MILWAUKEE -- Finding something Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn't done yet in his career may be even more difficult than trying to guard him. The Toronto Raptors couldn't do the latter on Sunday night in the Milwaukee Bucks' 118-111 win, and as a result Antetokounmpo did the former. Antetokounmpo finished with 22...

Ayton (groin) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Thunder, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Windler had 20 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and a block across 37 minutes in Saturday's win over Long Island.

Windler is averaging 9.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game across nine regular-season contests.

Markkanen (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings, Utah beat writer Ryan Miller reports. Markkanen missed a game on March 5 with the back issue, and while he played in the next five games, it appears it's still giving him some trouble. He'll test how he's feeling at Monday's shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, that would open up minutes for Simone Fontecchio and Rudy Gay. Ochai Agbaji and Talen Horton-Tucker would also stand to see a bump in usage sans Markkanen.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Questionable Monday

Agbaji notched 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 victory over the Celtics. Agbaji put together a sold shooting performance, which was sorely needed amid Jordan Clarkson's (finger) absence. The highly-touted Kanasas product started the past eight games with mixed results, but Saturday's effort was the best stat line of the group. The slashing sharpshooter depends on success beyond the arc to pad his scoring, and although he's only shot 32.1 percent from downtown during his starting stint, his overall 3-point percentage in his rookie season is about four points higher.

Kelenic was lifted from Monday's Cactus League contest versus the Brewers with a possible injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. It's unclear what he's dealing with, but Kelenic was pinch-hit for in the third inning, indicating it's likely injury-related. He's been a standout this spring, batting .410 with four home runs and three stolen bases.

New York City, NY

Brunson (foot) is officially available for Saturday's game against Denver. Brunson was expected to play, barring a setback in pregame warmups, and he managed to get through the activities unscathed. He should be expected to regain his spot in the starting lineup following his three-game absence and be full-go. His return will likely knock Immanuel Quickley back to the second unit.

Philadelphia, PA

Joel Embiid continued his MVP push on Saturday night with another dominant performance in the Philadelphia 76ers' 141-121 win over the Indiana Pacers. Despite sitting out the entire fourth quarter because the game was out of hand, Embiid finished with 31 points, seven rebounds and seven assists on shooting 10 of 15 from the field.

Merrill delivered 20 points (5-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 39 minutes in Friday's win over Long Island. Merrill has been a steady contributor for the Charge this season and continues to play a significant role on offense every time he steps on the court. Merril should be a consistent double-digit scorer as Cleveland continues to make a late playoff push.

Alabama has suspended freshman defensive back Tony Mitchell following his arrest last week in Florida that resulted in drug and weapon charges. Mitchell, who is facing a charge of marijuana possession with the intent to sell and/or deliver, was driving a car with another man, Christopher Lewis, as the passenger when police detected the "odor of burnt marijuana" at a traffic stop, according to the Holmes County (Fla.) Sheriff's Office.

After letting go of Amari Cooper last offseason, the Dallas Cowboys reportedly dealt for a perimeter weapon on Sunday to line up opposite CeeDee Lamb; for eerily similar compensation. According to the NFL's official account, Dallas sent a 2023 fifth round pick and a 2024 6th round pick to the ...

Jackson posted 25 points (9-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and a block across 34 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over Texas. Jackson entered this game with just one double-double on the season, and there's no question this was his best performance of the campaign by a wide margin. Jackson has also scored at least 10 points in all but one of his last 11 outings.

Miami, FL

The Marlins reassigned Perez to minor-league camp Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. The Marlins' top pitching prospect won't be included on the Opening Day roster, but the 19-year-old right-hander remains a candidate to make his MLB debut in 2023 if he stays healthy and continues to excel at the upper levels of the minors. Perez was hit hard in spring training -- he surrendered nine earned runs, 14 hits and two home runs in 10.2 innings -- but his control was solid (10:2 K:BB) in his limited sample of action. Miami hasn't indicated whether Perez will return to Double-A Pensacola to begin the campaign or if he'll report to Triple-A Jacksonville.
