    • 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 Today, 9:10 am
       
    • Deemed questionable for Friday
      Gafford (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: The questionable tag on Gafford is not surprising, as the big man missed Thursday's practice due to his lower back problem. If he can't go Friday, then Dereck Lively and Maxi Kleber are candidates to receive increased playing time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:38 pm
       
    • De’Anthony Melton (back) active Thursday
      De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) has been upgraded from questionable to active ahead of Thursday’s 76ers-Knicks game.

      Advice: Melton is set to make his 2024 postseason debut. His nagging back injury has improved enough for him to hit the hardwood and his status will likely reduce Kyle Lowry’s minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:34 pm
       
    • Available to play Thursday
      Melton (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

      Advice: Melton was tabbed a game-time decision for this contest, but he'll be available to see minutes off the bench. He didn't see action in either of the first two games of the series and has played just two games since the beginning of March, so he's not expected to have a heavy workload.

    • Considered game-time decision
      Melton (back) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Melton practiced Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday's matchup, but the 76ers will wait to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his availability. Even with the 76ers down 0-2 in the first-round series, it wouldn't be surprising to see Melton's playing time monitored if he's cleared to suit up Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:52 pm
       
    • Grayson Allen (ankle) questionable Friday
      Grayson Alen (right ankle) is listed as questionable for the Suns’ Friday matchup with the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Allen was dealing with a sprained right ankle ahead of Game 2 and rolled it during play. The Suns wing’s status for Game 3 is up in the air and Eric Gordon will likely take advantage of his absence if he’s ruled out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:08 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 3
      Allen (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

      Advice: Allen tweaked his right ankle injury during Tuesday's Game 2 but underwent an X-ray after the matchup that came back negative. He practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and was able to run with a water treadmill. He also said that his ankle feels "better than expected." It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's matchup, but it's encouraging that he was able to do some activity Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:52 pm
       
    • Daniel Gafford (back) misses practice Thursday
      Daniel Gafford (lower back soreness) missed practice on Thursday and is questionable for Game 3 against the Clippers on Friday.

      Advice: Gafford only played nine minutes on Tuesday because of this back issue, and there is a chance that it keeps him on the sidelines entirely for Game 3. Even if he does play, he may have his minutes limited once again. Dereck Lively will certainly take on a larger role after having seven points and nine rebounds in 21 minutes. Maxi Kleber should also see extra minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:16 am
       
    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) ruled out for Game 3
      Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) will not play in Game 3 against the Clippers on Friday.

      Advice: THJ exited early from Game 2 after an awkward fall, and he will remain sidelined for Game 3. Josh Green should fill out his role off the bench, though he went scoreless in 14 minutes on Tuesday. Dante Exum should also take on some extra minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:13 am
