Jakob Poeltl Diagnosed With MCL Sprain

Anthony Davis Game-Time Decision Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is now a game-time decision against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Paul Millsap Out Sunday With Ankle Sprain

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Millsap cannot catch a break as he has missed a total of 20 games coming into Sunday.

Serge Ibaka And Fred VanVleet Both Out Sunday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka (knee) and guard Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Denver Nuggets.
