Horford amassed 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 118-101 victory over Indiana.

Horford saw extended minutes off the bench after Kristaps Porzingis suffered an eye injury in the first half, and the veteran big man responded with his regular contributions on both ends of the court. The 37-year-old big man finished just three rebounds and two assists away from a triple-double, and he could be in line for an extended role if Porzingis doesn't play against the Pacers on Monday.

Sengun ended Saturday's 112-108 victory over the Bucks with 21 points (7-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes.

Sengun wasn't efficient from the field in Saturday's win but registered his 11th double-double of the year. The third-year center has scored 20-plus points in eight of his last nine games. Sengun is averaging 21.4 points on 53.7 percent shooting, 9.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists over 32.0 minutes per game this season.

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

On the heels of a 41-point eruption in Friday's G League win over Birmingham, Robinson will rejoin Miami in advance of Monday's game against Houston. The 23-year-old owns a minus-0.2 net rating across 214 minutes of NBA action this season.

Porzingis (eye) never returned to Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Porzingis was deemed questionable to return after irritating his right eye early in the first quarter, and while he did attempt to warm up again at halftime, he went back to the locker room for good shortly after. According to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, coach Joe Mazzulla did not have an update on Porzingis' status after the game. For now, Porzingis should be considered questionable for Monday's rematch against Indiana.

Porzingis is questionable to return to Saturday's game against Indiana due to right eye irritation.

Porzingis suffered a scratch above his right eye in the first quarter and went to the bench. He briefly returned to the game, only to leave for the locker room moments later. If he's unable to return, the Celtics will need Al Horford and Luke Kornet to step up.

Koloko (illness) is out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Koloko is dealing with a respiratory issue and doesn't have a clear date for his return to the hardwood. His next chance to feature will come against the Lakers on Tuesday.

Embiid (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against the Jazz, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid had been listed as questionable after experiencing some swelling in his left knee following Friday's 128-92 loss to the Knicks, and after he wasn't on the floor for warmups Saturday, the 76ers downgraded him to out for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Fortunately for Embiid, he'll have some extended time to heal up with the 76ers not playing their next game until Wednesday against Atlanta. Paul Reed will start at center in Embiid's place Saturday and could be in store for heavy minutes.

Embiid is questionable to face the Jazz on Saturday due to left knee swelling, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid chipped in 30 points (10-23 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 128-92 loss to the Knicks, but he was spotted limping more than once, so the questionable tag isn't entirely surprising. The star big man said after the game that he twisted his knee in Friday's contest against New York. His absence would represent a huge absence for the Sixers, and it would probably translate into more minutes for Paul Reed. Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre could also benefit from more minutes if Embiid is ruled out.

Brown (wrist) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Nets.

Brown's absence streak will extend to three games Sunday due to a sprained left wrist. His next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.

Ayton (knee) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Nets.

Ayton will miss his seventh straight game Sunday due to right knee tendinitis. With Moses Brown (foot) also out, Duop Reath and Ibou Badji should continue to receive increased minutes. Ayton's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.
