  • Ruled out for Game 1
    Reddish (ankle) won't play in Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Reddish's ankle injury suffered near the end of the regular season will now force him to miss the first game of the opening-round series. The team will likely re-evaluate the forward ahead of Game 2 on Monday. Rotowire.com 1 minute ago
     
  • Probable for Game 1
    James (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: James has once again been added to the team's injury report due to left ankle peroneal tendinopathy, but he should be able to continue to play through the issue. He's coming off a strong showing in Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Pelicans, falling one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Expected to play in Game 1
    Davis (back) is probable for Saturday's Game 1 against Denver, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Davis continues to be added to the injury report due to low back soreness, but the issue isn't expected to keep him out of Saturday's action. The team should confirm his availability closer to tipoff. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Spotted in walking boot
    Vanderbilt (foot) was wearing a walking boot during Friday's practice, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Previous reports have suggested that Vanderbilt is getting close to a return, which is why it was curious to see him wearing a boot. However, coach Darvin Ham stated after practice that the boot is simply a "precautionary measure," per Jovan Buha of The Athletic, and the forward hasn't suffered any kind of setback. The team has yet to provide a concrete timeline for Vanderbilt's return. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Eric Gordon active Sunday vs. Timberwolves
    Eric Gordon is listed as active for the Suns’ Sunday matchup against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Gordon missed his team’s regular-season finale with a migraine but is now active ahead of Phoenix’s first playoff game. He’ll suit up in a reserve role against the Timberwolves on Sunday. Rotoworld Today, 3:38 pm
     
  • Joins starting five
    Jaquez is starting Friday's Play-In Game against the Bulls.

    Advice: Jaquez will take the place of Jimmy Butler, who is expected to miss several weeks with an MCL sprain. While Butler is surely a big loss for the Heat, Jaquez has shown that he can produce while playing with the first unit, scoring in double figures in 16 of 20 starts during the regular season.

  • Back at practice Friday
    Lillard (adductor) practiced Friday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Lillard didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday to rest lingering injuries but is trending in the right direction after putting in a full session Friday. However, his status for Game 1 of the opening-round series against Indiana on Sunday likely won't be known until Saturday afternoon. Rotowire.com Today, 3:14 pm
     
  • Andre Drummond (ankle) active Friday vs. Heat
    Andre Drummond (left ankle sprain) is listed as active for the Bulls’ Friday game against the Heat.

    Advice: Drummond wasn’t available for his team’s first play-in game but has a chance to contribute ahead of the weekend. The Bulls center will back up Nikola Vucevic. Rotoworld Today, 3:04 pm
     
  • Duncan Robinson (back) active Friday vs. Bulls
    Duncan Robinson (left facet syndrome) is active for the Heat’s Friday matchup with the Bulls.

    Advice: Robinson didn’t play against the 76ers despite being active, so his status for Friday doesn’t guarantee that he’ll be in the rotation. The sharpshooter has a better chance of touching the court with Jimmy Butler out, but whether he’ll impact the game is up in the air. Rotoworld Today, 2:53 pm
