6:30 p.m. ET Update: John Wall will play Saturday despite dealing with a lingering sprained ankle. PJ Tucker is likely to play Saturday, according to coach Silas. He was previously considered questionable with a thigh contusion.

Mike  Conley will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a tight right hamstring. Mitchell Robinson will undergo surgery on his fractured right hand and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks.

Kevin Durant makes his return to the Brooklyn Nets just in time for their Saturday night primetime matchup with the Golden State Warriors. It's his first game back in the Bay Area since leaving the Warriors in 2019. Durant returned to the team Friday after being forced to quarantine for a week and is not expected to have a minute restriction.

John Wall is listed as probable to play Saturday against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden as he nurses an ankle sprain. Victor Oladipo has been ruled out of the contest with a sore right foot/ankle and PJ Tucker is listed as questionable. Tucker didn't practice Friday after missing the end of Thursday's loss due to a left thigh contusion.

The Phoenix Suns could get two players back from long stints on the sidelines Saturday. Dario Saric and Cameron Payne are questionable heading into Saturday's game after practicing on Friday. Suns head coach Monty Williams says he will wait to see how their bodies respond before activating them.
