Coulibaly (heel) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

The third-year forward has the green light to return from a two-game absence due to right retrocalcaneal bursitis. Coulibaly should take back a spot in the starting five, but his playing time could be volatile in a game in which the Wizards will be heavy underdogs. Over eight appearances in March, Coulibaly is averaging 15.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.1 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 29.6 minutes per contest.

Young (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Young will be sidelined for a third straight contest. At this point, it remains unclear if he will be able to return for the second leg of this back-to-back set Sunday against the Knicks. In the games that Young does play, he'll likely continue to see modest workloads.

Wagner (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Orlando hasn't yet clarified Wagner's timeline for a return with an ankle sprain. Barring any changes to his status, the star forward can be tentatively considered doubtful for future contests.

Isaac (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Isaac being ruled out is not a surprise, as the team has yet to provide a timetable for his return. He can be considered week-to-week for the time being.

Black (abdomen) is out for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

The Magic haven't yet clarified Black's timetable for a return with an abdominal strain. The guard can be tentatively deemed doubtful for future contests until that happens.

Carter (ribs) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Carter remains day-to-day after missing Thursday's game against the Hornets. If Orlando's starting center misses another contest, the Magic will likely lean on Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner.

Fontecchio (back) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Houston.

With Andrew Wiggins (toe) ruled out, Fontecchio would likely be squandering an opportunity to start if he's unable to play. Kel'el Ware could be in line for an expanded role Saturday.

Larsson is questionable for Saturday's game against Houston due to a bruised right foot.

The Heat may opt to have Larsson go through Saturday's pregame warmups before deciding on his status. If the swingman cannot give it a go, Simone Fontecchio (back) and Kasparas Jakucionis would both be likely to see more playing time head their direction.

Jaquez (hip) is out for Saturday's game against Houston.

Jaquez will miss his second straight game for Miami, and it's not a great sign that he's getting ruled out a day in advance -- he was previously listed as questionable ahead of his absence against the Lakers on Thursday. With a lengthy injury report in Miami, guys like Keshad Johnson and Myron Gardner might be more involved.

Wiggins (toe) is out for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Wiggins will be sidelined for an eighth straight game Saturday, and he remains without a timetable to return. Consider him questionable at best for Monday's game against the Spurs.
