• Available to play
    Doncic (ankle) is available for Friday's Game 2 against Minnesota.

    Advice: Doncic will shed yet another probable tag as he continues to power through ankle soreness and a minor knee sprain. Doncic does not have any reported restrictions ahead of tipoff. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:24 pm
  • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) active for Game 2 Friday
    Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is available for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: As expected, Doncic is good to go after the Mavericks listed him as probable on the initial injury report. Unless Game 2 gets out of hand in either direction, he should play at least 40 minutes on Friday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:21 pm
  • Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) questionable Sat.
    Tyrese Haliburton (left hamstring soreness) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Haliburton, limited by an injury to the same hamstring earlier this season, exited Thursday’s Game 2 defeat during the fourth quarter. While the injury being a case of soreness instead of a strain is good news, there’s no guarantee the All-NBA point guard will play on Saturday. Andrew Nembhard (who’s already a starter), T.J. McConnell, and Ben Sheppard would all be required to do more if Haliburton cannot play. And the Pacers are already in an 0-2 hole, so losing Haliburton could end their hopes of turning things around.

  • Luke Kornet (wrist) doubtful for Game 3 Saturday
    Luke Kornet (left wrist sprain) is doubtful for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: Kornet injured his wrist during the first half of Boston’s Game 2 victory on Thursday and did not return. Oshae Brissett picked up rotation minutes in his absence but is unlikely to play enough to impact DFS tournaments if Kornet cannot play on Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:13 pm
  • Unlikely to play Saturday
    Kornet (wrist) is doubtful for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers on Saturday, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

    Advice: Kornet exited Thursday's Game 2 due to a left wrist sprain and will likely be unavailable for at least one matchup. Assuming Kornet is sidelined, Oshae Brissett could see additional run for Boston. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:03 pm
  • Questionable for Game 3
    Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics on Saturday.

    Advice: Haliburton exited Thursday's Game 2 due to left hamstring soreness, but coach Rick Carlisle expressed hope after the game that it was a short-term issue. However, it's unclear whether Haliburton will be able to suit up when the Pacers return home Saturday in hopes of getting their first win of the series. If Haliburton is unavailable, T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard could see increased roles. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:56 pm
  • Lonzo Ball (knee) plans to play in season opener
    Lonzo Ball (left knee surgery) said on his podcast that he plans to play in Chicago’s season opener in October.

    Advice: Ball hasn’t played in over two years, but as of now, he is planning to play this upcoming season. That is a long way away, so a lot could change over the next five months, but he appears to be optimistic. He also explained on his podcast that he had to get a new meniscus from a donor as part of his recovery, which is concerning for his long-term health. Hopefully there will be more updates in the coming months that will paint a clearer picture of what his potential availability could look like to start next season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:53 pm
  • Sitting out Game 2
    Prosper (ankle) won't play in Friday's matchup with the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.

    Advice: Prosper hasn't been available since Game 3 of the Mavericks' first-round series with the Clippers after spraining his left ankle in a practice leading up to that contest. The rookie first-round pick hadn't been a regular part of the rotation during the regular season, so his continued absence should go largely unnoticed. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:29 am
  • Aggravates hamstring in Game 2
    Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said after Thursday's 126-110 loss to the Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals that Haliburton's departure late in the third quarter was the result of left hamstring soreness, Joe Vardon of The Athletic reports. "We hope that this is a very short-term aggravation," Carlisle said.

    Advice: Though Haliburton tallied 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes before leaving the game for good with 3:44 remaining in the third quarter, he appeared to have picked up the injury earlier in the contest. He fell hard to the floor in the first half and was spotted in the medical imaging room at TD Garden during halftime to get evaluated for a chest injury, but Carlisle relayed after the game that Haliburton was also getting his hamstring worked on. Haliburton was playing in pain in the third quarter before checking out of the game for good with an injury that the Pacers officially labeled as left leg soreness before Carlisle provided more clarity afterward. The All-Star guard previously missed 10 games in January due to a strain of the same hamstring, so he could struggle to gain clearance ahead of Saturday's Game 3 in Indiana.
