Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) is now in a walking boot. The 2020 No. 6 overall pick has missed the last two games because of a sprained left toe. He'll be re-evaluated in the next two weeks to see where he's at in the recovery process. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him on the floor anytime in the near future. It's a tough blow for Okongwu, who has averaged a career-high 10.2 points with 7.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks this season. But until he returns to the lineup, Clint Capela should continue to hold things down underneath the basket. Additionally, De'Andre Hunter, amassing 21.5 points per game without Okongwu active during the 2023-24 campaign, may continue to see an uptick in fantasy production.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) remains out for Saturday's showdown with the Detroit Pistons. The 25-year-old will now miss his second consecutive game because of his nagging left knee injury, the same one that's him kept off the floor for 35 games throughout the 2023-24 campaign. Of course, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are Orlando's top offensive options. But Cole Anthony has averaged 14.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists this season when Fultz doesn't play, so he's worth adding to all fantasy lineups.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) appears ready to make his debut for his new squad, with the team listing him as probable for Saturday's matchup against Orlando. Grimes missed the end of his stint in New York with a right knee issue, and the injury has also delayed his debut in Motown. However, it looks like he will be good to go this weekend. The 23-year-old has been largely ineffective in 2023-24 due to poor shooting, and it's unclear how big of a role he will have on the Pistons team, with Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey running the backcourt.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert said he sprained his ankle in Friday's contest against Milwaukee but isn't overly worried about the injury. The French giant logged 38 minutes in a 112-107 loss and finished with 12 points, 19 rebounds, and two blocks. It looks like Gorbert feels ready to go on Saturday when the T-Wolves complete a back-to-back set against the Nets, but fantasy managers will need to keep a close eye on official lineup news. Naz Reid would be in line for a boost in playing time without Gobert.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro couldn't complete Friday's game against New Orleans after hurting his left knee. Herro finished the contest with 15 points, six rebounds, three assists, and one block in 31 minutes. Luckily, he appears to have avoided a serious injury. Herro said postgame: "I think structurally everything was good. No major, even minor damage. I think everything is good. It kind of just scared me more than anything." Herro was on the injury report with a right foot problem before Friday's action, so he's currently quite a bit banged up. But with the Heat having the weekend off, the talented guard gets some extended rest, which will hopefully help him get healthy.
