  • Available for Game 2
    Jovic (back) is available for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Jovic was a late addition to the injury report due to a minor back issue, but as expected, he's been upgraded from probable to available. He posted 10 points, six rebounds and a block in 26 minutes during Sunday's 114-94 Game 1 loss. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Nikola Jovic (back) will play in Game 2 Wednesday
    Nikola Jovic (back discomfort/spasm) will play against Boston in Game 2 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Jovic was initially listed as probable, and he has now officially been cleared to suit up in this one. He logged 26 minutes in Game 1 and had 10 points and six rebounds. He should continue to start in this game. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Questionable for Thursday
    Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Game 3 versus the 76ers on Thursday.

    Advice: Robinson logged 30 minutes off the bench during New York's Game 1 win, but he was limited to just 18 minutes during Game 2, so perhaps his ankle was bothering him. We'll have a better idea of Robinson's playing status based on his activity level following Thursday's shootaround, but if he is forced to the sidelines, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims would have the opportunity to get into the rotation.

  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) questionable for Game 3
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle injury recovery) is questionable to play in Game 3 against Philadelphia on Thursday.

    Advice: Robinson hasn’t been on the injury report lately, though it isn’t shocking that he is still managing this ankle injury that forced him to miss nearly four months. If he has to sit out against the 76ers, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims may have to return to the rotation. Rotoworld Today, 2:35 pm
     
  • Won't play Thursday
    Jerome (ankle) will remain on the sidelines for Game 3 versus the Magic on Thursday.

    Advice: Jerome is still recovering from ankle surgery and hasn't played since Oct. 27. Even if he's cleared to suit up during the postseason, he's unlikely to crack the rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 1:43 pm
     
  • Good to go for Game 3
    Suggs (knee) isn't listed on Orlando's injury report for Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: Suggs suffered a left knee sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss, but he returned in the second half and said he was fine following the contest. He was also able to practice Wednesday. The defensive-minded guard has totaled 22 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and a block through the first two games of the opening-round series. Rotowire.com Today, 1:42 pm
     
  • Won't play Thursday
    Porter (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with Orlando.

    Advice: Porter has yet to play this postseason, but he's a negligible part of the rotation. His next chance to wear a uniform will come Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:39 pm
     
  • Joel Embiid (knee) deemed questionable Thursday
    Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable to play against New York in Game 3 on Thursday.

    Advice: Though Embiid will continue to manage this knee injury, he isn’t going to sit out during the playoffs because of it. They’re down 0-2, and they’ll need a big performance out of him with the series shifting to Philadelphia. Rotoworld Today, 1:38 pm
     
  • Questionable for Thursday
    Melton (back) is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with New York.

    Advice: Melton has not yet made an appearance this postseason, but he was able to practice Wednesday, so he does appear to be close. However, he'll likely have his minutes closely monitored once he is eventually cleared to return. Rotowire.com Today, 1:36 pm
