    • Heads to locker room
      Bogdanovic suffered an apparent ankle injury with 11:41 remaining in the second quarter and limped to the locker room, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: 76ers Nicolas Batum dove after a loose ball and made contact with Bogdanovic's ankle, and the latter remained on the floor for a while before limping straight to the locker room. The sharpshooter has also been playing through left wrist ligament damage. Bogdanovic didn't accumulate any counting stats in his minute of playing time before suffering the injury.

    • Bojan Bogdanovic to play through wrist injury
      According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, an MRI of Bojan Bogdanovic’s left wrist revealed ligament damage, but he will continue to play.

      Advice: Bogdanovic has been playing with a protective wrap on his injured wrist, initially sprained in early April. The veteran forward appeared to aggravate the issue during Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the 76ers but remains in the game. A subsequent MRI has revealed ligament damage, and surgery during the offseason is a potential option. In the short term, Bogdanovic will continue to play through the injury.

    • Intends to play with wrist injury
      Bogdanovic recently underwent an MRI that showed ligament damage in his left wrist but is expected to play through the issue during the postseason, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

      Advice: Bogdanovic's left wrist has been taped throughout the postseason, and he's occasionally mentioned dealing with pain. However, the veteran has not appeared on the Knicks' injury report since the playoffs started, which isn't expected to change moving forward. Bogdanovic has scored in double figures just once through three games against Philadelphia and is shooting only 29.2 percent from the field. Scotto relays that Bogdanovic may need surgery on his wrist this offseason. Rotowire.com Today, 7:56 am
       
    • Haywood Highsmith (arm) available for Game 3 Sat.
      Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is available for Saturday’s game against Boston.

      Advice: Highsmith has played 26 minutes in each of the first two games of this series, which will be his likely workload for Game 3. He’s capable of providing a few 3-pointers and some rebounds, but that isn’t enough to merit being slotted into most DFS lineups. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:27 am
       
    • Daniel Gafford (back) active Friday vs. Clippers
      Daniel Gafford (lower back soreness) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Game 3 matchup between the Mavericks and Clippers.

      Advice: Gafford is good to go despite missing Thursday’s practice. The Mavericks big man has struggled to produce against the Clippers so far and could take a back seat to Dereck Lively and Maxi Kleber if he struggles. Rotoworld Friday, 4:01 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Gafford (back) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Clippers.

      Advice: Gafford has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with back spasms. Gafford should start at center for the third straight game to begin the series. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:53 pm
       
    • Haywood Highsmith (arm) probable Saturday vs. Celtics
      Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is questionable for Saturday’s Heat-Celtics matchup.

      Advice: Highsmith is back on the injury report after tallying nine points, three rebounds, and a steal in Game 2. He’ll likely continue to play a significant role off the bench on Saturday. Rotoworld Friday, 3:17 pm
       
    • Present at shootaround
      Gafford (back) was on the court and walking around during shootaround ahead of Friday's Game 3 versus the Clippers, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Gafford is officially listed as questionable Friday due to back spasms. The 24-year-old big man's availability will likely be determined shortly before tipoff at 8 pm ET. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:10 am
       
    • Significant role yields little offense
      Batum provided four points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 125-114 victory over the Knicks in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Batum continues to do very little on offense despite playing meaningful minutes, highlighting the 76ers' lack of depth. Although he did manage three combined steals and blocks, the team would likely love for him to have scored more than four points. Given the 76ers have very few options when it comes to somewhat reliable producers, Batum should continue to play a significant role moving forward. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:39 pm
