On-Court Discipline & Player Status

The league office continued to address on-court conduct after Sixers center Andre Drummond was fined $25,000 for making a gesture resembling a shooting motion toward the opposing bench during a recent contest. This disciplinary action followed a volatile Sunday night matchup where Jaylin Williams of the Thunder and Justin Champagnie of the Wizards were both ejected late in the first half of Oklahoma City's 132-111 victory following a physical altercation, showcasing the league's focus on controlling player confrontations. Meanwhile, the injury slate saw mixed updates, with Warriors superstar Stephen Curry progressing toward live contact in practice after being ruled out for the next two games, though the timeline remains day-to-day for his return.

Team Injury Updates & Roster Movement

Several teams navigated significant absences, including the Washington Wizards confirming that point guard Trae Young remains sidelined indefinitely due to a pair of undisclosed injuries, leaving the team without its primary playmaker. In contrast, the Denver Nuggets expected the return of forward Peyton Watson on Sunday against the Trail Blazers after he missed over six weeks nursing a hamstring strain, providing a boost to Denver's playoff positioning. Off the court, legal matters surfaced as Luka Dončić filed documents seeking dismissal of a petition initiated by his ex-fiancée that requested child support payments and coverage for attorney fees, according to sources familiar with the situation.
