NBA Player News

Collins (back) won't play Tuesday against Cleveland, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Collins will miss his second straight contest while dealing with back spasms. Walker Kessler and Taylor Hendricks should continue to see more opportunities in Collins' absence.

Jokic (hip) is probable to face the Spurs on Tuesday.

The probable tag suggests Jokic should end up playing despite being less than 100 percent. He gets a complicated one-on-one matchup against Victor Wembanyama, though Jokic already posted 39 points, 11 rebounds and nine rebounds in his previous meeting against the Spurs this season.

Horford is in the starting lineup to face the Hornets on Monday.

Horford will slide into the starting unit with Jaylen Brown (hand) out. This will move Jayson Tatum to the small forward role, while Horford will play alongside Kristaps Porzingis in the frontcourt. Horford is averaging 10.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 blocks per game across 30 starts this season.

Gibson (hamstring) won't play Monday against the Grizzlies.

As expected, Gibson won't feature Monday, meaning the veteran big man will now miss a seventh consecutive game -- and the 14th of Detroit's last 15 contests. His next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Wednesday.

Holmes (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.

Holmes has missed the last two games due to a bruised left toe, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Tuesday. If he remains out Tuesday, Marvin Bagley will likely continue to see increased run.

Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Robinson returned last week following a 50-game absence and appeared in back-to-back games, totaling 15 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks in 32 minutes. However, he missed Sunday's 113-112 loss to the Thunder and is in danger of being sidelined again Tuesday. If that's the case, Precious Achiuwa would likely see elevated minutes as the primary backup center to Isaiah Hartenstein.

Richards (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Boston.

Richards was questionable for Monday's matchup, and he'll be unavailable in the second half of a back-to-back set due to plantar fascia in his right foot. Grant Williams and Aleksej Pokusevski are candidates to see increased playing time, while Richards' next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Boucher (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers and remains out indefinitely, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Boucher suffered a partial MCL tear in his right knee in early March and doesn't have a return timetable. It wouldn't be surprising if Boucher misses the rest of the 2023-24 regular season.

Porzinigs (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Hornets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Porzingis will shake off a questionable tag and suit up for a fourth straight game. Over his last six appearances, the talented big man has averaged 18.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals in 30.2 minutes per game.

Hayes (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Hayes was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's win over the Nets due to a calf contusion but will likely suit up Tuesday, which is the second half of a back-to-back set. In March (13 games), Hayes has averaged 5.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 15.2 minutes per game.
