  • Logs limited practice
    Love (arm) was a partial practice participant Tuesday in advance of Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Love's status for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament battle remains up in the air. It isn't a win-or-go-home scenario for Miami, who would play the winner of Chicago and Atlanta if Philadelphia prevails Wednesday, but Love's ability to rebound and space the frontcourt would be a notable loss if he's ultimately unavailable. Love is dealing with a contusion to his upper arm. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Doesn't practice Tuesday
    Rozier (neck) didn't practice Tuesday, Zachary Weinberger of Clutch Points reports.

    Advice: Rozier missed the final four games of the regular season due to neck spasms and still isn't practicing ahead of Wednesday's Play-In Game against the 76ers. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported Monday that Rozier was getting more tests done on his neck, but the Heat have been cautiously optimistic about the shooting guard's availability. Duncan Robinson (back) and Kevin Love (arm) were both limited during Tuesday's practice. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Limited at practice
    Robinson (back) was limited at Tuesday's practice, Zachary Weinberger of Clutch Points reports.

    Advice: Robinson missed the final three games of the regular season, but his limited participation suggests he's now considered day-to-day. Miami will release its official injury report Tuesday evening, so that's when fantasy managers can expect more clarity on his status for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

  • Full practice participant
    Robinson (ankle/rest) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and is not dealing with an injury after sitting for the second half of Sunday's win over Chicago, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Robinson is "fine" in the words of coach Tom Thibodeau, and he has additional time to continue re-charging while New York awaits the outcome of the Play-In Tournament. Robinson has been volatile across 10 games since returning from ankle surgery, but he represents a valuable platoon element of the Knicks' frontcourt. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Dealing with ankle trouble
    Reddish is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In 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, the 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 41 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 46 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 Today, 9:12 am
     
  • 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
