Sarr (ankle) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Sarr has missed the last three games for the Wizards while dealing with an ankle injury. He'll return to the floor Saturday in Charlotte, which should give Washington a much-needed boost in the frontcourt against the Hornets.

The Clippers waived Jones on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Jones played in 28 games for the Clippers this season, averaging 7.8 minutes per contest. The 24-year-old big man averaged 2.2 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, shooting 72.2 percent from the floor. Los Angeles brought in Seth Lundy and Patrick Baldwin on two-way deals along with this move Saturday.

Clarke has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs with a laceration on his lip.

Clarke has missed just four games this season for the Grizzlies, but he might not play Saturday against San Antonio. After missing most of last season for Memphis, the veteran big man has returned to his regular workload, playing 18.8 minutes per game. However, he's averaging career-low numbers in points (8.1), rebounds (5.0) and assists (1.0). The team could turn to Santi Aldama, GG Jackson and Jay Huff to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt if Clarke is ruled out against the Spurs.

Missi finished Friday's 125-108 loss to the Suns with 24 points (11-14 FG, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 26 minutes.

Missi has been one of the most productive and consistent rookies in the 2024-25 NBA season, and the former Baylor standout recorded double-digit points for the third game in a row. He's been averaging 9.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game since the beginning of February, and it seems he has locked down the starting role at center for the rest of the campaign as the Pelicans attempt to make a late push for a Play-In berth.

Richards finished Friday's 125-108 victory over the Pelicans with 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block over 29 minutes.

Bol Bol led the Suns in scoring with a 25-point effort, but Richards made his presence felt as well, ending as the Suns' second-best scorer and also making an impact on the glass. Richards has established himself as the Suns' starting center after being acquired via trade from the Hornets in mid-January, and the numbers back him up. He's averaging 9.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 0.9 blocks across 23.1 minutes per game since joining Phoenix.

Bol posted 25 points (9-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 26 minutes during Friday's 125-108 win over the Pelicans.

Bol established a new season-high mark in scoring for the second time in the current week, as he scored 23 points against the Grizzlies on Tuesday. He's started in the Suns' last three games and has posted better-than-expected numbers, averaging 21.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.0 blocks per contest. He's forming a solid frontcourt partnership with Nick Richards.

Edey ended Friday's 114-113 loss to the Knicks with 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 24 minutes.

Edey posted his ninth double-double of the season in an efficient outing Friday. The rookie big man also tied the game-high mark in blocks, recording his 15th outing with multiple swats. Edey has averaged 7.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks across 20.6 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Robinson (ankle) recorded six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes Friday in the Knicks' 114-113 win over the Grizzlies.

Making his season debut after missing the Knicks' first 58 games while recovering from offseason surgery on his left ankle, Robinson immediately overtook Precious Achiuwa (four minutes) as the top backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), who returned from a one-game absence of his own. Though Robinson presumably headed into Friday's game with a minutes restriction in mind, he's unlikely to see his playing time climb substantially so long as Towns remains available. Instead, Robinson's main utility in fantasy for the rest of the season will come as a streaming option for rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage for games in which Towns is sidelined.

Jokic racked up 23 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 17 rebounds, 15 assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 134-119 victory over Detroit.

Jokic didn't have his most efficient performance, but he still made 50 percent of his shots from the field, which shows how good he's been throughout the campaign. Furthermore, this was his seventh triple-double across 12 games since the beginning of February, and it was also the sixth time this season he posted at least 20 points, 15 boards and 15 dimes in a single game. Jokic has continued to dominate since the All-Star break, averaging 22.8 points, 14.0 rebounds, 12.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game over his last five outings.

Turner closed with 22 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 125-120 loss to Miami.

The big man finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Pascal Siakam (36 points), albeit in a losing effort. Turner sank five triples for the second consecutive contest, and his ability to stretch the floor has been impressive this season, during which he is averaging a career high in made three-pointers (2.2 per game) while shooting a career-high 40.8 percent from downtown. Additionally, the 10th-year center recorded multiple swipes for the 10th time through 51 regular-season appearances. Over his last five outings, Turner has averaged 19.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.8 three-pointers, 2.4 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.2 steals while shooting 45.6 percent from outside in 33.2 minutes per game.
