Toppin (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Toppin sat out Friday's 145-125 loss to the Heat due to the back issue, and with Sunday's game being the first of a back-to-back set, he may need to spend at least one more game on the sidelines. If he's out, Jarace Walker and Kobe Brown would likely see a bump in minutes.

Brown (rest) is out for Sunday's game in Indiana.

Brown will skip the first leg of this upcoming back-to-back set, but he should return for Monday's game in New York. With Brown inactive, there will be more minutes available for Nolan Traore, Terance Mann and Keon Ellis.

Robinson (rest) is questionable for Sunday's game in Orlando, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Sunday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Robinson might get scheduled for a maintenance day. If he's forced to the sidelines, Neemias Queta would likely start, and Luka Garza could see a bump in minutes.

Santos (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Santos is expected to continue to push through the pain with his knee issue. He's averaging 7.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game this season.

Green (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Green will sit out the first leg of this back-to-back set, but he should return for Monday's game against the Suns. Graham Ike, Al Horford and Charles Bassey will help pick up the slack with Green inactive Sunday.

Curry (rest) won't play Sunday against the Clippers, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Sunday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Curry will receive a maintenance day, but he should return for Monday's meeting with the Suns. De'Anthony Melton could draw the start sans Curry, and Brandin Podziemski will be more involved in the offense.

Castle (migraine) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Castle is a late addition to the injury report, so his status will be worth monitoring closely ahead of Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff. Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson figure to be the top candidates to enter the Spurs' starting lineup if Castle is not cleared to play.

Castle is questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to a migraine.

The Spurs will likely want Castle to get through his pregame routine before an official decision is made on his status for Saturday's game, so he'll likely be a game-time call. If Castle is out, Julian Champagnie would likely draw the start, and both De'Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper would see an uptick in usage.

Green will come off the bench Saturday against the Trail Blazers.

Green started in Wednesday's 117-111 loss to the Spurs with Lauri Markkanen (wrist) unavailable, but Markkanen is back and starting Saturday, so Green will shift back to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, Green is averaging 3.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 14 minutes per contest.

Thomas (foot) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Saturday's meeting in Milwaukee.

Thomas missed Thursday's 114-111 loss to the Hawks due to a foot injury, but he'll be back in action Saturday evening. In two games, Thomas is averaging 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers per contest.
