Jaylin Williams PF | OKC
Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Not returning Sunday
Williams won't return to Sunday's game against the Clippers due to right wrist soreness, Nick Crain of SLAM reports.
The Thunder will be shorthanded in the frontcourt for the rest of the game since Williams sees plenty of minutes as Isaiah Hartenstein's backup at center. He went scoreless (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and didn't record a single stat in five minutes. His status should be considered questionable for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday against the Suns.

Cason Wallace SG | OKC
Thunder's Cason Wallace: Won't return Sunday
Wallace (shoulder) will not return to Sunday's game against the Clippers, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
Wallace exited for the locker room with an apparent left shoulder injury during the first quarter and will not be able to return. Jared McCain and Ajay Mitchell figure to see expanded roles with Wallace out. The Thunder play the second half of their back-to-back set Monday against the Suns, so it wouldn't be surprising for Wallace to miss time.

Karim Lopez SF | MEM
Grizzlies' Karim Lopez: Won't play Sunday
Lopez (knee) is out for Sunday's game in Sacramento.
Lopez is dealing with a bone bruise in his right knee, so it wouldn't be shocking if this turned into a multi-game absence for the rookie. That said, he has not been in the rotation this season, so this injury won't impact Memphis' game plan.

Cedric Coward SG | MEM
Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Available to play Sunday

Joe went back to the locker room due to an apparent tailbone injury, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.

Ivica Zubac C | IND
Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Won't return Sunday
Zubac (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Nets.
Zubac left the game in the first quarter after rolling his left ankle and will not be able to return.

Reed will enter the starting five due to Jalen Duren (hamstring) being out. Reed performed well during Friday's win over the Heat, logging 19 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench.
