Thanks for Tuning in!
Kyle Kuzma (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Kuzma made his season debut on Friday against the Mavs and played 19 minutes. He looked a little rusty, but the Lakers were happy to have him back. He'll likely see 15-20 minutes for the next few games before gradually ramping things up as he gets back into game shape.
Emmanuel Mudiay (left hamstring tightness) is out on Sunday against the Clippers.
Mudiay has been playing just under 20 minutes per game to start the season. With Dante Exum (knee) still out, Nigel Williams-Goss could see some time behind Mike Conley. Donovan Mitchell and Joe Ingles will also see the ball more with Mudiay out.
Ed Davis (fractured left fibula) will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
Further testing revealed a broken leg for Davis after he took some contact in Friday's game against the Kings. Tony Bradley, Georges Niang and possibly even Jeff Green will help soak up the backup center minutes for the Jazz over the next month-plus.
Maxi Kleber (sore right knee) is questionable vs. Cleveland on Sunday.
Besides getting dunked on by Alex Caruso and making a mistake on closing out on LeBron James in the final regulation play, Kleber looked fine in the OT loss. If he can't go, that would likely put Boban Marjanovic in the rotation.
Matt Dellavedova (personal) will not play on Sunday against the Mavs.
The Cavs gave Brandon Knight some minutes on Friday, but there's just no value there. Jordan Clarkson, Darius Garland and Collin Sexton will get the bulk of the minutes.
Wendell Carter Jr. (thumb) remains probable for Sunday's game against Indiana.
WCJ has been listed as probable for each of the last few games. He's healthy enough to keep playing, but possibly not quite 100 percent just yet. He's been playing great of late.
Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) is questionable for Sunday vs. the Kings.
This essentially means the Knicks aren't sure if DSJ will join the team in time for tip-off after dealing with the loss of a family member. Frank Ntilikina will start according to coach David Fizdale while Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will miss yet another game
Harry Giles (knee) is questionable for Sunday against the Knicks.
The Kings have been listing him as questionable this weekend, so this is nothing new.
Domantas Sabonis (left calf contusion) did not practice on Saturday and is a game-time call Sunday against the Bulls.
A calf contusion may have been due to contact on Friday night, but at least it's not a strain that sometimes can require weeks. Sabonis looked great on Friday with a career-high 17 boards against the Cavs, and the Pacers would absolutely need him with Myles Turner (ankle) out right now. If he can't go Goga Bitadze is going to get all he can handle, making him an interesting flier after his 10-point, four-block game on Friday.
Rajon Rondo listed out for Sunday.
Rondo remains out for Sunday's game vs. the Spurs as he continues to recover from a strained calf. Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is listed probable after making his season debut on Friday
Kyle Kuzma listed probable for Sunday.
Kuzma is listed probable to play on Sunday after making his season debut on Friday. Rajon Rondo (calf) is listed out and has yet to play this season.
Dennis Smith Jr. listed questionable for Sunday.
Smith Jr. has missed the past three games for personal reasons, and he's currently listed questionable prior to Sunday's game. Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is listed out once again, and Mitchell Robinson (finger) is available to play.
Lauri Markkanen expected to play Sunday.
Markkanen is dealing with a sore left side following Friday's win. He missed the final 10 minutes of the game after suffering the injury, but he was eventually cleared to return.
Dion Waiters available to play Sunday.
Waiters is available to make his season debut on Sunday against the Rockets. Jimmy Butler (foot) and Justise Winslow (back) are questionable, while Derrick Jones Jr. (groin) has been ruled out.
Justise Winslow is out, Jimmy Butler in, bump to Nunn and maybe Herro. Reminder that Dion Waiters should be active as well and will get some time
