  • Bojan Bogdanovic to play through wrist injury
    According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, an MRI of Bojan Bogdanovic’s left wrist revealed ligament damage, but he will continue to play.

    Advice: Bogdanovic has been playing with a protective wrap on his injured wrist, initially sprained in early April. The veteran forward appeared to aggravate the issue during Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the 76ers but remains in the game. A subsequent MRI has revealed ligament damage, and surgery during the offseason is a potential option. In the short term, Bogdanovic will continue to play through the injury.

  • Good to go for Game 4
    Embiid (knee) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks.

    Advice: Embiid continues to be listed as questionable but hasn't missed a postseason game yet. He has averaged 37.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks through the first three games of the opening-round series and is coming off a 50-point explosion during Philadelphia's Game 3 win on Thursday.

  • Won't play Sunday
    Robinson (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

    Advice: Robinson sprained his surgically repaired left ankle during Thursday's Game 3 loss, didn't practice Saturday and was listed as questionable for Game 4. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN said the big man was warming up with the intention of playing Sunday, but Robinson ultimately didn't get the green light. In his absence, Precious Achiuwa should be the primary backup behind Isaiah Hartenstein, and Jericho Sims may crack the postseason rotation for the first time. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Joel Embiid (knee) available for Game 4 Sunday
    Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is available for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

    Advice: To no one’s surprise, Embiid will play on Sunday. The reigning MVP, who has also been dealing with a mild case of Bell’s palsy, scored a playoff career-high 50 points in Thursday’s victory. The 76ers are looking to even the series at two games apiece. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
     
  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out for Game 4 Sunday
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is out for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: As Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said on Saturday, Robinson did go through a pregame routine on Sunday afternoon. However, the ankle did not react as the Knicks hoped it would, so Robinson will not play. Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims will factor into the rotation, but New York really needs Isaiah Hartenstein to avoid foul trouble. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
     
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for Game 4 Sunday
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: Giannis remains sidelined, and with Damian Lillard (Achilles) also out, the Bucks will be without their top two scorers for Game 4. Bobby Portis will continue to start, and while he has been solid offensively, Pacers forward Pascal Siakam has flourished on the other end of the floor. Rotoworld Today, 8:54 am
     
  • Damian Lillard (Achilles) out for Game 4 Sunday
    Damian Lillard (right Achilles tendinitis) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: Milwaukee’s task of evening their first-round series at two games apiece gets significantly more difficult as Lillard joins Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines. Malik Beasley, Pat Connaughton, and AJ Green are all in the running for increased minutes in Game 4, with Doc Rivers’ choice to start being the best option for DFS tournaments.

  • Intends to play Sunday
    Robinson (ankle), who's officially listed as questionable, is warming up with the intention of playing in Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Robinson sprained his surgically repaired left ankle during Thursday's Game 3 loss and didn't practice Saturday while sporting a walking boot. However, it seems those measures were merely precautionary, as the big man is expected to suit up in Game 4, barring a setback during warmups. After posting eight points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in 30 minutes during a Game 1 victory, Robinson was limited to 30 total minutes over the next two matchups and complied three points and 11 boards during those contests.

  • Ruled out for Game 4
    Lillard (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

    Advice: As expected, Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) have been downgraded from doubtful to out. Khris Middleton (ankle) remains probable. Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, Lillard had been playing through soreness in his Achilles over the last few weeks and aggravated the issue during the Bucks' Game 3 loss on Friday. Malik Beasley, Andre Jackson and AJ Green are all candidates for increased roles in Lillard's absence. Rotowire.com Today, 8:40 am
