NBA Player News

Black is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons due to a right quadriceps contusion.

Black was a late addition to the injury report and is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. If the third-year guard is ultimately ruled out, Jett Howard and Jevon Carter would be candidates to see increased playing time.

The Mavericks signed Smith to a two-way contract Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Smith signed a two-way pact with Houston in December before being waived in January, though he will now join Dallas on a two-way deal. The second-year big man has yet to see any action at the NBA level this season, but he appeared in 27 G League outings with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and Capital City Go-Go before signing with Dallas. Over that stretch, he averaged 14.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.6 minutes per game.

Claxton (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Claxton popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a right thumb sprain, and the injury is severe enough for him to miss Sunday's contest. Day'Ron Sharpe should serve as the Nets' starting center against the Cavaliers in Claxton's absence. Claxton's next chance to play is Tuesday against Miami.

Antetokounmpo (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Antetokounmpo was a late addition to the injury report after presumably waking up under the weather Sunday. His absence shouldn't affect the Milwaukee rotation, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against Boston.

Pullin agreed to a two-way contract with the Timberwolves on Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Pullin will move into the two-way slot vacated by Jules Bernard, whom the Timberwolves waived Saturday. A second-year guard out of Florida, Pullin has spent the entire 2025-26 season in the G League with the Iowa Wolves, with whom he had averaging 23.8 points, 5.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers over 35.3 minutes per game in 14 appearances. He previously spent time last season on a two-way deal with the Grizzlies but logged just three total minutes over three appearances at the NBA level.

Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.

Antetokounmpo's late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday, but his status will be confirmed closer to the 3:30 p.m. ET tip-off. He's appeared in 11 of the Bucks' last 19 games but hasn't played more than five minutes in any of those outings, with most of his play coming in garbage time.

Peavy played the final 1:04 of Saturday's 115-105 win over the Jazz, recording one rebound and no other statistics.

Peavy had missed four consecutive games due to a right toe sprain before being cleared to play ahead of Thursday's 129-118 win over Utah. He went unused in that contest but was able to get some run in garbage time in Saturday's rematch. Though the rookie second-round pick looks to be outside of the rotation at the moment, Peavy could be in line for some run on the second unit if Zion Williamson ends up missing time after spraining his ankle during Saturday's contest.

The Celtics signed Tonje to a two-way contract Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Tonje's 10-day contract with the Celtics expired Sunday, but the rookie second-rounder will stick around in Boston after inking a two-way deal on the same day. The Wisconsin product was acquired by the Celtics from the Jazz in early February in exchange for Chris Boucher. Tonje has played mostly in the G League with the Maine Celtics but has appeared in two regular-season games for Boston, most recently in Friday's 148-111 win over Brooklyn, when he logged two points, two rebounds and an assist over five minutes. Tonje is unlikely to see the floor except in garbage time or during the final games of the regular season if the Celtics have locked in their seeding for the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Philadelphia recalled Edwards from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday.

Edwards is back with the parent club ahead of Sunday's game in Boston after he made his fifth G League appearance of the season in the Blue Coats' 143-123 win over the Grand Rapids Gold on Saturday, when he finished with 32 points (13-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds, five steals, two assists and one block in 38 minutes. Despite the strong showing in the G League, Edwards isn't guaranteed to be part of the Philadelphia rotation Sunday.

Tonje became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Celtics expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Acquired from the Jazz ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, Tonje had been signed to a two-way deal but was converted to a 10-day contract Feb. 19. After a stint in the G League to begin his time in the organization, the second-round rookie out of Wisconsin got the chance to see his first NBA action this past week, when he appeared in two games and logged two points, two rebounds and one assist in nine total minutes. While it's unclear if the Celtics intend to retain Tonje, the team currently has three openings on the 15-man roster as well as a vacant two-way slot.
