NBA Player News

Horford (calf) registered 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two assists and one block in 18 minutes during Friday's 124-118 loss to the Kings.

Just as head coach Steve Kerr had promised heading into Friday's contest, Horford was on a restriction of 15-to-20 minutes and fell right between that range while suiting up for the first time since March 13. Though Horford didn't appear to have any setbacks in his return from the right soleus strain that kept him sidelined for 14 straight games, the Warriors may not have much motivation to aggressively ramp up his workload during Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Clippers. Golden State is already locked into the No. 10 seed and may prefer to preserve Horford's health heading into next week's Western Conference Play-In Tournament.

Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Jokic needs to suit up in Sunday's regular-season finale to reach the 65-game threshold for end-of-season awards, though there's a chance he will be held out. If the big man is cleared to play, he would likely see limited run, as the rest of Denver's usual starters have already been ruled out.

Turner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the 76ers.

Turner will sit out Milwaukee's regular-season finale, which should result in a start for Jericho Sims. Turner put up eighth-round value in his first season with the Bucks, posting averages of 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 triples and 1.6 blocks per game.

Hartenstein has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix due to left soleus injury management.

The Thunder are listing 10 players out for their regular-season finale, including Chet Holmgren (back) and Hartenstein. However, the veteran big man should be available for the start of the postseason. Branden Carlson and Kenrich Williams should see significant burn in the frontcourt once again Sunday.

Kornet (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Denver.

Kornet is dealing with right shoulder soreness and will miss San Antonio's regular-season finale. He'll finish the regular season with averages of 6.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks across 21.0 minutes per game in 68 regular-season appearances (25 starts).

Claxton (finger) is out for Sunday's game in Toronto, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

E.J. Liddell and Trevon Scott could again see significant minutes Sunday as the last men standing in Brooklyn's frontcourt. Claxton will end the season with averages of 11.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists (career-high figure) and 1.1 blocks per game.

Wembanyama (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Although Wembanyama has already reached the 65-game threshold for end-of-season awards thanks to his appearance in the NBA Cup title game, he could still suit up in San Antonio's regular-season finale. The star big man would likely be limited if he's cleared to suit up, as he's still dealing with left ribcage soreness after sustaining a rib contusion in Monday's win over the 76ers.

Bryant (calf) won't play Sunday against the Wizards.

Bryant will miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, and he'll be joined on the inactive list by Jarrett Allen (knee) and Evan Mobley (calf), leaving Cleveland very thin up front. Larry Nance and Olivier Sarr figure to help fill the void at center.

Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against Cleveland.

Sarr will end up missing 23 of the Wizards' final 30 games of the regular season, most recently due to left toe inflammation. The 2024 first overall pick will end his sophomore season averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 threes, 2.0 blocks and 0.8 steals over 27.2 minutes per game.

Towns has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets due to right elbow injury management.

The Knicks don't have anything to play for Sunday, given that they were locked in as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference following the Celtics' blowout win over the Pelicans on Friday. As such, Towns and the rest of the New York starters will be rested for the Knicks' regular-season finale, though they should all be available for the start of the postseason, with the possible exception of OG Anunoby (ankle). Towns will end the 2025-26 regular season averaging 20.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 threes and 0.9 steals over 31.0 minutes per game. With Towns and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) both out, the Knicks will lean more heavily on Ariel Hukporti, Trey Jemison, Mohamed Diawara and Jeremy Sochan.
