Jabari Walker PHI PF76ers' Jabari Walker: Upgraded to standard contract
14h agoWalker agreed to a two-year, $3.35 million contract with the76ers on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Walker had been signed to a two-way deal with Philadelphia, but because he had exhausted his eligibility at the NBA level after he was active for the maximum 50 games, the 76ers upgraded him to a standard contract to ensure that he'll be available coming out of the All-Star break. Before using up his eligibility and not appearing in any of the 76ers' last four games, Walker had been a fringe member of the rotation. In his 45 appearances (six starts) so far this season, Walker averaged 3.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 12.1 minutes per game.
Keshon Gilbert WAS PGKeshon Gilbert: Heads back to open market
21h agoGilbert became a free agent Monday after his 10-day contract with the Wizards expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Prior to signing his 10-day pact with Washington on Feb. 6, Gilbert had been playing for the Wizards' G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go. The Wizards will have the option of retaining Gilbert on a second 10-day deal, but he'll likely stick around in the organization as a member of the Go-Go if he doesn't end up getting re-signed ahead of Washington's next game Thursday versus Indiana. The undrafted rookie out of Iowa State appeared in three games for Washington over the course of his deal, averaging 2.0 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 16.0 minutes while shooting 1-for-4 from the field and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe.
Giannis Antetokounmpo MIL PFBucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Deems self '100 percent'
22h agoAntetokounmpo (calf) said Saturday that he feels "100 percent" healthy, though he didn't confirm that he'll be cleared to play in theBucks' next game Friday in New Orleans. "I feel like the [All-Star] break doesn't help, because now I gotta get on the court, I gotta play some 1-on-1, 3-on-3, 5 vs. 5...Once I check all those boxes, I'm ready to go. I feel like I can play a game today."
Antetokounmpo has sat out the Bucks' last nine games after straining his right calf for the second time this season Jan. 23, but he told the media Saturday that his rehab is going well and suggested that he could be nearing a return. Though Milwaukee listened to trade offers on Antetokounmpo leading up to the Feb. 5 deadline, the 10-time All-Star ultimately stayed put and isn't expected to be shut down even while the 23-30 Bucks currently sit outside of a spot in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament. Based on his comments, Antetokounmpo appears poised to take part in practice in some capacity this week when the Bucks reconvene following the All-Star break. Even if he isn't cleared to play Friday, Antetokounmpo would still appear likely to make it back in action before the end of February.
Pascal Siakam IND PFPacers' Pascal Siakam: Posts 10 points at All-Star weekend
23h agoSiakam (hamstring) played 18 minutes Sunday at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles between Team World's losses to Team Stars and Team Stripes, finishing with 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists.
After coming off the bench in a 37-35 overtime loss to Team Stars in Team World's first contest of the round-robin tournament, Siakam entered the starting five for the second matchup of the day while Luka Doncic was rested after Doncic had missed the Lakers' last four games before the break due to a hamstring strain. Siakam -- who had missed thePacers' most recent game Wednesday versus the Nets due to a sore hamstring -- went a perfect 3-for-3 from the field during his start, but Team World was eliminated after falling 48-45 to Team Stripes. Though the hamstring isn't expected to be an issue for Siakam moving forward, he could still be in line for a rest day coming out of the All-Star break. The Pacers will open their second-half schedule with a Thursday/Friday back-to-back set in Washington.
Deni Avdija POR SGTrail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Limited output in All-Star debut
23h agoAvdija (back) played 15 minutes Sunday at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles between Team World's losses to Team Stars and Team Stripes, finishing with five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists and one rebound.
Avdija had missed theTrail Blazers' most recent game Thursday against the Jazz due to lower-back injury management, but the issue didn't prevent him from making his first career All-Star appearance. The 25-year-old forward started in both games for Team World but saw light usage while the offense ran through the Spurs' Victor Wembanyama. While playing in just six of the Trail Blazers' final 16 games prior to the All-Star break, Avdija had eclipsed 30 minutes on just one occasion. However, with some extra time to recover during the break, Avdija could have his minutes restriction lifted ahead of Portland's next game Friday versus the Nuggets.
Devin Booker PHO SGSuns' Devin Booker: Plays supporting role Sunday
23h agoBooker logged 28 total minutes Sunday across Team Stars' three games at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles, finishing with 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), nine rebounds and eight assists.
Booker started in all three games for the Stars, recording no more than five points in any contest while taking a back seat to backcourt mate and MVP Anthony Edwards (32 points on 13-for-22 shooting). Prior to All-Star weekend, Booker had missed theSuns' most recent game Wednesday versus the Thunder due to right ankle injury management, but he should be good to go for Phoenix's first contest of the second half Thursday in San Antonio.
Victor Wembanyama SA CSpurs' Victor Wembanyama: Valiant effort in All-Star Game
2d agoWembanyama recorded 19 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds across 10 minutes in Team World's 48-45 loss to Team Stripes in Game 3 of the All-Star Game tournament.
Wembanyama led his team in scoring in the decisive Game 3, but his missed three-point attempt at the buzzer sealed the loss. Wembanyama stood out in the team's opening contest as well, logging team highs of 14 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and three blocks. The star center came into All-Star Weekend averaging 26.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.5 steals in 29.3 minutes per contest over his last six regular-season appearances.
Karl-Anthony Towns NY CKnicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Wins Shooting Stars event
3d agoTowns and TeamKnicks defeated Team Cameron in the final round of the 2026 NBA All-Star Shooting Stars event Saturday.
Joined by Jalen Brunson and Allan Houston, Towns and his squad led the first round with 31 points to advance to the final against Team Cameron's Kon Knueppel, Jalen Johnson and Corey Maggette. Although Team Cameron opened the final round with 38 points, Team Knicks fired back with 47. Towns hit two of the team's five four-point shots en route to the victory. Towns and Brunson will now prepare to face off against one another in Sunday's Team World versus Team USA Stripes NBA All-Star Game.
Yanic Konan Niederhauser LAC CClippers' Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Adds 11 points in Rising Stars Game
3d agoNiederhauser tallied 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 10 minutes in Team Austin's 40-34 Rising Stars loss to Team Melo on Friday.
The rookie first-rounder suited up for the G League Rising Stars on Friday and led all players in scoring, albeit in a losing effort. Niederhauser also knocked down a three-pointer, which he has yet to do for theClippers this season. The 22-year-old center out of Penn State has averaged 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in just 9.0 minutes per game across 34 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. However, he has logged double-digit minutes in four of Los Angeles' last five outings and may continue seeing increased burn with Ivica Zubac (ankle) having been traded to the Pacers on Feb. 5.
Jaxson Hayes LAL CLakers' Jaxson Hayes: Looks good in Thursday's start
4d agoHayes had 16 points (8-10 FG), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 victory over the Mavericks.
Making his third start in the last four games while Deandre Ayton (knee) is on the mend, Hayes tied his season scoring high while setting new season highs in minutes and steals. The 25-year-old center is averaging 13.7 points, 5.0 boards, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.7 minutes over the last three contests, but his role is likely to shrink once Ayton is cleared to return.
Amari Williams BOS CCeltics' Amari Williams: Recalled to NBA
4d agoBoston recalledWilliams from the G League's MaineCeltics on Thursday.
Williams has rejoined the parent club after a solid G League performance in which he tallied 29 points, seven rebounds and five blocks against the Motor City Cruise. The center will now aim to earn a place in the first team's rotation, although he may not play a huge role, having made just two starts while averaging 2.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game at the NBA level in 2026.
Daniel Gafford DAL CMavericks' Daniel Gafford: Departs with ankle soreness
4d agoGafford won't return to Thursday's game against the Lakers due to right ankle soreness. He tallied two points (1-2 FG), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 28 minutes.
Gafford was ruled out late in the fourth quarter with the game already decided, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact on his team's rotation. The 27-year-old will have over a week to rest going into the All-Star break, with his next chance to take the court arriving Feb. 20 in Minnesota.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Posts 10 points at All-Star weekend
23h agoSiakam (hamstring) played 18 minutes Sunday at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles between Team World's losses to Team Stars and Team Stripes, finishing with 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists.
After coming off the bench in a 37-35 overtime loss to Team Stars in Team World's first contest of the round-robin tournament, Siakam entered the starting five for the second matchup of the day while Luka Doncic was rested after Doncic had missed the Lakers' last four games before the break due to a hamstring strain. Siakam -- who had missed thePacers' most recent game Wednesday versus the Nets due to a sore hamstring -- went a perfect 3-for-3 from the field during his start, but Team World was eliminated after falling 48-45 to Team Stripes. Though the hamstring isn't expected to be an issue for Siakam moving forward, he could still be in line for a rest day coming out of the All-Star break. The Pacers will open their second-half schedule with a Thursday/Friday back-to-back set in Washington.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Ready to go for All-Star weekend
2d agoSiakam (hamstring) will play for Team World on Sunday at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles.
Siakam sat out thePacers' most recent game against the Nets on Wednesday -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to hamstring soreness. However, he'll be ready to make his fourth All-Star appearance Sunday and should be good to go for Indiana's first game following the break Thursday versus the Wizards.
Collin Murray-Boyles TOR PFRaptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Sees light run in Rising Stars Game
2d agoMurray-Boyles (thumb) saw 1:14 of court time between Team Melo's two games Friday in the Castrol Rising Stars event in Los Angeles, missing his only field-goal attempt and recording no other statistics.
Murray-Boyles had missed theRaptors' final game before the All-Star break Wednesday against the Pistons due to a left thumb sprain, but the injury didn't keep him from participating in All-Star weekend festivities. Even so, Murray-Boyles saw by far the least amount of playing time of the seven players on the Team Melo roster, and the rookie first-round pick failed to get off the bench for the 25-24 loss to Team Vince in the championship game. Murray-Boyles is still expected to be good to go for the Raptors' first game out of the break Thursday in Chicago, but he could be in store for a smaller role than he's held over the past few weeks after center Jakob Poeltl (back) recently returned to action following a lengthy absence.

Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Cleared for Rising Stars Game
3d agoMurray-Boyles (thumb) will play Friday in the Castrol Rising Stars Game at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles.
Murray-Boyles aggravated a lingering left thumb injury in Sunday's 122-104 win over the Pacers and sat out Wednesday's 113-95 loss to Detroit. However, he's shown enough improvement to suit up in the Rising Stars Game, where he'll be part of Team Melo alongside Reed Sheppard, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, Jeremiah Fears, Ace Bailey and Donovan Clingan.
Kawhi Leonard LAC SFClippers' Kawhi Leonard: Incredible performance in ASG
2d agoLeonard went for 31 points (11-13 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two steals in 12 minutes during Team Stripes' 48-45 All-Star Game 3 win over Team World on Sunday.
Leonard put on a show in Game 3 of the All-Star Game tournament, as he connected on each of his first seven shots, including five from deep. Leonard concluded the game with 31 points, by far the highest individual scoring total across the four games. His standout performance was capped off with what ended up being a game-winning three-pointer as time wound down. In the team's other two games, Leonard struggled, logging just six total points. Still, his effort in Game 3 will be one to remember for All-Star Games to come. Outside the All-Star Game, Leonard has been on a tear of late, averaging 30.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.8 steals in 33.5 minutes per contest over his last four regular-season appearances.

Beauchamp turned in an efficient game-high 14 points in the semifinals to lead his team to the championship game, when he provided eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) in nine minutes during a 31-29 loss to Team Black. The two-way player has appeared in just two outings for the76ers this season, during which he has averaged 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 18.0 minutes per contest. Over 21 G League outings with the Delaware Blue Coats in 2025-26, the 2022 first-rounder has averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals in 37.2 minutes per contest.
Patrick Baldwin Jr. PHI SFPatrick Baldwin: Contract expires Sunday

Baldwin signed a 10-day pact with Philadelphia on Feb. 5 and appeared in one game with the club, grabbing one rebound in two minutes during Monday's loss to Portland. Unless the 76ers opt to retain him on a second 10-day deal or if he lands a roster spot with another NBA team, Baldwin will likely rejoin the G League's San Diego Clippers. Over 25 games with San Diego this season, Baldwin has averaged 21.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.6 steals in 33.6 minutes per game.

The second-year forward led his squad with an efficient 10 points, though Team T-Mac was unable to make the championship game as VJ Edgecombe dropped 17 points for Team Vince. After playing a limited role in his rookie campaign, Tyson has had a breakout season for Cleveland thus far, averaging 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 steals in 27.8 minutes per tilt across 50 regular-season outings (35 starts) in 2025-26.

Booker started in all three games for the Stars, recording no more than five points in any contest while taking a back seat to backcourt mate and MVP Anthony Edwards (32 points on 13-for-22 shooting). Prior to All-Star weekend, Booker had missed theSuns' most recent game Wednesday versus the Thunder due to right ankle injury management, but he should be good to go for Phoenix's first contest of the second half Thursday in San Antonio.

Powell has averaged 2.9 three-pointers per game and has converted at a 39.6 percent clip from downtown over his 45 appearances on the season, but the veteran wing was unable to get going from deep in his first All-Star appearance. The 32-year-old had missed theHeat's final two games before the All-Star break due to lower-back tightness, but assuming he checked out fine following Sunday's exhibition, he'll be ready to go for Miami's next contest Friday in Atlanta.

Edwards came into All-Star Weekend in below-average form by his standards, averaging 22.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 35.3 minutes per contest over his last three regular-season appearances, including a 14-point outing against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Avdija missed Portland's win over the Jazz on Thursday due to injury management in the second leg of a back-to-back set, though he's set to make his first career All-Star appearance Sunday.

Prior to signing his 10-day pact with Washington on Feb. 6, Gilbert had been playing for the Wizards' G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go. The Wizards will have the option of retaining Gilbert on a second 10-day deal, but he'll likely stick around in the organization as a member of the Go-Go if he doesn't end up getting re-signed ahead of Washington's next game Thursday versus Indiana. The undrafted rookie out of Iowa State appeared in three games for Washington over the course of his deal, averaging 2.0 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 16.0 minutes while shooting 1-for-4 from the field and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe.

Though Doncic was cleared to play in the exhibition after missing theLakers' final four games before the All-Star break due to a left hamstring strain, he was under a strict minutes limit and ended up sitting out Team World's other round-robin game, a 48-45 loss to Team Stripes. Assuming Doncic emerges from Sunday's action without any setbacks, he'll be back in action Friday for the Lakers' home game versus the Clippers.

However, the superstar guard is expected to play only in the first game of the round-robin tournament. Assuming he makes it through Sunday's exhibition without any setbacks, Doncic should be ready to play in the Lakers' next game Friday against the Clippers.
