Williams (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Williams did not play for the Santa Cruz Warriors in Friday's G League game against the Texas Legends and last saw NBA-level action March 21 against the Hawks. He'll be eligible to play in five of the Warriors' final eight games of the regular season.

Post (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver.

Post has missed three straight games due to right foot injury management, though the questionable tag is a step in the right direction. If Post is able to play, Omer Yurtseven and Malevy Leons could see fewer opportunities.

Melton (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Denver.

Melton didn't play Friday versus Washington. However, he was unavailable for maintenance purposes, so it appeared likely he would be back for this one. With Melton back in the mix, Will Richard (heel), who got the start against the Wizards, will presumably head back to the bench, assuming he can shed his questionable designation and suit up.

Curry (adductor) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver.

Curry has missed Golden State's last eight games with a left adductor strain, though the questionable tag suggests he can be considered day-to-day moving forward. However, the veteran guard isn't guaranteed to see significant burn when he's cleared to play.

Grimes won't start Saturday's game against the Hornets, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

With Tyrese Maxey (finger) back in the lineup following a 10-game absence, Grimes will retreat to the second unit. Over six appearances off the bench since the All-Star break, the 25-year-old guard has averaged 12.2 points, 2.5 assists and 2.2 rebounds across 26.3 minutes per tilt.

Oubre (elbow) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Oubre will officially be back in action for the first time since March 10 after recovering from a sprained left elbow. He started each of his 23 outings prior to his prolonged absence but will come off the bench in his return. The Sixers will roll with a starting five of Tyrese Maxey (finger), VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid.

Newell has been recalled from the G League and will be available for the Hawks' game against Sacramento on Saturday.

Newell rejoins the Hawks after a brief G League stint. With Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Onyeka Okongwu (finger) out, and with Jock Landale (shoulder) questionable, Newell could be part of the rotation Saturday night. The rookie big man hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Feb. 26.

Nesmith (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against Miami.

Nesmith has been battling lower-back soreness, although it didn't stop him from suiting up for Friday's loss to the Clippers. If he doesn't play Sunday, there are several directions head coach Rick Carlisle can go regarding the starting lineup, considering the Pacers' lengthy injury report. However, his absence could directly result in more action for Ben Sheppard and Quenton Jackson.

Maxey (finger) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Maxey will shed his questionable tag and return from a 10-game absence due to a tendon injury in his right pinkie finger. The star point guard's return will leave fewer minutes available for guys like Cameron Payne, Justin Edwards and Quentin Grimes. Over nine appearances since the All-Star break, Maxey has averaged 29.3 points, 6.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 3.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 36.2 minutes per game, though it's unclear if he'll see a full workload during his return.

Toppin is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to lower-back soreness and right foot injury management.

Toppin was initially deemed questionable due to the back issue ahead of Friday's loss to the Clippers, though he was cleared to play for a fourth straight game. If the 28-year-old power forward is held out of Sunday's contest, Kobe Brown, Jalen Slawson and Micah Potter would be candidates to see increased burn, especially if Pascal Siakam (knee) is downgraded from questionable to out.
