Jones (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Jones will miss a sixth straight game due to a right hamstring strain. It remains to be seen whether he'll be ready for the start of the playoffs next week, as he'll have an entire week to continue his rehab. Jones averaged 5.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in 64 appearances (37 starts) in the regular season.

Murray (ankle) will be sidelined for the Kings' final game of the season Sunday against the Trail Blazers.

Murray will end the season having not played since Feb. 25. The fourth-year forward couldn't get things going, struggling with injuries and appearing in just 23 games. He averaged 14.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals in 34.5 minutes.

Johnson (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Though they could drop to the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference with a loss and a Lakers win over the Jazz, the Nuggets will prioritize rest for Johnson and multiple other key rotation players. Johnson will wind up sitting out two straight games to close out the regular season, but he should be ready to handle a 30-plus-minute role once postseason play gets underway. Though Johnson shot a career-best 48 percent from the field and 43 percent from long distance in his first season in Denver, he was limited to just 54 appearances and saw his counting statistics take a hit while taking on a lower-usage role than he had handled with Brooklyn in 2024-25.

Westbrook (toe) is out for Sunday's season finale against the Trail Blazers.

Westbrook will end the 2025-26 season having missed 11 consecutive games. Though the Kings struggled this season, Westbrook had a relatively strong year. In his 64 appearances, the veteran averaged 15.2 points, 6.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 29.0 minutes.

Post (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Post will miss a seventh straight game due to a right foot injury, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday during the Play-In Tournament. The big man will finish the regular season with averages of 7.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 17.3 minutes per showing across 67 outings (35 starts).

Murphy (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Murphy will miss a fourth consecutive contest. With Dejounte Murray (hand) also ruled out, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole will likely be the starting options out of the backcourt against the Timberwolves.

Hardaway won't play Sunday against the Spurs due to left knee soreness.

Hardaway is one of several regular rotation members who will sit out Sunday's regular-season finale against the Spurs. The veteran sharpshooter enjoyed a strong regular season with Denver, averaging 13.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting a career-best 40.7 percent from three-point range in 80 regular-season contests (six starts).

Curry (adductor) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Curry sat out Friday's loss to Sacramento due to left adductor injury management. However, he's set to return to action in Golden State's regular-season finale. The veteran swingman has averaged 7.6 points and 1.0 rebounds in 13.8 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.

Murray (hand) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Murray will end up missing the Pelicans' final five games of the season due to a bruised left hand, but overall, this was a lost year for the veteran floor general. He missed the first half of the season while rehabbing from a torn Achilles and was limited to just 14 regular-season appearances (all starts) in 2025-26. He will end the season with averages of 16.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists per contest.

Curry (ankle) is not on the injury report for Sunday's matchup against the Clippers.

As expected, Curry will be available for the Warriors' final regular-season game. That said, Golden State is locked into the No. 10 seed heading into the Play-In Tournament, so it wouldn't be surprising if Curry came up short of a standard workload.
