- Hill will undergo the league's mandatory concussion test to determine if he'll be able to play in Indiana's playoff game against New York on Saturday night, the Indianapolis Star reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: If Hill is unable to pass the test, D.J. Augustin will start at point guard in his place. Recovery times vary with concussions and if Hill passes the test, it will be one of the quicker recoveries.

- Augustin will start at point guard for Saturday's Game 6 against New York if George Hill is unable to pass the league's mandatory concussion test, the Indianapolis Star reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The Pacers are not counting on having Hill available, but there's still time before tip off Saturday night. Augustin started in place of Hill in Game 5 and had 12 points, two rebounds and two steals. Incredibly, the point guard had no assists.

- Jack, who becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer, stated his desire to remain with Golden State, the San Jose Mercury News reports. He finished the regular season averaging 12.9 points in 29.7 minutes per game while shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from 3-point range.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Jack's had better statistical seasons than he had in 2012-13, but there's no doubting his fit with this particular club. He was the second-leading scorer in the playoffs and was often the primary ball handler, moving Stephen Curry to shooting guard. Both sides would like to see Jack in a Golden State uniform next season, however, he's expected to generate some buzz in the market. And with the development of Harrison Barnes, the Warriors might not be interested in Jack getting the minutes he received this past season.

- Hinrich (calf) isn't expected to require surgery on his ailing calf, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Hinrich's injury is believed to be nothing more than a painful bruise rather than any sort of structural issue, so surgery appears off the table for now. With a full offseason to recover now that the Bulls have been eliminated from the playoffs, Hinrich should be fine for the start of training camp.

- Leonard is currently being bothered by a knee injury, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Leonard should be able to play through the injury, as he scored in double digits in every game of the second round against the Warriors. There is only mild cause for concern here, barring a setback.

- George scored 23 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-10 FT) to go with six rebounds, six assists and one steal in Thursday's Game 5 loss to the Knicks.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The Pacers had an opportunity to close out the series, but George's struggles on offense handicapped the Pacers on the road. Look for George to bounce back strong in Game 6.

- Smith (illness) scored just 13 points on 4-for-11 from the field in Thursday's Game 5 win against the Pacers. He added six rebounds, two assists, three steals, and one block.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: While Smith has not missed a game in the series due to his illness, it is evident that he is being affected by it. He has yet to have a game shooting better than 37 percent from the field and has failed to reach 20 points in a single game so far. He will need to find his rhythm if the Knicks hope to advance.

- Curry (ankle) was able to log 42 minutes but was eliminated in Thursday's Game 6 loss to the Spurs. He contributed 22 points (10-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt) to go with four rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Curry has had a remarkable season coming back from his major ankle injury last year. Despite a rather early exit in the postseason, the young guard has surprised many. His best days are ahead of him, and this postseason experience can only help him mature to become a better player.

- Thompson struggled in Thursday's Game 6 loss to the Spurs, scoring just 10 points on 4-for-12 from the field.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Thompson has been hit-or-miss in the series against the Spurs, playing rather inconsistently even for his standards. The Warriors could have used his offensive firepower, but the sophomore wing failed to shoot better than 39 percent over the Warriors' last four games. Hopefully, he will head into the offseason working on other aspects of his game, so that he can find a way to contribute, even when his shot isn't falling.

- Coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose (knee) will "be ready to go next year," the Chicago Tribune reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Despite the ongoing speculation of his status throughout the year, Rose ended up sitting out all of the 2012-13 season, as he ultimately lacked full confidence in his surgically repaired left knee. A full offseason and slate of preseason games should help Rose regain his mojo for next season.

- Felton put up a solid stat line in Thursday's Game 5 victory against the Pacers, tallying 12 points, five rebounds, four assists, and three steals in 37 minutes of action.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: While Felton hasn't exactly taken up the scoring load in the series against the Pacers, his contribution in other aspects has helped the Knicks. He will need to continue to play effectively if the Knicks hope to dig out of the hole and take the series.

- Robinson, who injured his left shoulder in the Bulls' previous game, played 47 minutes Wednesday night in Chicago's loss to Miami in Game 5 of their playoff series.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The loss eliminated the Bulls from the playoffs, ending what has been a pretty successful season for Robinson, who averaged 13.1 points per game. When Kirk Hinrich hurt his calf in the playoffs, Robinson filled in and averaged just under 40 minutes per game in eight playoff starts.

- Prigioni may return to the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 5 against Indiana, the Wall Street Journal reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Prigioni was held to the bench Tuesday, earning just three minutes on the court. However, if he does start Thursday, he should post something similar to his output from the first three games of the series - 3.3 points (on 50 percent shooting), 4.7 assists, 1.3 rebounds, 0.7 three-pointers, and 0.7 steals in 22.3 minutes.

- Shumpert (knee) said he feels "fine" and he didn't feel any pain in Game 4, ESPN New York reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The Knicks are facing elimination in Game 5, so look for Shumpert to play without restrictions as the Knicks struggle to stay alive in the series.

- Wade (knee) scored 18 points in 37 minutes Wednesday night in Miami's series-clinching victory over Chicago in Game 5.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Wade's been dealing with a knee injury throughout the series and was a game-time decision for Wednesday's game.
