    • Out indefinitely
      Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks and will be sidelined indefinitely, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee, Leonard missed the Clippers' Game 1 win, which allowed Amir Coffey to draw a start. The superstar returned for Game 2 and posted 15 points (7-17 FG), seven rebounds and four steals in 35 minutes during the loss. He played only 25 minutes during Los Angeles Game 3 loss and finished with nine points (4-7 FG) and nine rebounds. Clippers president Lawrence Frank said shutting Leonard down was a move the organization made to ensure Leonard's future health, per Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News.

    • 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 7 minutes ago

    • 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.

    • 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 Today, 9:34 am
       
    • Non-factor in loss
      Niang notched two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal across 17 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to Orlando in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Niang has totaled just 14 points and six rebounds through Clevleand's first four postseason games. He's averaging 18.5 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Today, 7:37 am
       
    • Questionable for Game 4
      Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Knicks.

      Advice: Embiid has been listed as questionable for every game in this series so far, but he continues to push through his knee issue and the mild case of Bell's palsy that has affected his eye. During Thursday's Game 3 win, Embiid finished with 50 points (13-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 19-21 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 41 minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:57 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) questionable Sunday for Game 4
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable to play in Game 4 against the Knicks on Sunday.

      Advice: Embiid will continue to be on the injury report as he manages this left knee injury, as well as Bell’s Palsy. However, he will continue to play through it. He’ll look to have another big night and try to tie the series 2-2. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:45 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.

    • James Harden leads LAC with 21/2/5/2/1 line
      James Harden led the Clippers with 21 points (7-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, five triples and five turnovers in a 101-90 loss to Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Harden tied Norman Powell as the leading scorer for the Clippers in this game. Harden was also able to contribute value across the board, though it wasn’t enough for them to get the win. He played 44 minutes in this game, which Tyronn Lue said was a result of Paul George being in foul trouble. Harden is still an effective player, but he’s going to need George to be better if they want to win this series without a healthy Kawhi Leonard. Harden will look to keep this production up in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Friday, 8:43 pm
