Post exited Sunday's game against the Nuggets for the locker room due to an apparent right lower leg injury, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Post came into Sunday's contest dealing with a right foot issue, and it appeared as if he rolled his right ankle before exiting the game. He should be considered questionable at best to return until any further update is given.

Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Warriors due to right hamstring tightness, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jones logged six minutes in the opening quarter but exited to the locker room ahead of the second. If he's unable to check back in, Tim Hardaway and Zeke Nnaji could see increased playing time.

Brunson logged 32 points (13-22 3Pt, 4-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 111-100 loss to the Thunder.

Brunson put together another impressive performance Sunday despite the loss, logging a game-high 32 points on great efficiency. In addition to his scoring, Brunson dished out a team-high five assists. The star guard has averaged 30.0 points, 8.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 38.3 minutes per contest over his last three appearances.

McBride (undisclosed) exited Sunday's 111-100 loss to the Thunder in the third quarter and did not return, finishing with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block in 11 minutes.

McBride returned from a 28-game absence during which he underwent sports hernia surgery Feb. 6. He dove for a loose ball in the third quarter and stayed down for an extended period while grabbing at his groin area before limping to the locker room. The Knicks later deemed him doubtful to return due to undisclosed reasons while he was being evaluated, and his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Tuesday's game in Houston.

McBride (undisclosed) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Thunder, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

McBride exited for the locker room in the third quarter and is unlikely to return. Jose Alvarado is likely to see extra minutes while McBride is sidelined.

Sengun supplied 36 points (12-23 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and three blocks across 32 minutes in Sunday's 134-102 win over the Pelicans.

Sengun delivered an efficient performance, especially from beyond the arc, while stuffing the stat sheet in Sunday's blowout victory. The star big man led all players in scoring, reaching the 30-point threshold for the third time over his last four outings and for the 10th time this season. He also tied his season high in triples made and secured his 32nd game with a double-double or better on the campaign. Additionally, the 23-year-old center dominated on the defensive end, chipping in at least three combined steals-plus-blocks for a fourth straight game.

Watson will start Sunday versus the Warriors.

Watson is getting the spot-start with Aaron Gordon (calf) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Cameron Johnson and Nikola Jokic. As a starter this season, Watson owns averages of 17.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.8 triples, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks per contest.

McBride exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Thunder due to an apparent groin issue, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

Making his return from a 28-game absence during which he underwent sports hernia surgery, McBride dove for a loose ball in the third quarter and appeared to grab at his groin area before limping to the locker room. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Richard (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Richard will be held out of Sunday's contest due to left heel soreness, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday against the Spurs. With the rookie second-rounder sidelined, Pat Spencer, LJ Cryer and Gary Payton are candidates to see increased playing time.

Bridges notched 14 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Sunday's 114-99 loss to the Celtics.

Bridges was Charlotte's leading scorer through the first half of action, but the Celtics held him to just four points over the second half. The 27-year-old forward has struggled to make much of an impact over the past four games, posting modest averages of 12.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists per contest.
