    • Kawhi Leonard (knee) out Sunday, maybe longer
      Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) will not play in Sunday’s game 4 against the Mavericks.

      Advice: Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank announced on Sunday afternoon that Leonard will not play, despite the star forward’s desire to do so. It was reported after Game 3 that Leonard’s knee did not respond as hoped, casting doubt on his status for Sunday. The question now is when he will return, with Frank saying Leonard will not play until he can do all he needs to do on the court from a mobility standpoint. Amir Coffey started Game 1 and could return to the lineup, despite the Clippers facing a potential 3-1 deficit. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:53 am
       
    • Shines with 30-point game Saturday
      James ended with 30 points (14-23 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: The Lakers are still alive in the series against the Nuggets, and James became just the fourth player in NBA history to record a 30-point playoff game at the age of 39 or older, joining Reggie Miller, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on that exclusive list. James has surpassed the 25-point mark in each of the four games in this series, and the Lakers will need him to be at his best once again if they want to avoid elimination in Game 5 on Monday.

    • LeBron James tallies 30 points, full stat line
      LeBron James played 39 minutes in Saturday’s 119-108 win over the Nuggets, accounting for 30 points (14-of-23 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one blocked shot.

      Advice: James committed six turnovers, but the overall body of work was good enough to help the Lakers extend their season. He scored 14 of his team-high 30 points in the fourth quarter, as the Lakers broke even in the period (28-all). Add in only being a minus-2 in third-quarter points, a significant issue in the first three games of the series, and Darvin Ham’s team lives to fight another day. Even if LeBron shows up on the injury report ahead of Monday’s Game 5, look for him to approach (if not exceed) 40 minutes again. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:08 pm
       
    • LeBron James (ankle) available Saturday vs. Denver
      LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) is available for Saturday’s game against the Nuggets.

      Advice: James was initially probable for Game 4, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. He will take on his usual responsibilities as the Lakers look to extend their season. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:42 pm
       
    • Cleared to play
      James (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's Game 4 versus the Nuggets.

      Advice: No surprise here, as James was carrying his usual probable tag prior to this update. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:38 pm
       
    • Will be questionable for Game 4
      Leonard (knee) will be questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks, head coach Tyronn Lue told Joey Linn of SI.com.

      Advice: Leonard logged 25 minutes in Friday's Game 3 loss, finishing with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists, but he didn't look as fluid in his movements as he did in Game 2, when he was able to play 35 minutes while registering 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals. His official status will be determined closer to Sunday's 3.30 p.m. ET tipoff, but if he's ruled out, Terance Mann and Amir Coffey would be in line to pick up extra minutes.

    • Kawhi Leonard (knee) limited to 25 minutes in G3
      Kawhi Leonard only played 25 minutes on Friday and finished with nine points (4-of-7 FGs), nine rebounds and two assists against the Mavericks in Game 3.

      Advice: After the game, head coach Tyronn Lue said that Kawhi is “still dealing with knee inflammation that the team has to manage”. He also said that he believes that Leonard will be able to suit up for Game 4 on Sunday. It would be surprising if he wasn’t at least on the injury report, and he clearly isn’t 100%. Healthy superstars simply don’t play 25 minutes in a playoff game. If he isn’t able to play like a star, it’s hard to imagine them advancing to the second round. Hopefully this isn’t another “what if” year for the Clippers because of injuries, but it is starting to feel that way. Rotoworld Friday, 8:30 pm
       
    • Listed as probable for Game 4
      James (ankle) is probable for Saturday's Game 4 versus Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: James carrying probable tags due to left ankle soreness is par for the course. Fantasy managers should expect him to suit up with Los Angeles' season on the line, as the Lakers are winless through three games in the series. Rotowire.com Friday, 5:20 pm
       
    • Kawhi Leonard (knee) active Friday vs. Mavericks
      Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) is listed as active for the Clippers’ Friday meeting with the Mavericks.

      Advice: Leonard was underwhelming in his first playoff game of the year but will run it back on Friday after scoring just 15 points in a Game 2 loss. Rotoworld Friday, 3:48 pm
