  • Not on injury report
    Alexander-Walker is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 4 against the Nuggets.

    Advice: Alexander-Walker appeared to hurt his left shoulder during Game 3 Friday, and he was complaining about the pain in the locker room after the game. However, it appears that he escaped without anything too serious, and fantasy managers can expect him to suit up in his usual role Sunday. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • OG Anunoby (hamstring) out for Game 4 Sunday
    OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Friday that Anunoby was not expected to be available for Game 4, so this status update is unsurprising. Precious Achiuwa started Game 3 and had issues defending Pascal Siakam. Anunoby’s absence also freed up rotation minutes for Alec Burks, who scored 14 points on Friday. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Aaron Nesmith (shoulder) questionable for Game 4
    Aaron Nesmith (right shoulder soreness) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

    Advice: Nesmith tweaked his shoulder during Friday’s victory but did not miss any time. Moving him onto Jalen Brunson improved things defensively for the Pacers, so look for Nesmith to take on that role once again on Sunday afternoon. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
     
  • Iffy for Game 4
    Nesmith is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against New York with right shoulder soreness.

    Advice: Nesmith's shoulder injury is new, as he seemingly picked up the issue during the Pacers Game 3 win. Nesmith has averaged 34.3 minutes per game during the series, which could open up plenty of minutes for Doug McDermott and Ben Sheppard if Nesmith winds up sitting Sunday.

  • Ruled out for Game 4
    Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

    Advice: This is hardly a surprise given how tricky hamstring injuries are to deal with. Anunoby has been traveling with the team and is likely getting treatment around the clock. In the meantime, the Knicks are likely to play a very tight rotation with Alec Burks getting extended run in Game 4. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Checking back in
    Williams (ankle) has returned to Saturday's Game 3 against the Mavericks, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Williams took a trip to the locker room late in the third quarter with what seemed to be a left ankle injury, but he'll be back in action for the fourth period. His return should mean fewer minutes for Gordon Hayward and Jaylin Williams down the stretch. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to locker room
    Williams went to the locker room during Saturday's Game 3 with what appears to be a left ankle injury, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Williams stepped on Josh Green's foot and went down while the play continued. He limped off the court and directly into the locker room, where he'll undergo further evaluation. While he's out, Jaylin Williams and Gordon Hayward could see more action. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Starts second half
    Gafford (shoulder) has returned for the second half, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Gafford briefly went to the locker room in the second period grabbing at his left shoulder but was able to take the floor for the second half. If he's restricted due to the injury, Dereck Lively would be next in line for minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 2:09 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 4
    Caldwell-Pope is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves with a right abdominal contusion.

    Advice: Caldwell-Pope will land a questionable designation for a second consecutive contest due to a bruised abdomen. He was able to play through the injury in Game 3 and logged 37 minutes, so there should be a level of optimism ahead of Sunday's tilt. Rotowire.com Today, 2:06 pm
