Diakite sat out the G League's Cleveland Charge's game Saturday versus the Motor City Cruise due to a team-imposed suspension. It's unclear why Diakite was withheld from the Charge's final game of the regular season or whether he'll appear for the opening round of the G League playoffs. Diakite is one of the Cavaliers' two two-way players.

Okoro won't return to Sunday's game against Houston due to left knee soreness, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Okoro started Sunday's matchup and tallied four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and a rebound in nine minutes prior to departing in the first half. It's unclear whether his knee issue will prevent him from playing Tuesday in Atlanta.

Garza posted 47 points (19-26 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds and two steals in 40 minutes during Saturday's 133-121 loss to Lakeland. Garza led all players in Saturday's game in scoring and rebounds while finishing three points shy of the 50-point mark in a double-double performance. Garza averaged 31.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 blocks in six G League contests this season.

Reid ended with 23 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Sunday's 99-96 win over the Warriors. Reid made a significant impact during only 21 minutes of work. Sunday's game flow revealed a continuing correlation between Reid and Gobert, although the two shared the court for a few minutes in the second quarter. Karl-Anthony Towns' return seemed to have no bearing on Reid's usage, as the two shared the court frequently when Gobert took breaks. Reid was especially effective in the fourth quarter, scoring 10 points that included two three-pointers.

Staumont was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday. Staumont is a surprising omission from the Opening Day roster. He pitched to a 1.13 ERA and 10:5 K:BB across eight innings during Cactus League play, though the walk issues are a carryover from 2022. Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports manager Matt Quatraro told Staumont that he needs to work on getting ahead in counts. It's expected he'll be with the big club again at some point in the season, though the Royals boast bullpen depth that has been lacking in recent years.

The Rays optioned Chirinos to Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Chirinos will open the season in the minors after losing out to Josh Fleming in the competition for the No. 5 spot in the Rays' rotation. After missing most of the past two seasons while recovering from August 2020 Tommy John surgery, Chirinos reported to camp without any limitations but wasn't able to solidify a rotation spot after logging a 6.57 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB across 12.1 Grapefruit League innings.

Lamar Jackson’s contract standoff with the Baltimore Ravens shows no signs of ending, and Richard Sherman thinks the root cause goes back to two quarterbacks.

Queen recorded 29 points (14-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block in 39 minutes during Friday's 114-110 win over Delaware. Queen scored at least 20 points for a third straight game and is playing at a high level heading into the G League playoffs. Across 35 appearances, he's averaging 22.9 points per game.

Thomas (illness) will return to the lineup Saturday versus Anaheim. Look for Thomas to return to a featured role following his one-game absence, centering the top line and No. 1 power-play unit against the Ducks. The 23-year-old pivot has racked up 16 goals and 60 points through 67 contests this campaign.

Cowart signed a contract with the Chiefs on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Cowart is now slated to join the reigning Super Bowl champs this upcoming season following Friday's agreement. The 26-year-old spent this previous campaign operating as both a rotational defensive lineman and as a special-teams contributor as a member of the Colts.

Lafreniere had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over Florida. Lafreniere took a cross-ice pass from defender Jacob Trouba and fooled Radko Gudas forehand-backhand before beating Sergei Bobrovsky late in the second. He had gone eight games without any points, dating back to March 9 in Montreal. And it was Lafreniere's first assist since Feb. 11, a span of 20 games. He has 15 goals and 19 assists in 72 games, which is a slight bump from last season's 31 points, including 19 goals. Lafreniere's growth has been slow, but don't give up on him in dynasty formats.

Trae Young was ejected during Saturday's game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Indiana Pacers due to an incident that took place in the third quarter. With the game tied at 84 apiece, Young grew frustrated with the way the game was being called. He bounced the ball in frustration before chucking it at the official, drawing an immediate technical foul and ejection for the outburst.

Towns (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors. Towns played well in his return Wednesday against the Hawks, providing 22 points, four boards, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes. However, he's sore and may sit out Sunday. If that's the case, more minutes would be available for Taurean Prince, Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels.

When the Los Angeles Rams signed Bobby Wagner last offseason, Cooper Kupp was happy for two reasons. The team had signed the linebacker after his release from the Seattle Seahawks, which means that Kupp wouldn't have to play against Wagner in division games anymore. A year later, that has changed. ...

Lindgren (upper body) is day-to-day and won't play Saturday versus Florida, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports. Lindgren also sat out Thursday's 2-1 win over Carolina following his return to the lineup Tuesday from an 11-game absence. He has produced 18 points, 70 shots on goal, 88 blocks and 64 hits in 58 contests this campaign. Ben Harpur is slated to play Saturday.

Rangers' Ryan Lindgren: Unavailable against Panthers

Taylor was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday. Taylor, Josh Staumont and Richard Lovelady all fell short of making the Royals' Opening Day bullpen. After dealing with a back injury for all of 2022, Taylor will be focused on building up arm strength with Omaha to start the year, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Royals' Josh Taylor: Among roster cuts

Miranda (shoulder) will start at third base for the Twins during Saturday's Grapefruit League game versus Atlanta, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Miranda has been limited to designated hitter and, more recently, first base duties while coming back from a sore right shoulder, but he's finally ready to test things out from the hot corner. He's slated to see most of his playing time at third base during the regular season, although Miranda could be eased into the position in the early going.

Green contributed 30 points (10-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 108-91 loss to the Cavaliers. Green topped 30 points for the second time in his past three games, continuing what has been a nice stretch of offensive production. While supporting stats remain an issue, he has at least been able to do what he does best, which is score the basketball. In fact, he has been a top 85 player over the past two weeks, much improved from his season-long rank of 187. As long as efficiency and defense are not high on your list of priorities, Green remains a solid option, even in 12-team formats.

Rockets' Jalen Green: Drops game-high 30 points

Crawford is out of the lineup Friday after fouling a ball off his foot, SShannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. Crawford was scheduled to hit at the top of the otrder and play shortstop, but the infielder was scratched as a precaution. The 28-year-old is considered day-to-day, but at this point there's little reason to think he won't be ready to go for the regular season.
