  • Kelly Oubre (illness) to play in Game 5 Tuesday
    Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) will play on Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

    Advice: Despite missing the 76ers’ pregame shootaround, Oubre was probable on the initial injury report. He will play in Game 5, with 76ers coach Nick Nurse saying that “it’s a matter of how far he can go” regarding how much Oubre plays. Nicolas Batum and DeAnthony Melton can play additional minutes if Kelly is limited. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago

  • Needs surgery, out for postseason
    Bogdanovic will undergo season-ending surgeries on his left foot and left wrist, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Bogdanovic was playing through ligament damage in his left wrist but suffered a left foot injury during his first minute in Game 4 and was already ruled out for Game 5. The sharpshooter was traded to the Knicks at the deadline and averaged 10.4 points in 19.1 minutes across his final 29 regular-season appearances. However, Bogdanovic struggled in limited action during the opening-round series against Philadelphia, as he averaged 8.0 points on 29.2 percent shooting in 16.3 minutes over the first three matchups. He has one more year remaining on his current contract. Rotowire.com Today, 12:55 pm
     
  • Shams: Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist) to undergo surgery
    According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Bojan Bogdanovic will undergo season-ending surgeries to his left wrist and left foot.

    Advice: Bogdanovic, who was already dealing with torn ligaments in his left (non-shooting) wrist, injured his left foot when Nicolas Batum fell onto it while diving for a loose ball during Game 4 on Sunday. The Knicks listed him on the injury report as having a left ankle contusion. Still, the report of surgery being needed indicates that the injury was more severe than initially believed. Miles McBride will play more as the Knicks look to close out the 76ers on Tuesday. Bogdanovic’s fantasy value took a hit, as an early-season injury limited him to 28 games with the Pistons before being traded to New York at the February deadline. He played 27 regular season games with the Knicks, offering limited fantasy value off the bench. Bogdanovic’s contract for next season is partially guaranteed. Rotoworld Today, 12:53 pm
     
  • Officially ruled out
    Hardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers.

    Advice: Hardaway suffered a setback during Tuesday's post-practice scrimmage and will miss a third straight contest after spraining his right ankle during Game 2. In Hardaway's absence, Josh Green and Dante Exum are candidates for a few extra minutes off the bench. Rotowire.com Today, 12:34 pm
     
  • Terry Rozier (neck) ruled out for Game 5 Wednesday
    Terry Rozier (neck spasms) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Facing elimination, the Heat will be without three key rotation pieces in Boston. Rozier and Jimmy Butler (knee) remain sidelined, with Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) joining them on the sideline after injuring his hip during Monday’s Game 4 defeat. Caleb Martin will remain in the starting lineup, while Tyler Herro will continue to shoulder a heavy workload. Also, Jaquez joining the list of injured players may result in more rotation minutes for Patty Mills. Rotoworld Today, 12:31 pm
     
  • Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) out for Game 5 on Wednesday
    Jaime Jaquez Jr. (right hip flexor strain) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Already playing without Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier, the last thing Miami needed was another injury. Jaquez injured his hip during Monday’s Game 4 defeat, limiting the rookie to 22 minutes. He will not play in what could be the Heat’s final game of the season, with Jaquez’s absence freeing up a spot in the starting lineup. Delon Wright, Haywood Highsmith, and Duncan Robinson (who’s dealing with left facet syndrome) are all available to absorb the minutes that would usually go to Jaquez. Rotoworld Today, 12:29 pm
     
  • Remains out for Game 5
    Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Rozier will miss an 11th straight game due to a neck strain. Jimmy Butler (knee) and Jaime Jaquez (hip) are also out for the potential elimination game, so Delon Wright, Patty Mills, Kevin Love and Duncan Robinson are all candidates for increased roles.

  • Ruled out for Game 5
    Jaquez has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics due to a hip flexor strain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Jaquez initially went to the locker room during the first half of Game 4 after experiencing tightness in his hip but quickly returned to action. However, he was sidelined for the entire fourth quarter and finished with only nine points and two boards in 22 minutes. With Jaquez joining Terry Rozier (neck) and Jimmy Butler (knee) on the sidelines for the potential elimination game, Delon Wright, Patty Mills, Haywood Highsmith, Kevin Love and Duncan Robinson are candidates for increased roles.
