  • Joel Embiid (knee) available for Game 6 Thursday
    Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is active for Thursday’s game against the Knicks.

    Advice: As expected, Embiid will play as the 76ers look to extend this series to a decisive seventh game. Should he encounter any flare-ups with the knee, Paul Reed would be the next man up in the rotation. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:33 pm
     
  • Available for Game 6
    Embiid (knee) is available and starting in Game 6 against the Knicks on Thursday.

    Advice: This is not a surprise considering the situation the 76ers are in, as Philadelphia must win this game to force a decisive Game 7. Embiid is averaging 31.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 steals per game in the first-round series against the Knicks. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:33 pm
     
  • Available for Game 6
    Robinson (ankle) will be available for Thursday's Game 6 matchup with the 76ers.

    Advice: Robinson logged 25 minutes in his return Tuesday, so he should see a similar workload in Game 6. With Robinson back in the mix, Precious Achiuwa will likely be out of the rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:32 pm
     
  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) active for Game 6 Thurs.
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is available for Thursday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: Robinson was not wearing a walking boot on his left foot when he arrived at the arena, which was the first sign he would play. The Knicks’ backup center has officially been cleared to play in Game 6, ensuring New York has both of its preferred options in the middle. Isaiah Hartenstein remains the starter.

  • Officially deemed questionable
    Allen (ribs) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 6 against the Magic.

    Advice: Allen is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to a right rib contusion. If the 25-year-old big man is ultimately ruled out, Isaac Okoro will likely draw another start. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:36 pm
     
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) officially out
    Giannis Antetkounmpo (left soleus strain) has been ruled out for Game 6 against Indiana on Thursday.

    Advice: As expected, Giannis will remain sidelined for Game 6. Bobby Portis is coming off of a 29-point performance and should continue to start in his place. It is unclear if Giannis will be able to return for a potential Game 7. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:35 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Game 6
    Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Antetokounmpo was doubtful for Thursday's matchup, but he went through pregame warmups and was considered a game-time decision. However, he never shed his doubtful tag and will be unavailable for a ninth consecutive game. If the Bucks win Game 6 and keep their season alive, Antetokounmpo could be in the mix to return to action. Despite Antetokounmpo's absence, Milwaukee will get a boost for Thursday's matchup since Damian Lillard (Achilles) has been cleared to play. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:34 pm
     
  • Considered game-time decision
    Antetokounmpo (calf) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 6 against Indiana, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Antetokounmpo officially remains doubtful for Thursday's matchup, but reports ahead of tipoff have suggested that the forward is in the mix to return to the court. However, coach Doc Rivers said during his pregame press conference that Antetokounmpo is more doubtful than Damian Lillard (Achilles), who is also a game-time decision. Even though Antetokounmpo would give the Bucks a spark as they attempt to extend their season, it's possible his playing time is monitored if he's cleared to suit up.

  • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable Friday vs. Magic
    Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is listed as questionable ahead of the Cavaliers’ Friday matchup with the Magic.

    Advice: Cleveland pulled out a wi without Allen in Game 5 and the big man could return to the rotation ahead of the weekend. Marcus Marris will likely take on significant frontcourt minutes if Allen is ruled out for a second consecutive contest. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:30 am
