Nickeil Alexander-Walker - Back on bench SaturdayAlexander-Walker is not starting Saturday against the 76ers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ImpactAs expected, Alexander-Walker heads back to the bench with Mike Conley back in the starting unit following a game off due to rest. Alexander-Walker provided two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals over 15 minutes during Friday's 112-108 victory over the Magic. His return to the bench shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters.

Lauri Markkanen - Ruled out SaturdayMarkkanen (hip) will not play in Saturday's game against the 76ers, David Locke reports.
ImpactMarkkanen was tabbed as questionable for the contest after picking up a left hip contusion Friday and will ultimately be sidelined for Saturday's tilt. In his stead, Talen Horton-Tucker, Jarred Vanderbilt and Ochai Agbaji are all candidates to see expanded roles. Markkanen's next chance to play will come Monday in Minnesota.

Gary Harris - Actually on injury reportHarris is now questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets due to mallet finger on his shooting hand, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ImpactHarris was left off the Magic's initial injury report but has now been added to the list. He exited Friday's game early due to the injury, and it appears that further evaluation discovered he is dealing with mallet finger. Considering the injury is on his shooting hand, it's unclear if he will be able to play Sunday or if he is facing a longer absence.

Collin Sexton - Will sit SaturdaySexton will not play in Saturday's game versus the 76ers due to right hamstring injury maintenance. Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ImpactSexton returned from a five-game absence to log 24 minutes in Friday's tilt versus the Magic, but he will get the night off Saturday in the second game of the back-to-back set. His absence should slot Nickeil Alexander-Walker in as the team's backup option again at point guard, though Sexton seems likely to rejoin the action Monday against the Timberwolves.
