Nance won't start Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.

With Ryan Rollins (hip) returning to action, Nance will shift back to a bench role after posting his first career double-double during Friday's loss to Boston. Nance has played at least 30 minutes in seven of the last 10 games (five starts) for the short-handed Bucks, averaging 9.3 points, 5.1 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 29.0 minutes during that stretch while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 41.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Black is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Nets.

Black is getting the spot start with Tre Johnson (foot) out, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Bub Carrington, Will Riley, Julian Reese and Anthony Gill. Across five starts this season, Black has averaged 9.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 triples and 1.0 steals per game.

Coffey (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

As expected, Coffey has been upgraded to available after head coach Jordan Ott said pregame that the veteran wing was trending in the right direction. With Phoenix close to full strength, Coffey isn't guaranteed playing time.

Clayton (hip) is available for Sunday's game in Milwaukee.

Clayton is back after a one-game absence. He'll slide into the starting lineup and should see heavy minutes Sunday, with Cam Spencer (back), Javon Small (thigh) and Ty Jerome (ankle) all unavailable. Clayton is averaging 8.9 points, 5.6 assists, 1.1 triples and 1.0 steals per game with the Grizzlies this season.

Coward (back) won't play Sunday in Milwaukee.

Coward will receive a maintenance day on the front end of a back-to-back set to rest his ailing back, which could result in a spot-start for Rayan Rupert. For now, Coward should be considered questionable for Monday's meeting with the Cavs.

Gibson (foot) is available for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.

Gibson has missed the Grizzlies' last four matchups while tending to a foot injury, but he'll be ready to go if needed Sunday. He figures to serve as frontcourt depth behind Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks.

Jackson (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

As expected, Jackson has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss his first matchup since March 20 while tending to left knee soreness. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Monday against the Cavaliers.

Head coach Jordan Ott said he expects Coffey (ankle) to be available for Sunday's game in Chicago, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Coffey still needs to go through his pregame routine before an official decision is made, but he's trending in the right direction. Coffey will likely have minutes restrictions if he's cleared, so he's not a great target in daily fantasy leagues.

Vanderbilt (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Vanderbilt will shake off a questionable tag and should see increased playing time moving forward, as Austin Reaves (oblique) and Luka Doncic (hamstring) are out for at least a month, while Marcus Smart (ankle) also remains sidelined. Over his past 10 appearances, Vanderbilt has averaged 3.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 13.2 minutes per game.

Richards (elbow) is out for Sunday's meeting with the Suns, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

This will be Richards' sixth straight game on the shelf, and for now, he should be considered questionable to face the Wizards on Tuesday. Patrick Williams, Guerschon Yabusele and Lachlan Olbrich will help fill the void at center with Richards unavailable.
