Cade Cunningham Probable For Sunday Afternoon

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is probable heading into Sunday's meeting with Orlando. Cunningham missed eight games because of a knee injury but returned for the January 27 matchup with the Washington Wizards. Since then, he's made routine appearances on the league's injury report. However, fantasy managers should count on the 22-year-old being available for the matinee against the Magic. Cunningham has logged at least 30 minutes in the three games making his way back to the court, so it doesn't appear his workload will be reduced moving ahead, which is undoubtedly a plus for fantasy participants.

Jarred Vanderbilt Could Miss Rest Of The Season

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) is expected to be sidelined "at least" a few weeks. However, the team will continue to consult with specialists, and it remains possible that he could miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. The 24-year-old is having a down season, currently averaging 5.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals. Unfortunately, he's had trouble staying on the floor and began the season by missing the first 20 games because of a heel injury. Yet, his most recent ailment, a foot injury suffered during Thursday's win over Boston, could mean the end of his season. At any rate, the Lakers may look to make some moves ahead of the trade deadline to fill the void. But if the team doesn't make a deal, Rui Hachimura and Christian Wood could fight for minutes moving ahead.

Lonzo Ball "Doing Much Better"

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) remains out after undergoing multiple surgeries over the last few years, including a cartilage transplant in March 2023. With nearly a year since the procedure, the 26-year-old is still without a return date. Ball provided an update on his health during Saturday's meeting with the Kings, reporting he's "doing much better." While still not running, he's pain-free, which is undoubtedly good news. For now, Ball will continue to rehab, with the hope of one day returning to the court. The 2017 No. 2 overall pick averaged 11.9 points, 6.2 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 252 regular season games. During his most recent campaign in 2021-22, he shot a career-high 42.3% from deep, a significant improvement from his rookie year. Although Ball is nowhere near ready to play, he's a capable fantasy producer. But his inability to stay healthy has been an issue since he entered the league.

Andrew Wiggins Suffers Foot Injury

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (foot) finished Saturday's overtime loss to Atlanta with two points and two blocks. Unfortunately, his night ended after 19 minutes because of a foot injury. Head coach Steve Kerr announced after the game that X-rays were negative. The 28-year-old also downplayed the injury, stating his foot "wasn't too bad," although the team will likely take things day-by-day, meaning his availability for Monday's game in Brooklyn is in jeopardy. If Wiggins can't suit up for that one, Brandin Podziemski, who had a double-double against the Hawks, would be the favorite to slide into the starting lineup.

Brook Lopez Ruled Out For Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran big man will miss this game due to personal reasons. Hopefully, everything is okay with Lopez and this will be a one-game absence. In the meantime, Robin Lopez will draw the start during Saturday's game. He doesn't have much upside outside of rebounding. Bobby Portis is the much better streaming option for Saturday's slate.
