Tyson Chandler's shoulder injury has been diagnosed as a sprain rather than a strain, but it remains uncertain if he'll be able to play Sunday against the Spurs, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Chandler's shoulder injury has been diagnosed as a sprain rather than a strain, but it remains uncertain if he'll be able to play Sunday against the Spurs, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

The injury limited Chandler to just eight minutes in Friday's loss to the Rockets, with his absence for the entire second half forcing interim coach Earl Watson to utilize an undersized frontcourt that primarily consisted of Mirza Teletovic, Kris Humphries, and Jon Leuer. In addition to Chandler, Alex Len (ankle) is also iffy for Sunday's game, and the potential unavailability of both players would leave the team without a healthy true center on the roster. Humphries (18 points, 12 boards in 25 minutes Friday) and Teletovic (25 points, eight boards in 34 minutes) would appear to be more intriguing DFS targets than Leuer on Sunday if both Len and Chandler are sidelined.
