Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Kuminga sat out Wednesday's win over Milwaukee due to left knee inflammation, and Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher absorbed his minutes. It'll be more of the same if he's out again Saturday, and managers can expect to get official confirmation on Kuminga's status closer to tipoff.

Wiggins (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Wiggins is working through bilateral knee tendinitis, so he'll sit for the second leg of the Heat's back-to-back set and hope to be available for Sunday's game against the Pistons. Kel'el Ware, Pelle Larsson and Myron Gardner are all candidates to enter Miami's starting lineup in Wiggins' absence.

Wade (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Wade has sat out the past three games for the Cavs, but with him getting in a full practice Friday, there's a chance he will get back out there for either Sunday's game versus Boston or Monday's matchup with the 76ers. If he is cleared to return, Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Larry Nance's minutes could dip.

Mitchell (groin) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Mitchell has missed the past four games for the Cavs, but getting through a full practice Friday suggests he's on the cusp of a return. However, Cleveland's next two games come as a Sunday-Monday back-to-back set, so it's unlikely that Mitchell will be available for both of those games. Check back for another update closer to Sunday's tip.

Allen (knee) did not practice Friday, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Allen injured his right knee midway through the third quarter of Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons and didn't return. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but the Cavaliers don't play until Sunday which helps his case.

Curry (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Curry hasn't appeared in a game for Golden State since Dec. 4. He's getting closer to a return, but he's simply going to be an emergency depth option once that happens.

Payton (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game in Oklahoma City.

Payton is on track to return from a two-game absence Saturday, which could result in fewer minutes for Pat Spencer and LJ Cryer. Check back for official confirmation on Payton's status closer to Saturday's tip.

Porzingis (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Porzingis can presumably be considered day-to-day after missing Golden State's last six games. He's traveling with the team on this road trip, suggesting a return to action is in his near future.

Melton (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Melton continues to be day-to-day with his ongoing knee soreness. If the veteran guard is unable to play, the Warriors could be very thin in the backcourt -- Will Richard (ankle) and Seth Curry (back) are also questionable.

Richard (ankle) is questionable to play Saturday against the Thunder.

Richard is in danger of missing his third consecutive game Saturday, but we'll have a better idea of his status based on his activity level at shootaround. If the rookie second-rounder is ultimately ruled out again, Gui Santos and Malevy Leons will help pick up the slack.
