Puts up 30 points in G League
The Scoop: Lundy had one of his best performances of the season Thursday, but it won't matter much in the broader picture. The Skyhawks are eliminated from playoff contention in the G League, so it's unclear if Lundy will manage his usual workload in the regular-season finale against Long Island. He might see minutes at the NBA level with the Hawks once the G League regular season wraps up.

Vezenkov (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
The Scoop: Vezenkov has been sidelined since early February, but he's trending in the right direction and is considered day-to-day. If he gets the green light, Vezenkov could work his way back into the rotation. On the season, the forward is averaging 12.6 minutes per game.

Hauser is not in the starting lineup to face the Hawks on Thursday, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
The Scoop: The Celtics will feature their regular starting unit of Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis, so it's not surprising to see Hauser heading back to his regular bench role. Hauser is averaging 11.9 points per game while shooting 47.8 percent from three-point range since the beginning of March.

Minnesota transferred Clark (Achilles) to the G League's Iowa Wolves on Thursday.
The Scoop: Clark was a second-round pick by the Timberwolves but has yet to play this season while recovering from Achilles surgery he underwent during his final collegiate season at UCLA in 2022-23. It's unclear if he'll be cleared to play before the end of his rookie campaign, but it's encouraging to see the youngster ramping up in the G League.

Juzang (back) is questionable to play Friday against the Rockets.
The Scoop: Juzang missed Wednesday's loss to the Spurs and is now in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. However, even if he's available, he's not expected to impact the rotation significantly.

Kleber (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.
The Scoop: Kleber has been listed as "questionable" the past two games due to a sore right knee, but he's been playing through it, so he feels a bit closer to probable. We should get another update on Kleber following Friday's shootaround.

Holiday (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
The Scoop: Holiday will return Thursday following a five-game absence due to a right shoulder sprain. The Celtics' regular rotation, save for Al Horford (toe/rest), is healthy for the first time in a couple of weeks as Boston looks to avenge an ugly loss to Atlanta on Monday. Holiday will start and won't have any restrictions.

Gibson (hamstring) is out for Friday's game versus the Wizards.
The Scoop: Gibson's absence streak will extend to six games Friday due to a right hamstring strain. There is no timetable for the veteran big man's return.

Fontecchio (toe) will remain on the sidelines for Friday's game against the Wizards.
The Scoop: Friday will mark Fontecchio's seventh straight game on the inactive list, and considering there haven't been any reports of him practicing and he continues to get ruled out 24 hours before tipoff, it's safe to assume he's still not close to returning. He belongs on the waiver wire in re-draft formats.

Clowney is probable for Friday's game against the Bulls due to a back contusion, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
The Scoop: It sounds like Clowney will power through the back issue Friday night. The rookie has played double-digit minutes in three of his last four games, averaging 3.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in 12.0 minutes during that stretch.
