Report: POR, Robert Williams agree to 3-year deal

Smith is dealing with a left finger sprain that could keep him sidelined against Boston. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) still out and Tobe Awaka (ankle) questionable, the Bulls could turn to Zach Collins to handle substantial minutes at center.

Time Lord will sit out Thursday for a maintenance day, and Yang Hansen will be available to backup Donovan Clingan. Williams III’s next chance to take the court will come on Saturday against the Jazz.

Knueppel hasn’t made his 2026-27 debut due to a hamstring strain, but his assignment to Charlotte’s G League affiliate is encouraging. Knueppel could be nearing a return, and fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status moving forward.

Poole injured his ankle against the Nuggets on Wednesday, and given the quick turnaround, he’ll sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set. In his absence, Herb Jones and Benn Mathurin could take on expanded roles.

Tyson is a late addition to the injury report, which means he’s in danger of sitting out against Atlanta. If Tyson is ultimately ruled out, Sam Merrill and Mario Hezonja could see bumps in playing time.

With Rui Hachimura (quad) sidelined, the Clippers turned to Sanders to fill the void in the starting lineup. Beyond the steals, the production on Wednesday was limited. Sanders should only be rostered in extremely deep redraft leagues and dynasty leagues, even if Hachimura can’t play on Friday against the Timberwolves.

While Garland is shooting a respectable 46.3 percent from the field, turnovers have hurt his early-season value in nine-cat leagues. He committed five turnovers against the Lakers and is now averaging 5.8 per game. In four games, Garland has 26 assists and 23 turnovers. To be fair to Garland, he’s been playing through back tightness, according to Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue. And the hard fall he took on a layup attempt during the second half of Wednesday’s game didn’t help. Injuries have limited the Clippers’ rotation, and that may also explain Garland’s high turnover count.

Rostered in just 12 percent of Yahoo leagues, Jones is undervalued in category leagues. Against the Lakers, he recorded six “stocks” and shot 60 percent from the field. He’s now 10-of-18 from beyond the arc in four games. Will Jones sustain his current percentages from the field (57.6) and beyond the arc? Probably not. That said, he’s worth rostering while the Clippers await the returns of Brandon Ingram and Max Strus.

A double-digit scorer in each of his first three regular-season games, Wagler finished Wednesday’s defeat with his first 20-point game. The rookie took advantage of the foul line against the Lakers, scoring 10 of his 21 points at the charity stripe. However, Wagler continues to struggle from the field, shooting 31.6 percent. The good news for fantasy managers is that he’s found other ways to provide value, making him a player worth rostering for those willing to take the field-goal percentage hit.

After totaling 21 points in the Lakers’ first three games, Mamukelashvili has hit double figures in each of his last two. Against the Clippers, his perimeter shot wasn’t falling, as he missed all five three-point attempts. But Mamu was 6-of-10 from two, and he did a little of everything else. Despite the bench role, Mamukelashvili is worth rostering in deep leagues.
