Anthony Slater of The Athleticreports that despite Golden State Warriors forwardJonathan Kuminga(ankle)practicing on March 5th, there is still no timetable for his return. "He has to feel right. He has to feel healthy. He has to feel explosive. We can't rush that." Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said that regarding Kuminga. The 22-year-old hasn't played since January 4th due to a right ankle sprain. Golden State will be at home for six games in a row starting Monday against Portland, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on updates, as Kuminga could certainly return before the end of the week.


Philadelphia 76ers forwardKelly Oubre Jr.(ankle) won't suit up Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. Oubre joins a long list of 76ers players already out of action that includes Tyrese Maxey(back/finger),Joel Embiid(knee),Jared McCain(knee),Paul George(groin),Eric Gordon(wrist) andKyle Lowry(hip). Despite an ankle injury, the 29-year-old has only missed four games going into Monday. His next chance to get back in the lineup is Wednesday against the Raptors.


Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (knee) won't play on Monday in Brooklyn. The Lakers won eight-straight games before suffering a loss to the Celtics on Saturday night. Not only that, but the team saw LeBron James (groin) go down, with the multi-time All-Star anticipated to miss at least a few weeks. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Rui Hachimura (knee) are also out, and Luka Doncic (back) is questionable. But as far as the middle is concerned, Jarred Vanderbilt, who had four points, eight boards, and two steals versus Boston, will likely remain in the starting lineup. Vanderbilt isn't the most productive scorer on the planet. But he could get more involved if Doncic is ruled out.


According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat guard Alec Burks will be sidelined for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 33-year-old will miss his third straight game due to back soreness. Through 36 games this season, Burks has posted averages of 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 17.7 minutes per contest. Davion Mitchell, Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson will continue to see expanded roles this evening with Burks out of action.


According to Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta Hawks guardCaris LeVert(knee) won't playagainst the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. LeVert will be sidelined for the first time since being dealt to Atlanta on February 6th due to a left middle finger sprain. Despite the setback, the 30-year-old has fit in well with his new club, finishing with at least 20 points in four of the last five games. Terance MannandKeaton Wallacewill likely carry the team's backcourt with LeVert andTrae Young(quadricep) out of action this evening.
