Post (foot) is questionable for Friday's game in Detroit.

Friday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so there's a chance that Post will get hit with a maintenance day. If he is forced to the sidelines, Omer Yurtseven could see an expanded role in the rotation.

Clowney (wrist) won't play Friday versus the Knicks.

Clowney injured his wrist during Wednesday's loss to the Thunder and will now sit out Friday's game, which should open up minutes for Danny Wolf, Chaney Johnson and Josh Minott. Clowney's next chance to play will come Sunday in Sacramento, but with that game being the first of a back-to-back, he should be considered highly questionable for that one.

Williams (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Williams is battling left foot soreness, which is jeopardizing his status for Friday. Rookies Danny Wolf and Drake Powell would have a clearer path to playing time if Williams cannot play.

Saraf is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks with left foot soreness.

Saraf is likely to end a one-game absence with the injury. The rookie first-rounder is beginning to flash some of his potential, scoring at least 10 points and handing out at least four dimes in four consecutive appearances.

An MRI confirmed a left hamstring strain for Porter, and he will be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks.

In three weeks from today's date, the Nets will have only three games remaining on their schedule, so there's a decent chance we won't see Porter in uniform again this season. Danny Wolf, Josh Minott and Ziaire Williams (foot) will likely help fill the void while Porter is out.

Monk (ankle) is available for Thursday's game versus the 76ers.

Monk is set to return from a four-game stint on the sidelines, and with Nique Clifford (hamstring) out, Monk could see increased minutes. The 28-year-old guard is averaging 12.6 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 triples per game this season.

Clifford is out for Thursday's game against the 76ers due to left hamstring soreness.

Clifford is sitting out for the first time since October. The rookie swingman can be viewed as day-to-day prior to Sunday's tilt versus the Nets. Malik Monk is a candidate to join the starting lineup Thursday, and Doug McDermott should stick around in the rotation as well.

Embiid (oblique) is out for Thursday's game against the Kings.

Embiid continues to recover from a right oblique strain. Saturday's tilt in Utah marks his next chance to play. The center minutes should be divvied up among Andre Drummond and Adem Bona on Thursday.

Gueye (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Hawks' 135-120 win over the Mavericks.

Gueye had played at least four minutes in each of the Hawks' last 14 games, but with Atlanta having all of its key players available Wednesday, the third-year big man ended up dropping out of the rotation. He'll likely need at least one of Onyeka Okongwu, Jalen Johnson, Jonathan Kuminga or Jock Landale to miss time before recapturing a meaningful role off the bench.

Markkanen is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks with a right hip impingement.

The All-Star forward hasn't appeared since the Feb. 23 loss to Houston, and the Jazz haven't provided an update on his health since Feb. 26. Until he's re-evaluated, Markkanen can be labeled as week-to-week moving forward.
