    • Mike Conley (Achilles) active Thursday vs. Nuggets
      Mike Conley (right Achilles strain) has been upgraded from probable to active for Thursday’s Timberwolves-Nuggets game

      Advice: Conley is good to go after missing his last game and is likely start and bump Nickeil Alexader-Walker back to the bench. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:51 pm
       
    • Will play Thursday
      Conley (Achilles) will play in Game 6 against the Nuggets on Thursday, head coach Chris Finch told Jack Borman of SB Nation.

      Advice: Finch also said the Wolves will be "mindful" of Conley's minutes after he missed Game 5 with an Achilles injury. Still, the veteran floor general will be out there in what could be the last game of the season for a Minnesota team that has lost three in a row against the defending champions. Conley is averaging 11.3 points, 7.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game during the current postseason run, and even though he'll have his minutes monitored, it would be shocking if he's not part of the starting lineup.

    • Mike Conley (Achilles) probable Thursday vs Nuggets
      Mike Conley (right Achilles strain) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday’s Timberwolves-Nuggets matchup.

      Advice: Nickeil Alexander-Walker filled in for Conley in Game 5, but it appears like Minnesota’s floor general is trending toward playing again after a one-game layoff. NAW will likely return to the bench with Conley back in the rotation. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:14 pm
       
    • Likely to play Thursday
      Conley (Achilles) is expected to play in Thursday's Game 6 against the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Conley is expected to return to action Thursday after missing Game 5 with right Achilles soreness. If the veteran guard is ultimately upgraded from questionable to available, he will likely reclaim his starting spot from Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:40 am
       
    • Present at shootaround
      Conley (Achilles) is at Minnesota's shootaround ahead of Thursday's Game 6 against Denver, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

      Advice: Conley is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest after missing Game 5 with right Achilles soreness. While Conley's presence at shootaround is a good sign of his availability, the veteran guard was also at shootaround ahead of Game 5 before being ruled out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:11 am
       
    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) out for Game 5 Wednesday
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: The Cavaliers face long odds to extend their season, as Allen is one of three rotation players ruled out for Game 5. Donovan Mitchell and Caris LeVert are also out for Wednesday’s game. With Allen sidelined, Evan Mobley will continue to serve as the starting center for the Cavaliers. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:33 pm
       
    • Remains out for Game 5
      Allen (ribs) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 in Boston, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Allen will miss an eighth straight game due to a right rib contusion. Donovan Mitchell (calf) and Caris LeVert (knee) are also out, so Cleveland's starting lineup for Wednesday's potential elimination game features Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, Max Strus, Dean Wade and Evan Mobley.

    • Mike Conley (calf) questionable for Game 6 Thurs.
      Mike Conley (right soleus strain) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.

      Advice: While Minnesota’s inability to defend Nikola Jokic was the biggest storyline in Game 5, Conley’s absence was also impactful. Nickeil Alexander-Walker moved into the starting lineup and was solid, but not having Conley on the court negatively impacted Anthony Edwards. Edwards had his worst game of the series, shooting 5-of-15 from the field and committing four turnovers. With Minnesota’s season on the line, they desperately need a healthy Conley on the court for Thursday night. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:21 pm
       
    • Iffy for Game 6
      Conley (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Conley was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Game 5 due to right Achilles soreness and was ultimately unable to play, allowing Nickeil Alexander-Walker to get his first start of the postseason. If Conley is sidelined again, Monte Morris would be a candidate for double-digit minutes off the bench. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:11 pm
