  • 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 7 minutes ago
     
  • Good to go for Game 3
    Leonard (knee) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Mavericks, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Advice: After missing Sunday's Game 1 win due to knee inflammation, Leonard returned for Game 2 on Tuesday and put up 15 points, seven rebounds, four steals, two assists and a block in 35 minutes during a 96-93 loss, marking his first appearance since March 31. With the series tied at 1-1, Leonard's health and impact will be key to the Clippers' success. Despite suiting up for back-to-back games, the questionable tag may stick with Leonard for the rest of the postseason. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Kevin Love (arm) probable Saturday vs. Celtics
    Kevin Love (left upper arm contusion) is probable for Saturday’s Heat-Celtics game.

    Advice: Love logged just six minutes in Miami’s Game 2 win and appears poised to continue coming off the bench moving forward. He was held scoreless in his last outing. Rotoworld 17 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 22 minutes ago
     
  • Haywood Highsmith (arm) probable Saturday vs. Celtics
    Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is questionable for Saturday’s Heat-Celtics matchup.

    Advice: Highsmith is back on the injury report after tallying nine points, three rebounds, and a steal in Game 2. He’ll likely continue to play a significant role off the bench on Saturday. Rotoworld 27 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 31 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 39 minutes ago
     
  • Luke Kornet (calf) probable Saturday vs. Heat
    Luke Kornet (left calf strain) is probable for Saturday’s Celtics-Heat matchup.

    Advice: Kornet didn’t play in Games 1 or 2 but appears poised to make his 2024 playoff debut this weekend. It’s unlikely that he’ll play a ton behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, though. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
