Ivica Zubac

IND Center #40

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ivica Zubac (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Wizards.

Zubac is progressing in his recovery from a sprained ankle, but he may not return to game action anytime soon. And, given where the Pacers are in the standings, it would likely be in the team’s best interest to keep Zubac out for as long as possible. Jay Huff should remain in the starting lineup.

Matisse Thybulle

POR Guard-Forward #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Matisse Thybulle (thumb) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

Due to thumb and knee injuries, Thybulle has not been available for a game since October 29. However, the veteran wing could be available for Friday’s game against the Nuggets after fully participating in Thursday’s practice. While fantasy managers should not expect much from Thybulle, his defensive ability could make him worth a look in deep category leagues once he’s playing without any restrictions.

Kris Murray

POR Forward #24

Kris Murray (back) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

Due to a lumbar sprain, Murray has not appeared in a game since January 5. However, with the third-year wing practicing on Thursday, there’s a chance that he’ll be available for Friday’s game against the Nuggets. Given the time missed and the possibility that Matisse Thybulle will also be available, Murray is only worth rostering in dynasty leagues.

Pelle Larsson

MIA Guard #9

Pelle Larsson (elbow) is available for Friday’s game against the Hawks.

Larsson missed Miami’s final three games before the All-Star break with a right elbow contusion. He’ll be available on Friday, but a return to the starting lineup is not guaranteed. Tyler Herro (ribs) participated fully in Thursday’s practice and is listed as probable to play in what would be his first game since January 15.

Shaedon Sharpe

POR Guard #17

Shaedon Sharpe (calf) is out for Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Even with the All-Star break, Sharpe isn’t over his calf injury. The 22-year-old shooting guard is set to miss his fifth consecutive game Friday against the Nuggets. Jerami Grant should see increased usage and Scoot Henderson could see additional minutes too.

Norman Powell

MIA Guard #24
Norman Powell (back) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Hawks.

Powell missed Miami’s last two games before the All-Star break due to lower back tightness, and he’s back on the injury report for the same issue ahead of Friday’s matchup with the Hawks. Kel’el Ware moved into the starting lineup in those games, most recently recording a double-double in Miami’s February 11 win over the Pelicans.

Keshad Johnson

MIA Forward #16

Keshad Johnson (calf) did not practice on Thursday.

The slam dunk champion will still travel with the Heat for their game in Atlanta on Friday, so this doesn’t mean he will miss the game. However, he hasn’t been part of the rotation this season, so his status won’t impact much for Miami.

Tyler Herro

MIA Guard #14
Tyler Herro (ribs) was a full participant in practice on Thursday.

Herro has been sidelined since Jan. 15 and has played in just 11 games this season. However, he will travel with the Heat to Atlanta for their game on Friday and could return to the lineup, with the Heat officially listing Herro as probable. Pelle Larsson has been starting in his place and would return to the bench if Herro is back.

Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8
Grayson Allen (ankle) is questionable to play against the Spurs on Thursday.

Allen wasn’t initially on the injury report after missing the Suns’ final three games before the All-Star break with a knee injury. However, he may not be available due to an ankle injury. Both Devin Booker and Jalen Green will be back, and Amir Coffey may see a few extra minutes if Allen is out.

Dejounte Murray

NOP Guard #5
Pelicans coach James Borrego said he “expects in the next week [Dejounte Murray] will be back on the court playing NBA games.”

There haven’t been many updates on Dejounte throughout the year, though he was able to participate in parts of practice prior to the All-Star break. He won’t return to take on the Bucks on Friday, but he could play in one of the Pelicans four games next week. He has a fantasy-friendly game, but he will likely be incredibly limited in a lost season for New Orleans. Jeremiah Fears will have to give up some of his point guard minutes with Murray back.

Josh Giddey

CHI Guard #3
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is probable to play against the Raptors on Thursday.

Giddey, who missed Chicago’s final eight games prior to the All-Star break, is now expected to return to the lineup after initially being listed as questionable. They brought him off the bench in his return following his most recent extended absence, which could happen again in this game. That could allow Collin Sexton and Anfernee Simons to remain in the starting unit.
