Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) will make his return to action for Saturday's contest versus San Antonio.

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Pat Connaughton (groin) has been given the green light to return to action for Saturday's contest versus Cleveland, ending his absence at three games.

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal has been deemed a close COVID-19 contact of Boston's Jayson Tatum, ruling him out for Saturday's game versus Miami as a part of the league's health and safety protocols.

Dawson Knox Snags Touchdown

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox did not see many targets during Saturday's playoff victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He hauled in two of his three targets for five yards and one touchdown.
