NBA Player News

Bradley (illness) has been cleared to play Friday against the Jazz.

After missing Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to an illness, Bradley will be available to play Friday against Utah. However, he hasn't made much of an impact from a fantasy perspective, as he averages only 5.7 minutes per game for Indiana this season.

Holmes (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game versus the Magic.

Holmes has been downgraded from doubtful to out Thursday due to a right shoulder contusion. His next chance to play will come during Sunday's matchup with Boston.

Gibson (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Kings.

After missing Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to an illness, Gibson will be available to play in Friday's game against Sacramento. However, the veteran big man hasn't made much of an impact from a fantasy perspective this season, averaging only 11.0 minutes per game for Charlotte.

Kessler is out for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to a nasal fracture and concussion protocol.

Kessler logged 28 minutes in his return to action Wednesday but will sit out Friday's contest due to being in concussion protocol and a nasal fracture. KJ Martin and Kyle Filipowski will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Kessler's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Atlanta.

Williams (back) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Kings.

Williams is trending toward playing in Friday's game against Sacramento despite dealing with a back issue. The talented young big man has recorded a double-double in three straight games as he continues to put up strong numbers on a nightly basis for the Hornets.

Porzingis (illness) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Suns, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Porzingis will return to action Friday after missing Boston's previous contest due to an illness. Porzingis should reclaim his starting spot from Luke Kornet against Phoenix.

Horford (toe) has been cleared to play Friday against the Suns, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

After missing three of the last five games for the Celtics with a toe injury, Horford will be back on the floor Friday against Phoenix. The veteran big man has played well over the last three games for Boston, averaging 18.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting 50 percent from the floor and 38.5 percent from deep.

Duren amassed 13 points (3-10 FG, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-103 loss to the Thunder.

Duren struggled badly from the floor, and his efficiency from the charity stripe was the main reason he ended up with a double-double in this loss. The big man continues to play at a high level on both ends of the court and is ending the regular season on a strong note. He's tallied four double-doubles over his last five outings, averaging 15.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks per game in that span.

Kelley and the Pelicans agreed to a 10-day contract Thursday, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Kelley has been a standout player for the South Bay Lakers in the G League and had a stint in the NBA with Dallas earlier this season. With so many injuries in New Orleans, Kelley could get an extended look with his new team.

Sabonis posted 18 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 loss to the Wizards.

Sabonis finished just three assists away from recording what would've been his first triple-double since March 14, when he recorded 12 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in a loss to the Suns. From a statistical perspective, Sabonis hasn't looked as dominant as last season, but he remains one of the best and most productive big men in the NBA. The statistical dropoff is noticeable, though, as he's averaging "only" 12.9 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game since the All-Star break.
