Overview

Duncan blocked four shots in Tuesday's Game 2 against the Grizzlies to become the first player in NBA history to record 500 blocks in the playoffs, the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Recommendation: Duncan has played in 202 playoff games in his career. He's the all-time leader in blocks in the playoffs and is coming off one of his best seasons blocking shots in his career. Perhaps the most amazing thing about this milestone is the fact that it's merely an extra bullet point added to Duncan's illustrious resume.

Vasquez is scheduled to undergo a cleanup procedure on both of his ankles, True Hoop reports. He could miss three-to-four months to fully recover from the procedure.
Recommendation: Vasquez is in a precarious position with the Pelicans. He was the starting point guard when healthy this season, but the team drafted Austin Rivers with the 10th pick in last year's draft, and Rivers believes his best position is point guard. Depending on the Pelicans' plans next season, Vasquez's inability to practice and improve for the better part of the off-season could open the door for Rivers to claim the starting point guard role next season. Vasquez is under contract with the Pelicans for at least one more season, and the team can extend him a qualifying offer in 2014-15 to keep his free agency restricted.

Smith has fluid build in his left knee that may have contributed to his poor shooting performance in the playoffs, the NY Post reports.
Recommendation: Smith is supposed to get the fluid drained from his in the near future, and he should be fine after that. Everything in the Post's report suggests that draining the knee and resting it for a short period of time should relieve any stiffness or swelling. Smith is expected to opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent this summer. He has said he wants to remain a Knick, but it'd be somewhat surprising if Smith isn't able to spin his Sixth Man of the Year Award into a decent long-term contract.
