Richards will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

After coming off the bench in Friday's loss to the Celtics, Richards will return to the starting lineup for Phoenix on Sunday in New York. In 41 games as a starter this season, the Kentucky product has averaged 10.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting 60.0 percent from the field.

Drummond (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat.

Drummond will miss his 14th consecutive contest due to a sprained toe on his left foot. It wouldn't be a surprise if the non-contending Sixers continue to exercise caution with the veteran big man, though his next opportunity to feature will come Wednesday against Washington.

Duren (leg) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Duren is in danger of missing a second straight game for the Pistons while dealing with a contusion on his right leg. If he's ruled out against Sacramento, Detroit will likely turn to Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed to pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Kornet will start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

With Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) sidelined, Kornet and Al Horford will start in the frontcourt. As a starter this season, Kornet has averaged 9.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.8 blocks and 0.9 steals in 27.9 minutes per game.

Horford will start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

With Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) unavailable, Horford and Luke Kornet will start in the frontcourt. As a starter this season, Horford has averaged 9.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in 29.6 minutes per game.

Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Porzingis was a late addition to the injury report and will miss his second outing in April due to a non-COVID illness. HIs next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Knicks. Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta are candidates for a bump in minutes due to Porzingis being sidelined.

Reath (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Reath will miss a second straight game for the Trail Blazers due to right knee soreness. Jabari Walker may see a boost in minutes with Reath ruled out against San Antonio.

Robinson (ankle) isn't listed on New York's injury report for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Robinson will return to action after sitting out the last two games, including the first half of New York's current back-to-back set. Over his last 10 appearances (one start), the big man has averaged 5.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks in 17.5 minutes per game.

Holmes (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Holmes and Tristan Vukcevic (knee) have been downgraded from questionable to out. In their absence, Jaylen Martin, Anthony Gill and JT Thor are candidates for increased roles.

Adebayo totaled 31 points (11-25 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 43 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 overtime loss to the Bucks.

Adebayo got off to a sizzling start in the first half, and while he cooled off in the final two quarters and overtime, he was still Miami's best player by a wide margin in this loss. The star big man is ending the regular season in style. He has scored at least 20 points in his last four outings, a stretch in which he's averaging 26.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting an impressive -- and probably unsustainable -- 47.4 percent from beyond the arc.
