Brandon Clarke (right quad) said his health is "pretty much the same ... [as it was] pre-injury."

Advice: "Over these past five to six weeks, I've gotten back to the player that I was," Clarke said. "I got the same balance and running habits [as pre-injury], so it'll all just be about my habits on the court." Memphis is also expected to have Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) and Justise Winslow (back) in the active lineup, which bolsters their chances of holding onto the No. 8 seed. Rotoworld.com Today, 7:25 am

Marc Stein of the New York Times is reporting that veteran center Amir Johnson is a "prime target" for the Nets. 

Advice: The Nets are in need of reinforcements up front as DeAndre Jordan and Nic Claxton will not play in Orlando. Johnson would likely be looking at minutes in the teens behind Jarrett Allen in Orlando if he lands a deal with the Nets, so there's minimal fantasy impact here. Johnson last played for the 76ers in 2018-19, averaging just 10.4 minutes per game for 3.9 points and 2.9 rebounds.  Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 9:52 am

Kristaps Porzingis said that he developed new elements of his game during the stoppage.

Advice: “It’s a secret," he said. "I’ll show it on the court.” Porzingis added that the time off has been great for his health and that he's 100 percent. "The extra time just gave all of us more time to recover from little things that we all have going on. Basically everybody has something, always, and we just play through it, so this extra time gave guys the opportunity to heal those little things, to be even in better shape and to feel better when we come back.” Rotoworld.com Monday, 7:52 am

Jusuf Nurkic expects to play some power forward in Orlando.

Advice: That almost certainly refers to playing alongside Hassan Whiteside, who leads the NBA in blocks per game (3.1) and is second in rebounds (14.2). Nurk hasn't played since March 2019, but the Blazers reportedly won't have him on any minute-limit. If he starts alongside Zach Collins and gets some overlapping minutes with Whiteside, his playing time should fall in the 24-30 range, depending on conditioning. Rotoworld.com Friday, 10:39 am

Zach Collins said his surgically-repaired left shoulder has "no limitations ... like the surgery didn't even happen."

Advice: Collins wasn't officially cleared for full basketball activities until mid-June, and he's had either limited or no contact work, but this is still a great update. "The shoulder feels great," he said. "I have had no reason to believe that it will hold me back from doing anything. I feel pretty normal on the court like the surgery didn’t even happen, so I’m ready to go." Collins is expected to start alongside Jusuf Nurkic when the season resumes -- coach Terry Stotts didn't rule out a Nurk/Hassan Whiteside frontcourt, but then suggested that was just "to give [reporters] something to talk about."

Marvin Bagley (left foot) said he added 10 pounds of muscle with the expectation that he'll be playing more center.

Advice: One day after coach Luke Walton said Bagley is ready to play in Orlando, Bagley confirmed he's 100% and said he can't even remember the last time he had discomfort in his foot. When Bagley returned in January, he didn't get any of his 122 minutes with Richaun Holmes, so it sounds like that's the plan again. Considering how Bagley played just 13 games, his minutes will likely be in the low 20s when the Kings get back on the court. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 1:03 pm

Anthony Davis said the NBA's shutdown has allowed him to get "100 percent healthy."

Advice: Davis had a minor left elbow injury on March 11 when the season halted. Prior to that he had a sore right knee, a bruised right calf, a sprained right finger, and a sore right shoulder that plagued him for months. He said the break helped all of those minor issues to heal completely -- hopefully that means the Lakers won't list him as 'probable' for every single game in Orlando, as they have all year.

Hassan Whiteside is expected to move to the bench and could even start next to Jusuf Nurkic.

Advice: Coach Terry Stotts said that "in all likelihood" Nurkic will start with Carmelo Anthony, but he hasn't decided if Zach Collins will start at the four. Damian Lillard had said that he is expecting Nurkic to start, so it sounds like it's very likely Whiteside will be in the second unit. He had a monster season as a first-round value in season-long leagues, but obviously Nurkic's return will cut into Whiteside's upside. Rotoworld.com Wednesday, 1:03 pm

Sixers coach Brett Brown said that no player on the Sixers "put in more time than Joel Embiid" during the NBA's shutdown.

Advice: "Forget what he has actually done in the gym for a minute," Brown said. "Just go to the man-hours and consecutive days and the amount of days he has put in over the past few months." Embiid admitted he wasn't "up to [his own] standard" early in the season, but has clearly put in the work to be at his peak when play resumes. That's music to the Sixers' ears.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra confirmed that Meyers Leonard (sprained left ankle) is ready to play.

Advice: Leonard was a beneficiary of the extended hiatus, having suffered a severe sprain shortly before the season screeched to a halt. He's ready to go now, giving Miami a capable backup big with 3-point range. Rotoworld.com Wednesday, 10:12 am
