Capela as they try to overtake the Bulls for ninth place in the Eastern Conference.

Theis is questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland due to a left thumb sprain.

Theis being added to Sunday's injury report in advance of the Clippers' 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff puts his status in jeopardy. Ivica Zubac and Mason Plumlee would split Theis' workload if he's unable to suit up, with Theis having logged 18 and 17 minutes in the Clippers' past two contests, respectively.
