Bagley (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Bagley has missed Dallas' last five games due to a neck sprain, though there's a chance he will return Sunday. If the big man is cleared to play, he's expected to operate as Daniel Gafford's primary backup ahead of Dwight Powell (calf).

Flagg (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Flagg has not suffered a setback with this being described as injury maintenance. He managed to average 28.0 minutes in Dallas' most recent back-to-back set, and now the team is contemplating a maintenance day.

Tyson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a neck strain.

The neck injury is a new concern for Tyson, who is in jeopardy of missing his first game since Nov. 19. If the second-year forward is cleared to suit up, he would likely remain in the starting five due to Jarrett Allen (knee) being sidelined. Tyson has averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 34.0 minutes per game in his last four outings (all starts).

Proctor has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Boston due to a right quadriceps strain.

It's unclear when Proctor picked up the injury, given that he was a healthy DNP for Tuesday's game against the Pistons. The rookie second-rounder has seen inconsistent playing time off the Cavaliers' bench this season, but his absence will result in more minutes being available for Keon Ellis and Craig Porter.

Wade (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against Boston.

Wade was able to practice Friday and is trending towards a return after three games on the shelf. With Jarrett Allen (knee) sidelined, the Cavaliers may need Wade to soak up a handful of minutes in the frontcourt.

Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Allen injured his right knee during the Cavaliers' win over the Pistons on Tuesday. The injury will sideline the veteran center for Sunday's contest, but he could return for the second leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set against the 76ers on Sunday. Thomas Bryant figures to be the top candidate to enter Cleveland's starting lineup in Allen's absence.

Mitchell (groin) is probable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

After missing the past four games for Cleveland, Mitchell is trending towards a return to action. Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so it will be interesting to see how the Cavaliers handle his minutes.

Walsh (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Walsh was sidelined for Friday's 120-100 win over the Mavericks due to an illness, but the third-year pro has recovered enough to return for Sunday's road tilt. His minutes were set to take a sizable hit due to the return of Jayson Tatum, but Walsh could still see some meaningful playing time for the next couple of weeks due to the absence of Nikola Vucevic (finger).

Black (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Timberwolves. He'll finish with zero points (0-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over two minutes.

Black will miss the rest of Saturday's game after straining his lower back early in the fourth quarter, and the injury puts him in jeopardy of missing the second leg of the Magic's back-to-back set against the Bucks on Sunday. Tristan da Silva started in place of Black for the second half of Saturday's contest.

Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Saturday that Thompson is considered "day-to-day" while he recovers from a right ankle sprain, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.

Thompson sprained the ankle during the first quarter of the Pistons' 121-106 loss to the Spurs on Thursday. He's since been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets, and with Bickerstaff noting that it's "going to be a minute" before Thompson plays again, the third-year forward looks safe to rule out through Sunday's road game against Miami. Kevin Huerter, Caris LeVert and Javonte Green are all candidates to enter the Pistons' starting lineup in Thompson's stead beginning with Saturday's game.
