Reid (neck) is available for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Reid exited Friday's game against the Spurs due to neck soreness but will be able to suit up two days later. He's averaging 13.8 points and 4.3 rebounds in 22.9 minutes per game this season.

Biyombo had 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-7 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 36 minutes in Sunday's 105-101 win over the Clippers.

Biyombo has recorded 10-plus rebounds in all four games for the Grizzlies since joining the team on Nov. 2. He registered his second-straight double-double as he fills in a need at rebounding with Steven Adams (knee) out for the season. He also had a team-best plus-20 point differential and was one of four Grizzlies starters to score in double figures Sunday.

Bagley is starting Sunday against the Bulls, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Bagley came off the bench in his last two appearances, but he'll join the starting lineup for the third time this season with Jalen Duren (ankle) unavailable Sunday. Bagley averaged 10.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 28.5 minutes per game during his previous two starts this season.

Koloko (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Koloko will miss a 10th straight game due to a respiratory condition. His next chance to make his season debut will come Wednesday against the Bucks.

Gafford (thumb) has returned to Sunday's game against Brooklyn, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Gafford checked back into the contest midway through the third quarter. Gafford's active play style leads to his fair share of bumps and bruises, but he's no worse for the wear Sunday.

Gafford (thumb) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Nets.

Gafford suffered the injury shortly before halftime, and Bilal Coulibaly replacing him in the second-half lineup bodes poorly for his return. Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala could see enlarged roles.

Claxton (ankle) will start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Claxton will take the court for the first time since Brooklyn's regular-season opener. He gained additional reps with Brooklyn's G League affiliate over the past week, but it's unclear how extensive his workload will be in his return. Royce O'Neale will move to the second unit.

The Clippers announced Sunday that Plumlee (knee) will be re-evaluated in four weeks as he recovers from a serious MCL sprain, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Plumlee suffered a left MCL sprain on Nov. 6 against the Knicks. While the grade of his sprain has not been publicized, his lengthy recovery timeline indicates a longer absence is likely. He will miss the Clippers' next 11 games prior to being re-evaluated.

Looney contributed two points (1-2 FG), 13 rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Saturday's 118-110 loss to the Cavaliers.

Looney attempted only two shots in the loss, but he more than satisfied his center requirements with a double-digit rebound total. Although you can never depend on a big scoring night from Looney, he keeps the Warriors from being outmatched in the paint, which will happen occasionally when coach Steve Kerr elects to use a small-ball approach against certain opponents.

Adebayo totaled 26 points (9-12 FG, 8-8 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 victory over the Hawks.

Adebayo was handed a more significant responsibility on offense with Tyler Herro (ankle) and Jimmy Butler (personal) inactive, and the star big man responded by delivering one of his best performances of the season. Aside from recording double-digit boards for the third contest in a row, he also extended his streak of multiple blocks to three games. Adebayo is averaging 23.4 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 steals per game in November.
