  • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) out Saturday vs. Magic
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is listed as out for Saturday’s Cavaliers-Magic matchup.

    Advice: Porter didn’t play in Games 1, 2, or 3 and is unlikely to be a significant part of the rotation once he’s healthy. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Returns to Game 3
    Lillard (knee) has returned to Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Tony East of SI.com reports.

    Advice: Lillard went straight to the locker room after suffering an apparent left knee injury with 2:13 remaining in the first quarter, but he was back on the court to start the second period. Khris Middleton is playing through an ankle sprain he suffered in Game 2 and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) has yet to play this postseason, so Lillard's return is a major relief. The All-Star has scored 69 points through the first two games of the series but struggled in the second half on both matchups, which allowed Indiana to even the series with a Game 2 win Tuesday.

  • Damian Lillard (knee) returns from locker room
    Damian Lillard (knee) returned to Friday’s Bucks-Pacers game after heading to the locker room toward the end of the first quarter.

    Advice: Lillard didn’t stay in the locker room for long. He returned to the hardwood for the second quarter after a brief stint in the locker room and will continue to play in Game 3. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to locker room
    Lillard left Friday's Game 3 with 2:13 remaining in the first quarter due to an apparent left knee injury and went to the locker room, Tony East of SI.com reports.

    Advice: Lillard drove to the basket for a layup and gently collided with Pascal Siakam but landed awkwardly and had to be helped to the bench. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) has yet to play this postseason, and Khris Middleton is playing through an ankle injury he suffered early in Game 2, so Lillard's potential absence couldn't come at a worse time. AJ Green subbed in for Lillard, but Pat Connaughton and Malik Beasley are also candidates for increased roles until the All-Star point guard can return. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Damian Lillard (knee) headed to locker room
    Damian Lillard (knee) went to the locker room during the first quarter of Friday’s Bucks-Pacers game.

    Advice: Lillard twisted his knee on a drive against the Pacers and went to the bench before heading back to the locker room. It’s unclear whether he’ll return. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
     
  • Remains out for Game 3
    Rozier (neck) won't play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Rozier's absence streak will extend to nine games Saturday due to neck spasms. With Delon Wright (personal) questionable, Patty Mills could receive his first minutes of the series against Boston. Rozier's next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:35 pm
     
  • Iffy for Game 3
    Wright is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics due to personal reasons.

    Advice: Wright starred off the bench during the Game 1 loss and posted 17 points, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes. However, he finished the Game 2 win with just five points and four rebounds in 20 minutes. Either way, his potential loss could be costly to a backcourt already playing without Terry Rozier (neck) and Josh Richardson (shoulder). Jimmy Butler also remains out.

  • Reggie Jackson (ankle) questionable Saturday v
    Reggie Jackson (left ankle) is listed as questionable for the Nugget’s Saturday matchup with the Lakers.

    Advice: Jackson is still hobbled after tweaking his ankle on Thursday and his availability for Saturday is up in the air. His absence isn’t likely to affect the rotation much. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Another absence coming
    Porter (ankle) won't play in Saturday's Game 4 against the Magic.

    Advice: Porter will miss his fourth straight contest to start the playoffs Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Game 5 on Tuesday against Orlando. Rotowire.com Today, 1:33 pm
