Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Wagner will end up missing a 20th consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain, but he has been ramping up his activities and was recently cleared to practice with the Osceola Magic in the G League. He's not quite ready to return, but his next chance to do so is Tuesday against the Suns.

Gibson is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to right foot soreness.

Gibson's foot soreness has been a nagging issue, and it's likely to prevent him from suiting up in the tail end of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set. The veteran center has appeared in seven games with Memphis this season, averaging 9.3 minutes. His absence would likely leave center duties to Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks (thumb).

Spencer (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Chicago.

The Grizzlies might be running with a skeleton crew Saturday. With Walter Clayton (ankle) questionable and Ty Jerome (ankle) out, Javon Small may be running things in the backcourt to begin the contest. DeJon Jarreau and Rayan Rupert might also need to get more involved off the bench.

Jerome (ankle) won't play Saturday versus the Bulls.

The Grizzlies injury report remains extensive. With Cam Spencer (back) doubtful and Walter Clayton (ankle) questionable, Javon Small and Cedric Coward may see most of the minutes in the backcourt, with extended action potentially on tap for DeJon Jarreau and Rayan Rupert.

Mashack (ankle) is listed questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Mashack has a legitimate chance at returning from a six-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. With several of the Grizzlies' guards also on the injury report, Mashack would likely be in line for a 20-plus-minute role if he ends up taking the court.

Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Saturday that he would be surprised if Porter (knee) played again this season, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Porter -- who was already ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs -- has missed nine of the Bucks' last 12 games due to a lingering right knee injury. Given that a loss Saturday will official eliminate the Bucks from playoff contention, the Bucks won't have much reason to rush Porter back to the court while he's anything less than 100 percent. Assuming Porter's 2025-26 campaign is over, he'll finish with averages of 17.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes per game, with his assists and steals numbers both representing career highs. AJ Green and Gary Trent are among the players who could continue to handle increased roles in Porter's absence.

Hendricks is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to right thumb soreness.

Hendricks is at risk of missing Saturday's closing end of a back-to-back, as the 22-year-old forward played 30 minutes Friday night. If Hendricks doesn't suit up, Rayan Rupert and Tyler Burton would be in line for more minutes.

Clayton is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to left ankle soreness.

Clayton is at risk of missing the tail end of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set due to an ankle issue. If he's cleared to play, though, Clayton would likely see plenty of run, as Ty Jerome (ankle) is out, Cam Spencer (back) is doubtful and Jahmai Mashack (ankle) is questionable.

Simons (wrist) won't play in Saturday's game against Memphis.

Simons has missed over a month due to a fractured left wrist, and his return won't come Saturday. As a result, Rob Dillingham and Collin Sexton should continue to absorb most of the minutes off the bench behind Josh Giddey and Tre Jones.

Yabusele (ankle) is out for Saturday's game in Memphis.

Yabusele got the start in Friday's 131-113 loss to Oklahoma City. However, the big man will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Jalen Smith (calf) and Nick Richards (elbow) also sidelined, the Bulls will be thin at the five, potentially resulting in Lachlan Olbrich making the first start of his career.
