  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Won't play Sunday

    Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Magic.

    Antetokounmpo will receive a rest day on the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he should be able to get back out there for Tuesday's game against the Suns. With Antetokounmpo out, expect more minutes for Bobby Portis and a larger usage rate for Ryan Rollins.

    Pistons' Caris LeVert: Won't play Sunday

    LeVert has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat due to a left wrist sprain.

    LeVert may have picked up the injury during the Pistons' 107-105 loss to the Nets on Saturday, when he logged 16 minutes and finished with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer. Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green should both see an increase in minutes off the bench due to LeVert's absence Sunday. LeVert's next opportunity to play is Tuesday against the Nets.

  • Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Probable for Sunday

    Cunningham (quad) is probable for Sunday's game in Miami.

    Cunningham skipped Saturday's loss to the Nets with a minor quad issue, but it looks like he'll be back in action Sunday, which should shift Daniss Jenkins back to the second unit. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Cunningham's status closer to tipoff.

  • Jonathan Isaac PF | ORL

    Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Questionable for Sunday

    Isaac (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game in Milwaukee, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

    Isaac has missed the past two games for Orlando, but there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there for Sunday's game. If he plays, Goga Bitadze could drop out of the rotation.

  • Magic's Jase Richardson: Could return Sunday

    Richardson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

    Richardson was unable to play in Saturday's win against Minnesota due to lower-back spasms. The rookie first-rounder has a chance to return for Sunday's contest, and while he's had inconsistent playing time since the All-Star break, Richardson would be in line for a larger role off the bench if Anthony Black (back) was ruled out.

  • Anthony Black SG | ORL

    Magic's Anthony Black: Questionable to play Sunday

    Black (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

    Black was forced to leave early in the first quarter of Saturday's 119-92 win over the Timberwolves due to a lower-back strain, and the injury puts him in jeopardy of missing the second leg of the Magic's back-to-back set Sunday. Tristan da Silva would be the top candidate to enter Orlando's starting lineup if Black is unable to play.

  • Andrew Wiggins SF | MIA

    Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Ruled out for Sunday

    Wiggins (toe) won't play Sunday versus the Pistons.

    This will be Wiggins' second straight game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's tilt with the Wizards. Myron Gardner and Kel'el Ware will continue to pick up the slack in Wiggins' absence.

  • Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Not starting Sunday

    Tyson is not in the Cavaliers' starting lineup against the Celtics on Sunday.

    Tyson was cleared to play Sunday after popping up on the injury report as questionable due to a neck strain. However, the second-year pro will come off the bench against Boston due to the return of Donovan Mitchell (groin) from a four-game absence.

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Cleared to play Sunday

    Tyson (neck) is available for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

    Tyson popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a neck strain, but the second-year pro has been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He has started in each of the Cavaliers' last four games, and over that span he has averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.0 steals over 34.0 minutes per contest.

  • Dean Wade PF | PHI

    Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Good to go Sunday

    Wade (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against Boston, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

    Wade missed the Cavaliers' last three games due to a right ankle sprain. He earned the probable tag for Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday, and the seventh-year pro has progressed enough in his recovery to return. Wade will likely start in his return due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (knee), with the former joining Evan Mobley in the frontcourt.
