Giddey (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.

After missing Thursday's game against the Suns, Giddey remains day-to-day for the Bulls. If Chicago's primary playmaker is unable to suit up, the team will likely lean more on Tre Jones, Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham.

Sasser exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Nets due to an apparent lower left leg issue, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.

Sasser was seen grabbing at his left lower leg before checking out of Saturday's contest with 1:19 remaining in the first half. If he's unable to return in the second half, Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Rupert (two-way) will be inactive for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Rupert -- who recently re-signed with the Grizzlies on a two-way contract after originally joining the team on a 10-day deal -- had appeared in each of the last six games while averaging 9.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.0 assists in 27.5 minutes per game. Due to the nature of his contract, Rupert will be able to suit up in just 10 of the Grizzlies' remaining 21 games. With all of Ty Jerome (calf), Scotty Pippen (toe), Taylor Hendricks (illness) and Cedric Coward (knee) back in action for Saturday's contest after sitting out the previous game, the Grizzlies will opt to hold Rupert out in order to preserve some of his availability.

Goodwin (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Goodwin will miss a seventh consecutive contest due to a left calf strain, though he's expected to be re-evaluated soon. He should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Suns provide an update on his progress.

Salaun (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Salaun will be sidelined for a third straight game Sunday as he continues to nurse a calf strain. His next chance to play comes Tuesday against Portland.

Porzingis (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Porzingis will shake off his questionable tag and return from a six-game absence due to an illness. During his lone Warriors appearance in a loss to Boston on Feb. 19, the veteran big man posted 12 points, one rebound, one assist and one block in 17 minutes. He'll be limited to around 15-20 minutes Saturday, according to Anthony Slater of ESPN.com.

Payton (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Payton will shed a probable tag to suit up for this contest. With De'Anthony Melton (knee) sidelined, Payton is a candidate to see a handful of extra minutes against the Thunder.

Watkins (ankle/foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Watkins will miss a third consecutive contest due to a sprained left foot and ankle. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday in Miami. With the rookie second-rounder sidelined, Will Riley, Justin Champagnie and Leaky Black are candidates for increased minutes.

Sarr (hamstring) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Sarr has been rehabbing from a right hamstring strain that caused him to miss 10 consecutive games dating back to mid-February. His absence from the injury report indicates that he's progressed enough in his recovery to return Sunday, and if he moves back into the starting lineup, then Julian Reese will likely revert to a rotational role off the bench.

Vukcevic (thigh) will not play Sunday against the Pelicans.

Vukcevic will miss his fourth straight game Sunday. With Alex Sarr returning to action, Julian Reese may pick up the backup center minutes Sunday.
