  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Won't play against Bulls

    Bagley (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

    Bagley has started each of Dallas' last two games, though he exited Friday's loss to the Spurs after logging just eight minutes. With Daniel Gafford (rest) and P.J. Washington (elbow) also sidelined, Moussa Cisse will likely see an expanded role. Bagley will finish the campaign with averages of 10.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 20.0 minutes per tilt across 60 regular-season appearances (12 starts) between the Mavericks and Wizards.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Will play in regular-season finale

    Jokic (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

    While the rest of Denver's usual starters sit out Sunday's regular-season finale, Jokic will suit up in an effort to reach the 65-game threshold for end-of-season awards. Head coach David Adelman said pregame that the superstar will play the first half as usual before being evaluated ahead of the second half, per Matt Guzman of SI.com.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Out for season finale

    Wembanyama (ribs) is out for Sunday's game against Denver, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

    Wembanyama returned from a one-game absence for Friday's 139-120 win over the Mavericks. However, since he reached the 65-game threshold for awards eligibility, he can take the night off to rest up for the postseason. With Luke Kornet (shoulder) also out, Mason Plumlee or Kelly Olynyk could get the start at the five.

  • Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Starting Sunday

    Hukporti will start Sunday's game against the Hornets.

    Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will sit out New York's regular-season finale, opening the door for Hukporti to step into the starting five for the first time since Jan. 2. As a starter this season (four games), the second-year center has averaged 3.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 blocks across 20.8 minutes per contest.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Back in starting lineup

    Sims will start Sunday's game against the 76ers.

    Sims came off the bench during Friday's game against the Nets, but he will return to the starting lineup Sunday. Sims has played at least 35 minutes in each of his last three starts.

  • Hawks' Tony Bradley: Starting vs. Miami

    Bradley is in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Bradley will make his first start with the Hawks since signing with the team on a rest-of-season contract April 4. It'll be his fourth start of the 2025-26 season, with his last taking place Nov. 15 as a member of the Pacers.

  • Paul Reed C | DET

    Pistons' Paul Reed: Starting sans Duren

    Reed will start Sunday's game against the Pacers.

    With Jalen Duren (knee) out, Reed will get the starting nod in Detroit's regular-season finale. As a starter this season (10 games), the big man has averaged 14.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.8 steals across 27.5 minutes per contest.

  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Available Sunday

    Jackson-Davis (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

    Jackson-Davis will be available to return from a two-game absence due to an illness. However, he isn't guaranteed to see meaningful run while buried behind Jakob Poeltl, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles.

  • Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Not playing Sunday

    Vucevic (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    Vucevic has played in each of Boston's last four games after missing 14 consecutive games from March 8 to April 3 due to a fractured right index finger. The Celtics are locked in as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference standings, so with nothing to play for, Vucevic and several other key players for Boston will sit for Sunday's regular-season finale. Across 16 regular-season games (one start) with the Celtics, the veteran big man averaged 9.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 threes over 21.1 minutes per contest. With Vucevic and Neemias Queta (toe) both sidelined, Luka Garza and Amari Williams will both see significant playing time against Orlando.

  • Jaxson Hayes C | UTA

    Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Ruled out vs. Utah

    Hayes (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

    Hayes will end the regular season with a fourth straight game on the inactive list due to a left foot issue. Maxi Kleber and Jarred Vanderbilt could see increased playing time in Hayes' stead. The big man will finish the regular season with averages of 7.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.8 blocks across 18.3 minutes per game in 66 outings (nine starts).
