  • Dealing with ankle trouble
    Reddish is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against New Orleans due to a right ankle sprain, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Reddish did not suit up for the final two games of the regular season, missing a contest due to personal matters and being a healthy scratch for the finale. He's now dealing with pain in the same ankle that has sidelined him for multiple stretches this season, although he has been a minimal factor in the Lakers' rotation of late. Nonetheless, if he's unavailable to play Tuesday, defensive burden on the wings will fall entirely on the shoulders of Taurean Prince, Rui Hachimura and LeBron James (ankle).

  • Misses another practice Tuesday
    Melton (back) missed the duration of Tuesday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

    Advice: Melton also missed Monday's practice, putting his status for Wednesday's game versus Miami in real jeopardy. There should be more clarity on Melton's status when the 76ers release their injury report Tuesday evening. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Gets in another practice
    Embiid (knee) was a full participant at Tuesday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

    Advice: This was Embiid's second straight practice appearance, so he remains on track to play Wednesday against Miami. His absence in the season finale Sunday was merely a precaution based on previous reports. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Announces Retirement
    Griffin announced his retirement from the NBA on Tuesday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

    Advice: The No. 1 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, Griffin will wrap up his career with six All-Star selections to his name, a Rookie of the Year Award, and placement on the All-NBA second and third teams on five occasions. In 13 total seasons, Griffin posted career averages of 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists while playing for the Clippers, Pistons, Nets and Celtics. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
     
  • Doubtful to begin series
    ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Bucks are preparing to be without Antetokounmpo (calf) for the beginning of their series against the Pacers.

    Advice: This is in line with previous reporting, as there doesn't appear to be much optimism about Antetokounmpo appearing in the first couple games of the series. Wojnarowski adds that the Bucks are hopeful Antetokounmpo can return later in the series with constant treatment, but this is a fluid situation. Rotowire.com Today, 7:37 am
     
  • Goes down with ankle injury
    Sarr left Monday's Game 3 of the G League Finals against the Maine Celtics due to an ankle injury, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Sarr was involved in a collision while pursuing a rebound, and he ultimately needed to be carried to the locker room. His return to Monday's clash seems unlikely given the circumstances in which he exited. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:31 pm
     
  • Cleared for Play-In Tournament
    Green (knee) will play Tuesday versus Sacramento.

    Advice: Green and Stephen Curry (ankle) have both been removed from Monday's injury report, while Gary Payton (calf) is officially inactive. Malik Monk (knee) and Kevin Huerter (shoulder) represent notable absences for Sacramento, although there should still be no shortage of drama, as three of Golden State's four regular-season meetings versus the Kings this year were decided by exactly one point.

  • Removed from injury report
    Curry (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against Sacramento.

    Advice: Curry and Draymond Green (knee) have both been cleared for action Tuesday, leaving Gary Payton (calf) as the Warriors' lone absence. Golden State will be traveling to Sacramento for Tuesday's showdown, returning to the scene of the crime where Curry dropped 50 points (20-38 FG, 7-18 3Pt) in a victorious Game 7 of last year's first-round series between these teams. Additionally, Curry averaged 31.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in four games against the Kings this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:50 pm
     
  • LeBron James (ankle) probable Tuesday vs. Pelicans
    LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) is listed as probable for Tuesday’s Lakers-Pelicans play-in contest.

    Advice: James is likely to play after finishing off the regular season with a triple-double. There’s no reason to believe he won’t be active in an important game that could drastically affect the Lakers’ playoff outlook. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:44 pm
