Fantasy Impact: Bane may miss Saturday night's game due to an ankle injury. He's questionable to play right now, and his availability will depend on how he feels closer to game time. Expect more work for Scotty Pippin Jr. if the veteran is unable to suit up for Memphis.
Santi Aldama (ankle) will be out again for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Memphis will be shorthanded again on Saturday. They have several players listed as doubtful to play, and Aldama has already been ruled out, which comes as no surprise. Expect more work for Brandon Clarke and Scotty Pippin Jr. in a matchup against Golden State.
John Konchar (shoulder) has been added to the injury report for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Konchar is a new addition to the team's injury report, being listed as questionable to play on Sunday due to a shoulder injury. It remains to be seen if he will miss this game, but if he does, Scotty Pippen Jr. will be primed for more work in his absence.
Yuki Kawamura (shoulder) is doubtful to play in Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Kawamura is expected to miss another game on Saturday. He has been out for two games due to a shoulder injury, and it's likely that he will miss another game as he recovers. Fantasy managers shouldn't put much weight into his expected absence against Golden State.
Tyus Jones (illness) is now questionable for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Jones didn't come into Saturday with any injury designation, but he was recently added to the injury report due to an illness and will be questionable to play for the Suns. Grayson Allen will see an increase in minutes if Jones is unable to suit up against the Pacers.
Oso Ighodaro (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Ighodaro is now listed questionable to play in Saturday's game. He came down with an illness of some kind, and although it's presumed to be minor, it could cause him to miss a game or two. If that's the case, Mason Plumlee will be primed for a large workload against the Pacers.
Cade Cunningham (knee) is probable to play in Saturday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Cunningham is dealing with a minor knee injury right now, but he is expected to be able to play through it on Saturday night. Fantasy managers should have full confidence that he will be an elite fantasy option if he's available to play.

Fantasy Impact: Fontecchio has been out for two-straight games due to a personal issue of some kind, but he is questionable and may be able to make his return on Saturday. His return would mean slightly less work for Isaiah Stewart moving forward.
Cam Thomas (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: The Nets will be without Thomas on Saturday. He's dealing with a hamstring injury right now, and the team wants to err on the side of caution and let him sit out. Ziaire Williams and Keon Johnson will both see more work while Thomas is out.
Cameron Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: As expected, Johnson has been ruled out for Saturday's game. He was initially listed as doubtful to play, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised by his absence. Expect more work for Noah Clowney and Jalen Wilson against the 76ers.
Noah Clowney (hip) will play in Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Clowney missed Brooklyn's last game due to a hip injury, but he has recovered from it and will play in their game on Saturday. He likely won't be limited at all and projects to see more work than usual with Cameron Johnson (ankle) unavailable to play against Philadelphia.
Kawhi Leonard (knee) is planning to play in Saturday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Leonard has been out all season due to a knee injury, but it looks like he will be back in the lineup in the very near future. He was officially upgraded to questionable for Saturday night's game, and it is reported that he is planning on playing. His return will mean less work for Derrick Jones Jr. and Nicolas Batum moving forward.
Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) is unavailable for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Podziemski will be sidelined on Saturday. He's managing an abdomen injury right now, and the team will let him sit out while he recovers. Stephen Curry (knee) is also out for the Warriors, which will leave Dennis Schroder and Buddy Hield with more opportunites against Memphis.
Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is probable to play in Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Wiggins should be available to play for the Warriors on Saturday. He's listed on the injury report with a hamstring injury, but it isn't serious and he should be able to play through it. He will see more work than usual with Golden State missing several key players against the Grizzlies.
Stephen Curry (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Curry will miss Saturday night's game as part of the planned injury maintenance for his knee. He should be back in the lineup in the very near future, and until then, fantasy managers should expect more work for Dennis Schroder and Buddy Hield for the Warriors.
Gary Payton II (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: As expected, Payton will be out on Saturday. He's still battling a calf injury, and he needs more time to recover before he will be able to return to the court. Golden State will be missing several other key guards against Memphis, so Dennis Schroder and Buddy Hield will be primed for a lot of work for the Warriors.
Duncan Robinson (foot) will play in Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Robinson is dealing with a minor foot injury right now, but he has already been cleared to play in Miami's game on Saturday. He will suit up against the Jazz and should be in line for increased minutes with Jimmy Butler (suspension) set to be sidelined for the next seven games.
Josh Richardson (heel) is still out for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Richardson has already been out for close to two months due to a heel injury, so to no surprise, he will miss Saturday's game as well. The timetable for his recovery is unclear right now, and he remains squarely off of the fantasy radar for the foreseeable future.
Nikola Jovic (ankle) is available to play in Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: The Heat are listing Jovic on their injury report because of an ankle issue, but he has already been cleared to play for their matchup against the Jazz. Fantasy managers should expect more work for him for the foreseeable future with Jimmy Butler recently being suspended by Miami.
