Doncic (hamstring) is out for the remainder of Thursday's game against Oklahoma City, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports. He'll end the night with 12 points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 26 minutes.

This news isn't unexpected given the amount of pain Doncic appeared to be in after suffering the injury, and the game was also out reach shortly after he departed for the locker room. The Lakers should have more information to share on the extent of the star guard's injury after running additional tests. Doncic is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Friday, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com.

Okani agreed Thursday with the Grizzlies on a 10-day contract, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Memphis has brought in Okani and Dariq Whitehead on 10-day deals to replace DeJon Jarreau and Tyler Burton, both of whom had their 10-day contracts expire Thursday. An undrafted rookie out of West Virginia, Okani has thus far spent the entire 2025-26 campaign with the G League's Westchester Knicks, averaging 6.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 21.4 minutes per game over 47 appearances. While he's likely to get the chance to receive some meaningful run with Memphis over its final six games, Okani's statistical profile in the G League doesn't suggest that he'll be a major fantasy factor.

Dort went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Lakers, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.

Dort was fouled on an attempt near the rim and was shaken up the play. He was spotted walking to the locker room to get evaluated during the next timeout. Dort can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Doncic went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Thunder with an apparent left hamstring injury, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Doncic looked to suffer the injury while pulling up for a shot attempt, and he was down on the baseline for a few minutes after the play before eventually getting up and limping to the locker room under his own power. The exact details of his injury are unclear at this time.

Whitehead signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Whitehead will provide Memphis with depth down the stretch of the regular season as the club limps to the finish line. The 21-year-old appeared in 34 games this season with the G League's Oklahoma City Blue, and he averaged 11.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 23.4 minutes per contest.

Green closed Thursday's 127-107 loss to the Hornets with 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes.

Green bounced back from a sluggish eight-point showing Tuesday against the Magic by draining 52.6 percent of his field-goal attempts Thursday night. He led the Suns in scoring and was active as a playmaker, as he tied his season high in assists. Green has also been a force on the defensive end of late, recording two steals in three straight matchups.

Duren tallied 22 points (8-15 FG, 6-10 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes in Thursday's 113-108 win over the Timberwolves.

Duren struggled from the charity stripe but turned in a fairly efficient performance from the field and finished as Detroit's second-leading scorer. The star big man also grabbed a game-high mark in rebounds, securing his fifth double-double over his last six outings. Additionally, the 22-year-old recorded at least one block for a fifth straight game, logging two swats in three of them.

Reaves (back) returned to Thursday's game against the Thunder with 9:40 remaining in the second quarter.

Reaves exited to the locker room late in the opening quarter due to an apparent lower-back issue. He returned to the court shortly thereafter but was still seen grabbing at the left side of his lower back, so the issue may be worth monitoring for the remainder of the contest.

Reaves exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Thunder due to an apparent lower-back issue, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

Reaves was seen grabbing at the left side of his lower back for several minutes before checking out and heading back to the locker room with 2:25 remaining in the opening quarter. He can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Kornet will start Thursday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Kornet will enter the starting lineup in place of Victor Wembanyama (ankle). Kornet's last start dates back to March 12, when he was held scoreless but recorded three rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 25 minutes.
