Sims (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Boston.

Sims has started in the Bucks' last three contests, most recently finishing with six points, 20 rebounds and two assists in Wednesday's loss to the Houston Rockets. While the 27-year-old is expected to suit up versus the Celtics, it's unknown if he'll remain in the starting lineup, considering Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner are off the injury report.

Harkless (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against Houston.

Harkless will miss a third straight game while dealing with a left hamstring strain. Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) are also out, leaving Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng to shoulder the majority of the minutes in the backcourt.

Williams (foot) has been cleared to play Thursday against Charlotte, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Williams appeared to be trending in the right direction leading up to tipoff, and the team has since officially declared him available for Thursday's clash, which will mark the big man's first action since March 3. The Duke product has missed nearly a month while recovering from a stress reaction in his left foot, so it's not clear if he'll immediately return to the starting five or if Phoenix will elect to ease him back into live action.

Harris (personal) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Before missing the last four games for personal reasons, Harris was sidelined for the prior three due to a groin injury. He's off the injury report ahead of Friday's contest, but he isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time.

Antetokounmpo (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Antetokounmpo is nursing a left calf strain that has forced him to miss Milwaukee's last four games. Even if he's upgraded to available Friday, he's unlikely to make much of an impact in the game.

Prince (neck) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Celtics.

After sitting out Wednesday's loss to Houston, Prince is ready to roll for Friday. The veteran swingman has averaged 9.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 24.2 minutes per contest in his last nine games.

Trent (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against Boston.

Trent suffered a left hip injury during Wednesday's matchup with Houston, and he's now in danger of missing additional game action. The Bucks will presumably keep a close eye on how he's moving in shootaround and leading up to game time before making a final ruling on his status for Friday evening.

Sasser (hip) is available for Thursday's game against Minnesota.

Sasser will shake off his questionable tag due to a right hip strain and suit up for a fifth consecutive contest. He has averaged 6.8 points and 2.5 assists across 13.3 minutes per tilt over the last four games.

Portis (wrist) is out for Friday's game against Boston.

Portis is slated for his sixth consecutive absence while rehabbing from a left wrist sprain. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Sunday against Memphis.

Kuzma (Achilles) is off the injury report for Friday's game versus the Celtics.

Kuzma is ready to return to the lineup Friday following a one-game absence with an Achilles issue. The veteran forward has averaged 14.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.2 minutes per contest over his last 10 games.
