  • Jaylen Wells SF | MEM

    Grizzlies' Jaylen Wells: Ruled out Saturday

    Wells (toe) won't play in Saturday's game against Chicago.

    Wells will miss his third consecutive game. With Cam Spencer (back) and Taylor Hendricks (thumb) also on the injury report, Cedric Coward and Rayan Rupert may see increased minutes Saturday.

  • Gary Trent Jr. SF | MIL

    Bucks' Gary Trent: Hops into starting lineup

    Trent is part of the first five for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

    Trent will make his first start since Dec. 18, replacing AJ Green at the shooting guard spot. Trent has been in and out of the rotation in recent weeks, but he's been a significant contributor since the start of Kevin Porter's most recent stretch of absences (March 19). In the four games since, Trent is averaging 8.8 points while shooting 40.0 percent from three-point range across 22.5 minutes.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Not starting Saturday

    Sims won't start Saturday's game against San Antonio.

    Sims started the last two games, but he will head back to the bench with Myles Turner (calf) available. Still, with the Bucks down Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) and Bobby Portis (wrist), Sims should continue to see meaningful minutes off the bench.

  • AJ Green SG | MIL

    Bucks' AJ Green: Out of starting lineup

    Green is not in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Spurs on Saturday.

    Green will shift to the bench for Saturday's game while Gary Trent enters the starting five. Green has come off the bench in seven of his last 11 outings, and over that span, he has averaged 6.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 threes over 21.3 minutes per game.

  • Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Starts on-court work

    Stewart (calf) has been cleared to resume on-court basketball activities, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Stewart has been battling a strained left calf for nearly two weeks, and he's finally been cleared to begin on-court activities. A return for the 24-year-old doesn't seem imminent, but a return before the postseason seems possible.

  • Bucks' Thanasis Antetokounmpo: Won't suit up Saturday

    Antetokounmpo (calf) is listed as out for Saturday's game against San Antonio.

    Antetokounmpo has averaged only 5.1 minutes per contest in March, so his absence won't have much of an impact on the Bucks' rotation.

  • Anthony Black SG | ORL

    Magic's Anthony Black: Still out

    Black (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Toronto.

    Black has been sidelined since March 7 due to an abdominal strain, and he'll remain out Sunday. Considering he continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff, it doesn't seem like he is close to returning.

  • Gary Harris SG | DET

    Bucks' Gary Harris: Ruled out versus Spurs

    Harris (personal) is listed as out for Saturday's game against San Antonio.

    There appeared to be a chance Harris would be back for this one after missing the last three games. However, after sitting out with a groin injury, his absence will be extended on Saturday due to personal issues. Harris hasn't been a reliable contributor for the Bucks this season. Still, without him, Gary Trent and Andre Jackson should each see a few more minutes of action.

  • Franz Wagner SF | ORL

    Magic's Franz Wagner: Won't play Sunday

    Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    Wagner will end up missing a 20th consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain, but he has been ramping up his activities and was recently cleared to practice with the Osceola Magic in the G League. He's not quite ready to return, but his next chance to do so is Tuesday against the Suns.

  • Taj Gibson PF | NO

    Grizzlies' Taj Gibson: Unlikely to face Bulls

    Gibson is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to right foot soreness.

    Gibson's foot soreness has been a nagging issue, and it's likely to prevent him from suiting up in the tail end of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set. The veteran center has appeared in seven games with Memphis this season, averaging 9.3 minutes. His absence would likely leave center duties to Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks (thumb).
