  • Heads to locker room
    Lillard left Friday's Game 3 with 2:13 remaining in the first quarter due to an apparent knee injury and went to the locker room, Tony East of SI.com reports.

    Advice: Lillard drove to the basket for a layup and gently collided with Pascal Siakam but landed awkwardly and had to be helped to the bench. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) has yet to play this postseason, and Khris Middleton is playing through an ankle injury he suffered early in Game 2, so Lillard's potential absence couldn't come at a worse time. AJ Green subbed in for Lillard, but Pat Connaughton and Malik Beasley are also candidates for increased roles until the All-Star point guard can return. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Haywood Highsmith (arm) probable Saturday vs. Heat
    Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is listed as probable for Saturday’s Heat-Celtics matchup.

    Advice: Highsmith is back on the injury report after contributing nine points, three rebounds, and a steal in Game 2. He’ll likely continue playing a significant bench role on Saturday. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Luke Kornet (calf) probable Saturday vs. Heat
    Luke Kornet (left calf strain) is probable for Saturday’s Celtics-Heat matchup.

    Advice: Kornet didn’t play in Games 1 or 2 but appears poised to make his 2024 playoff debut this weekend. It’s unlikely that he’ll play a ton behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, though. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
     
  • Remains out for Game 3
    Rozier (neck) won't play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Rozier's absence streak will extend to nine games Saturday due to neck spasms. With Delon Wright (personal) questionable, Patty Mills could receive his first minutes of the series against Boston. Rozier's next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Monday. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Iffy for Game 3
    Wright is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics due to personal reasons.

    Advice: Wright starred off the bench during the Game 1 loss and posted 17 points, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes. However, he finished the Game 2 win with just five points and four rebounds in 20 minutes. Either way, his potential loss could be costly to a backcourt already playing with Terry Rozier (neck) and Josh Richardson (shoulder). Jimmy Butler also remains out. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Good to go Saturday
    Nance (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Nance was held to just 14 minutes of action in Game 2 due to an apparent right ankle injury. However, Nance should be available and serve as one of New Orleans' primary frontcourt options off the bench in Game 3. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Likely available Saturday
    Kornet (calf) is probable for Saturday's Game 3 in Miami.

    Advice: After starting the final two regular-season games while the usual starters rested, Kornet was sidelined for the first two postseason games while rehabbing a calf injury. Even if he gets the green light, Kornet isn't guaranteed a significant role, especially if Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis remain healthy. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm
     
  • Reggie Jackson (ankle) questionable Saturday v
    Reggie Jackson (left ankle) is listed as questionable for the Nugget’s Saturday matchup with the Lakers.

    Advice: Jackson is still hobbled after tweaking his ankle on Thursday and his availability for Saturday is up in the air. His absence isn’t likely to affect the rotation much. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Khris Middleton (ankle) active Friday vs. Pacers
    Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) has been upgraded from questionable to active ahead of Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Bucks and Pacers.

    Advice: Middleton returned from a leg injury in Game 2 and is set to suit up despite not practicing on Thursday. Pat Connaughton will likely get an extended run if Middleton struggles. Rotoworld Today, 1:38 pm
