Reaves (rib/oblique) underwent imaging recently and may not play in Sunday's game against Dallas, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

Reaaves underwent imaging to address injuries to his ribs and oblique. While the results are still pending and his official status for Sunday's meeting with Dallas hasn't been disclosed, it appears there's a chance he won't be on the floor for that contest. The 27-year-old has also been playing through a back injury. With the team already down Luka Doncic (hamstring) for at least the rest of the regular season, the latest update regarding Reaves means coach JJ Redick might be down another top producer. If that is the case, LeBron James may find himself handling the ball more, with Luke Kennard and Kobe Bufkin in line to see increased action at the point guard position.

Vukcevic (knee) is out for Saturday's game against Miami.

Vukcevic, who's dealing with a bruised right knee, has a short turnaround Sunday, when the Wizards face the Nets in Brooklyn. Anthony Gill should take on the bulk of the center minutes Saturday.

Champagnie (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Heat.

The forward is dealing with a bruised right knee but is ready to play Saturday. Champagnie has averaged 11.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 23.1 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.

Coulibaly (heel) is listed as available for Saturday's game against Miami.

Coulibaly didn't play in the 120-101 loss to the Lakers on Monday before subsequently returning for the 153-131 loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday. However, despite making another appearance on the injury report, the 21-year-old has the green light to suit up for his second consecutive contest. Coulibaly is coming off a productive month, averaging 14.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.2 steals across 27.8 minutes in March.

Johnson (foot) is available for Saturday's game versus Miami.

A right foot sprain left Johnson's status in danger for Saturday, but he's good to go. Over his last six outings, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 11.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 23.6 minutes per game.

Duren (illness) is questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Philadelphia.

The 26-year-old didn't suit up for the 114-110 overtime loss to Oklahoma City on Monday. However, despite appearing in Detroit's last two outings, he's now in jeopardy of missing this contest because of an illness. With Isaiah Stewart (calf) still on the shelf, Paul Reed would likely find himself back in the starting lineup if Duren can't suit up.

Sasser is available for Saturday's game versus the 76ers due to a right hip strain.

Sasser is shedding a probable tag despite the hip strain, which he picked up during Tuesday's win over the Raptors. He's played fewer than 10 minutes in back-to-back games, however, so Sasser is unlikely to make for an appealing fantasy option Saturday,

Embiid (oblique) won't play in Saturday's game against Detroit, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid had a 19-point, 13-rebound double-double with seven assists and three blocks across 34 minutes in Friday's 115-103 win over the Timberwolves. However, as expected, he won't play Saturday versus the Pistons, the second game of a back-to-back. Without Embiid, Adem Bona is the favorite to re-enter the starting lineup, with Andre Drummond likely to see minutes behind him from the bench.

Herro (foot) is available for Saturday's game against Washington.

Herro is playing through right foot soreness Saturday. Over his last five appearances, the star guard has averaged 21.6 points, 4.6 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 3.4 three-pointers in 36.0 minutes per game.

Sarr (toe) is out for Saturday's game against Miami.

Sarr is sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest due to a left toe issue. With Tristan Vukcevic (knee) also out Saturday, Anthony Gill should be in for a massive role at center against the Heat.
