    Jazz's John Collins: Evades concussion
    24m ago

    Collins avoided a concussion but suffered a head contusion during Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    This is positive news for the Jazz, as it means Collins will have a chance to play in Oklahoma City on Wednesday. The trainers will likely re-evaluate the big man Tuesday morning to get a better idea of what his availability looks like for later in the week.

    Jazz's John Collins: Enters concussion protocol
    45m ago

    Collins is being evaluated for a concussion and will not return to Monday's game against Minnesota.

    Collins was visibly shaken up after attempting to contest an Anthony Edwards' dunk-of-the-year submission. His next opportunity to take the court comes Wednesday versus Oklahoma City, but his status for the remainder of the week could be entirely determined by if he is concussed. In his stead, Walker Kessler is likely due for more minutes, while Luka Samanic could re-enter the rotation and the versatility of Taylor Hendricks may be leaned on.

    Lakers' Christian Wood: Headed for surgery
    1h ago

    Wood is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and will remain out for several weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    This latest development is more bad news for the Lakers, as it seems unlikely that Wood will be cleared for game action before the regular season draws to a close. However, the team will evaluate the 28-year-old after the procedure to get a better idea of the timeline for his recovery.

    Collins went to the locker room during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Timberwolves with an apparent face injury, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

    Kings' Kevin Huerter: Out with shoulder injury
    1h ago

    Huerter will not return to Monday's game against Memphis due to a left shoulder injury.

    Huerter was fouled so hard by Desmond Bane that his left shoulder appears to subluxate/dislocate in the air -- although it was an inadvertent play and normal transition foul from Bane. No official diagnosis has been published by Sacramento yet, but Huerter's night is done.

    Huerter exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against Memphis after suffering an arm injury, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    Huerter was fouled in transition and immediately crumpled to a heap under the basket after taking a smack to the arm. It's unclear if his wrist or shoulder suffered more of the blow, but Huerter went straight to the locker room, visibly in pain.

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Won't return Monday
    1h ago

    Reid has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Jazz due to a head injury, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

    This is a significant loss for the Timberwolves, as the team is also without Rudy Gobert (rib) Monday evening. It'll be up to Luka Garza and Leonard Miller to step up at center the rest of the way.

  • Anthony Davis LAL C
    Lakers' Anthony Davis: Good to go Monday
    2h ago

    Davis (eye) is active Monday versus Atlanta, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Davis exited Saturday's loss to Golden State after 12 minutes upon suffering a corneal abrasion, but the team has been consistently optimistic on his status and he went through his typical warm-up procedure Monday, so he should be unrestricted in Monday's outing. LeBron James (ankle) has also been cleared for action Monday, bringing the Lakers' current rotation to full strength.

  • Kristaps Porzingis BOS C
    Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Solid output in limited minutes
    2h ago

    Porzingis (hamstring) generated 20 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 21 minutes Monday in the Celtics' 119-94 win over the Pistons.

    The Celtics held Porzingis more than eight minutes under his season-long average of 29.8 minutes per contest in his return from a five-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, but the big man didn't need a full workload to turn in a strong fantasy line against the 12-56 Pistons. Because Boston now holds a 10-game advantage over Milwaukee for the top record in the Eastern Conference, Porzingis and the team's other key rotation players could be subject to occasional rest days and/or lightened minutes loads over the final month of the regular season as the coaching staff prioritizes health for the postseason. If that's the case, Porzingis should remain productive whenever he's available play, albeit with a lower nightly fantasy ceiling than he had earlier in the season.

    Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Won't return Monday
    3h ago

    Stewart has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game due to right hamstring soreness, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports. He finished with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist.

    Taj Gibson started the second half in place of Stewart, who appeared to suffer the injury at some point late in the second quarter. The Pistons are classifying Stewart's injury as soreness, but he could be sent in for further imaging Tuesday if the team is concerned that he might be dealing with a strain. His absence for the rest of Monday's contest with leave Detroit shorthanded at forward, as Simone Fontecchio (toe) and Ausar Thompson (illness) had already been ruled out heading into the game.

  • Lauri Markkanen UTA PF
    Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Cleared to play
    5h ago

    Markkanen (quadriceps) is available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

    Markkanen was tagged as a game-time call leading up to Monday's tipoff, but he's ultimately been given the green light to suit up after missing his team's last six contests. It's possible the Arizona product could be on a minutes restriction considering he hasn't seen live action since Mar. 2.

  • Kyle Kuzma WAS PF
    Wizards' Kyle Kuzma: Now questionable for Tuesday
    5h ago

    Kuzma is questionable to play Tuesday versus Houston due to left shoulder soreness.

    Kuzma's left shoulder soreness sidelined him during Sunday's loss to Boston, but he appeared to be past the issue prior to being added back to the injury report Monday. His status will need to be monitored for a Washington squad that ruled Bilal Coulibaly (wirst) out for the season Monday and that will also be without Deni Avdija (knee), Tyus Jones (back), Marvin Bagley (back) and Landry Shamet (calf) on Tuesday.

    Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Out Monday as expected

    Grant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

    As expected, Grant has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a fourth straight game. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Clippers, but it's unclear how close he is to playing again.

    Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Ruled out

    Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers.

    As expected, Wade has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a fourth straight game. With Max Strus (knee) and Evan Mobley (ankle) also out, the Cavaliers have signed Marcus Morris to a 10-day deal, and he should serve as a backup to Georges Niang on Monday.

    2h ago

    James (ankle) will play Monday versus Atlanta, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    James will suit up for his fourth consecutive contest Monday, and he enters averaging 29.0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 38.7 minutes across his last three appearances. The 39-year-old dropped 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in a Jan. 30 loss to Atlanta -- representing the only other meeting between these two teams this season.

  • Matisse Thybulle POR SF
    Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Aggravates right ankle
    2h ago

    Thybulle has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Bulls after exiting in the second quarter with a right ankle injury. He posted zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and no other statistics in five minutes.

    Thybulle had missed the Trail Blazers' previous game Saturday versus the Pelicans due to a right ankle sprain, so he seemingly aggravated the injury in his return to action. Given the recurring nature of the injury as well as the Trail Blazers' status as a non-contender at this stage of the season, Thybulle could be headed for another absence Wednesday versus the Clippers.

    Williams (knee) won't play Monday against Sacramento.

    Williams was tagged as doubtful leading up to Monday's matchup, and the team has now officially ruled him out. Look for Jake LaRavia, John Konchar and GG Jackson to continue to see an uptick in opportunities in the frontcourt with Williams unavailable.

    Anderson (shoulder) has been cleared to play Monday night against Utah.

    Anderson was once again handed a questionable designation leading up to Monday's matchup, and he'll ultimately be able to suit up. He's started four straight for the Timberwolves and is averaging 6.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 6.3 assists in 30.8 minutes during this brief stretch.

  • OG Anunoby NY SF
    Knicks' OG Anunoby: Set for multi-game absence
    4h ago

    Anunoby (elbow), who has been ruled out for Monday's contest at Golden State, is expected to miss additional time, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    While Anunoby's timeline for a return remains murky, Wojnarowski relays that the forward will likely miss more than just one game while dealing with a flareup of his right elbow injury. At this stage, Anunoby should be viewed as doubtful for the Knicks' next game Thursday in Denver, though head coach Tom Thibodeau said the team received positive news earlier Monday, when an MRI on Anunoby's elbow came back clean, per Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com.

  • Oshae Brissett BOS SF
    Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Retreats to bench
    5h ago

    Brissett will come off the bench for Monday's game against Detroit, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Boston will experiment with a Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kornet starting frontcourt Monday. The duo of bigs is an interesting pairing, but it's more logical in the context of facing a Detroit frontcourt featuring Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren.

    Robinson will be considered day-to-day until more information on the severity of his injury comes to light. Patty Mills and Jaime Jaquez could see more chances Wednesday against Cleveland if Robinson is forced to miss additional time.

    Goodwin has suited up in three of the Grizzlies' past five contests, averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 25.0 minutes per game. He's nearing his season limit for the number of games that he's able to be active as a two-way player, so Goodwin could be in store for additional absences over the final month of the season.

    Haliburton was subbed out with a few minutes remaining in the first half and immediately went to the locker room, but the team has yet to reveal any details on his departure. T.J.
