Donovan Mitchell - SIC score 35

Received a Platelet-Rich Plasma injection the first week of March for his left knee bone bruise - PRP injections require at least two weeks to take effect before he can ramp up on-court activity - a return in the final week of March would be good news with a more realistic return being early April.

Jalen Brunson - SIC score 67

MRI came back “clean” and he's considered day-to-day with a left knee contusion - out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks but has a chance to return for Friday's game against the Magic.

Devin Booker - SIC score 61

By video, suffered inversion right ankle sprain in Saturday's game - reportedly will miss until mid-March - has previous right ankle sprains which should allow him to recover quicker when he does retake the court.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - SIC score 72

Missed Monday's game against the Clippers with left Achilles tendinitis - issue can be managed but team likely to manage his rest the remainder of the season -slight chance to play Wednesday against the Warriors.

Russell Westbrook - SIC score 38

Underwent surgery on March 4 for spiral fracture in left hand he suffered in the March 1 game against the Wizards - surgery should speed up his recovery timeline, allowing for mobility earlier in the recovery process - will be back for playoffs with a potential return in early-to-mid April.

Scottie Barnes - SIC score 27

Underwent surgery on March 4 to address a spiral fracture to the third metacarpal bone in his left hand - chance to return before the end of the regular season but Toronto likely to play it safe with their star unless they can rejoin the playoff hunt.
