  • Trail Blazers' Chris Youngblood: Available to play

    Youngblood (ankle) is available to play Saturday against the Jazz.

    While Youngblood will be available for Saturday's game, that doesn't mean he'll get on the court. He's yet to log a single minute for Portland this season.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Nursing back spasms

    Gobert (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at San Antonio.

    Gobert is a late addition to the injury report, so his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff. Joan Beringer would likely be the top candidate to enter the Timberwolves' starting lineup if Gobert is not cleared to play in the second leg of the team's back-to-back set.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Available to play

    Williams (knee) is available for Saturday's game in Utah.

    Williams is back after a one-game layoff, and he should see his usual minutes with the second unit. On the season, Williams is averaging 9.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.

  • Trail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Starting Saturday

    Henderson will move into the starting lineup for Saturday's game in Utah, Trail Blazers' reporter Sean Highkin reports.

    Henderson is replacing the injured Ja Morant (hamstring) in the first unit, so it'll be interesting to see how he fares with the increased opportunity. Per 36 minutes this season, Henderson is averaging 14.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 three-pointers per game.

  • Reed Sheppard SG | HOU

    Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Won't play Saturday

    Sheppard (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

    This will be Sheppard's second straight game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be viewed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics. Fred VanVleet (knee) will join Sheppard on the inactive list for Saturday's game, paving the way for Marcus Smart to start.

  • Fred VanVleet PG | HOU

    Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Ruled out for Saturday

    VanVleet (knee) won't play Saturday against the Thunder.

    It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so VanVleet will receive his standard maintenance day, but he should return for Monday's meeting with the Celtics. Reed Sheppard (back) is also out for Saturday's game, so Marcus Smart could draw the start at point guard, and Amen Thompson should see some increased playmaking responsibilities.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Not listed on injury report

    Sengun (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Thunder.

    Sengun is set to return after a two-game stint on the sidelines, likely prompting Clint Capela to head back to the second unit. Sengun has gotten off to a hot start this season, averaging 24.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.5 triples and 1.8 steals per game.

  • Jabari Walker PF | PHI

    76ers' Jabari Walker: Questionable for Saturday

    Walker (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game in Charlotte.

    Walker has missed the past three games for the 76ers, but this is the first time he's received the questionable tag since going down, which indicates progress. With LeBron James (rest) out, Walker could be in the rotation if he's cleared to play.

  • LeBron James PF | PHI

    76ers' LeBron James: Won't play Saturday

    James (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's meeting in Charlotte.

    James will rest on the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he should return for Monday's game against the Bulls. Dean Wade and Justin Edwards should see a bump in minutes with James inactive, while Tyrese Maxey figures to see a sizeable uptick in usage.

  • Tacko Fall C | PHI

    76ers' Tacko Fall: Questionable for Saturday

    Fall (quad) is questionable to face the Hornets on Saturday.

    Fall has yet to debut for the 76ers this season, but he might be able to get out there Saturday. With Joel Embiid (foot) out, Fall could be in the rotation if cleared to play.
