Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will play on Thursday versus Minnesota. The veteran continues to appear on the injury report because of a sore ankle. Yet, he was able to suit up for Monday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, finishing with 18 points, 11 assists, two steals, and one block. With Cameron Johnson (back) ruled out, Russell should be one of the Nets' top producers on Thursday evening.

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (ankle) will miss the remainder of the year. He averaged 9.1 points and 3.9 rebounds this season, an improvement from the 2023-24 campaign. Unfortunately, Clowney was limited to 46 games, mostly due to bilateral ankle issues. With the Nets looking to bolster the roster heading into next season, it's unknown how Clowney will fit into the rotation. However, outside of his injury woes, he appears to be trending in the right direction regarding his development. As a result, dynasty managers shouldn't accept any low-ball offers for the 20-year-old. In the meantime, Trendon Watford should see more minutes moving ahead.

Washington Wizards guardJordan Poole(elbow) is unavailable for Thursday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 25-year-old will be sidelined for the first time since March 5 due to an elbow issue. Poole played on Wednesday against the Kings and posted 23 points, two rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes. His next chance to play is Sunday against the Boston Celtics. Marcus SmartandBub Carringtonwill likely absorb most of the available minutes in the backcourt this evening.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (hand) is available for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. The 23-year-old has been bothered by a contusion on his right hand, which has undoubtedly impacted his shooting numbers of late. It's unknown how much action Barnes will continue to receive heading toward the end of the 2024-25 campaign. But as far as Thursday night is concerned, the absences of Gradey Dick (knee), Jakob Poeltl (rest), and Immanuel Quickley (rest) should keep Barnes busy on both ends of the floor.

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (ankle) won't play against the Orlando Magic on Thursday. George will be out of action for the sixth consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle. The 21-year-old rookie has played in 64 games this season, averaging 8.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 assists across 26.8 minutes per contest. While George is sidelined, Justin Champagnie will likely take on extra minutes after finishing with eight points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block during 30 minutes of work against the Kings on Wednesday.
