Collier (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

The second-year point guard will join Keyonte George (hamstring) on the inactive list for a second consecutive contest, and the former's next opportunity to play will come Monday against Toronto. With Collier out, Elijah Harkless, Bez Mbeng and Kennedy Chandler are candidates for expanded roles.

Williams will start Friday's game against New York, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

With Noah Clowney (wrist) out, Williams will get the starting nod for the third time this month. As a starter this season (seven games), he has averaged 10.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.1 steals in 24.6 minutes per contest.

Reid (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

This will be Reid's second straight game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game in Boston. Joan Beringer and Kyle Anderson could see a bump in minutes with Reid unavailable.

Krejci (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Krejci will miss a third straight game due to a left calf contusion, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday in Denver. With the 25-year-old guard unavailable, Kris Murray and Scoot Henderson are candidates for increased playing time, while Blake Wesley could rejoin the rotation.

Coward is out for Friday's game versus Boston due to personal reasons, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Coward was a late addition to the injury report Friday, and he'll need to step away from the team for at least one contest. The rookie swingman faces a quick turnaround if he wants to rejoin the Grizzlies on Saturday, when they take on the Hornets in Charlotte. His absence Friday vacates a spot in the starting lineup likely for either Walter Clayton or Javon Small to fill.

Toppin (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs.

Toppin is in danger of missing his second straight game, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround. If he's unable to give it a go, Kobe Brown would have the chance for some extended minutes.

Potter (triceps) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Potter is in danger of missing a third consecutive contest due to a right triceps strain. If the 27-year-old big man isn't cleared to play, Kobe Brown could see a slight bump in minutes, especially if Pascal Siakam (knee) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Sheppard is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio due to a left ankle sprain.

Sheppard could test out the issue during pregame warmups before the Pacers update his status. Indiana has a plethora of players listed as questionable for Saturday, meaning the team could need to summon some two-way players from the G League's Noblesville Boom for reinforcements.

McConnell (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

McConnell continues to deal with right hamstring soreness but has been cleared to play in four consecutive contests. If the veteran point guard is unable to play Saturday, Kam Jones could see increased burn, especially if Andrew Nembhard (calf) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Jackson (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game in San Antonio.

Jackson has been listed as questionable the past three games, but he's played in each of those contests. Check back for official word on Jackson closer to Saturday's tipoff.
