    • Expected to play Sunday
      Doncic (knee/ankle/chest) is listed as questionable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals versus the Celtics on Sunday but is expected to play, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

      Advice: Doncic was previously downgraded from probable to questionable due to a thoracic contusion, but he is expected to suit up for the crucial Game 2 in Boston. The All-Star was in clear discomfort during Saturday's shootaround, notably grabbing at his chest. However, he's dealt with a litany of injuries throughout the playoffs, including a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness. Despite those issues, Doncic hasn't missed a game during the postseason, averaging 28.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.7 steals in 41.3 minutes. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
       
    • Luka Doncic downgraded to questionable for Game 2
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday’s Game 2 against the Celtics.

      Advice: The change in designation so soon before tip-off is a bit alarming, especially considering Dallas is down 1-0 in the series. Doncic will surely do everything in his power to be available for this contest, but if he’s forced to sit out, expect Kyrie Irving to assume starting PG duties. One of Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy, Josh Green or Tim Hardaway Jr. will take Doncic’s spot in the starting five. Rotoworld Today, 11:49 am
       
    • Downgraded to questionable
      Doncic has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Celtics due to a thoracic contusion.

      Advice: Doncic has been a regular on the injury report throughout the postseason due to a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness but is now listed with a thoracic contusion. He appeared to grab at his chest/rib area during Saturday's practice, per Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com, but the new injury wasn't added to the report until after he missed the media portion of Dallas' morning shootaround Sunday. It'd be a major shock if Doncic doesn't suit up for Game 2, but the superstar point guard may be limited if he gets the green light. Doncic posted 30 points, 10 rebounds and one assist in 38 minutes during Game 1. Rotowire.com Today, 10:46 am
       
    • Coming off bench in Game 2
      Porzingis will come off the bench in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday versus the Mavericks, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Porzingis returned for Game 1 of the NBA Finals after suffering a right soleus strain in Game 4 of the Celtics' opening-round series against the Heat. The 28-year-old left his mark off the bench in Game 1, putting up 20 points, six rebounds and three blocks across 21 minutes in a blowout victory. Al Horford will retain his role in the starting lineup, though his minutes will likely decrease, as Porzingis' role is expected to grow as the Celtics look to take Game 2 at home.

    • Probable for Sunday
      Doncic (knee/ankle) is probable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals versus the Celtics on Sunday.

      Advice: Doncic has been a mainstay on the injury report throughout the playoffs, which has not stopped him from playing in this deep Mavericks run. The All-Star is averaging 28.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.7 steals, shooting 44.0 percent from the field across 41.3 minutes in 18 playoff games. Doncic will look to lead the Mavericks to a win Sunday after putting up a double-double in Thursday's Game 1 loss. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:45 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) probable for Game 2 Sun.
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is probable for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Doncic remains on the Mavericks injury report, but the probable tag indicates that he will be on the court for Game 2. He played 38 minutes in Thursday’s NBA Finals opener, failing to meet or exceed 40 minutes for the third time this postseason. Unless the game is a blowout, Doncic plays at least 40 minutes.

    • Report: Sasha Vezenkov will not return to Kings
      Sasha Vezenkov has informed the Kings that he does not intend to return for the second year of his contract, per Mihalis Stefanou of Euro Hoops.

      Advice: Vezenkov is under contract for this upcoming season, so he can’t simply “not return”. However, there is plenty of time for them to trade him or buy out his contract. Stefanou’s report also indicates that Vezenkov hasn’t decided if he will continue to play in the NBA or return to Europe. Vezenkov averaged 5.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 triple in 11.9 minutes per game across 44 appearances. He may have some upside if he lands with a different team that will grant him a larger role, but this shouldn’t have a direct impact on fantasy hoops at this point.

    • Wants out of Sacramento
      Vezenkov has informed the Kings he does not plan on returning for the second year of his contract, Mihalis Stefanou of eurohoops.net reports.

      Advice: Vezenkov has a guaranteed contract for the 2024-25 season without an option, so it is possible that the Kings could waive him in the offseason. It is unclear whether the 28-year-old will remain in the NBA or make a return to Europe. Vezenkov logged his first action in the NBA last season with Sacramento and averaged 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 12.2 minutes in 42 appearances.

    • Cleans up in garbage time
      Hardy closed with 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 11 minutes during Thursday's 107-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

      Advice: Hardy scored 11 points in about five minutes of fourth-quarter garbage time. Considering the defensive presences of Derrick White and Jrue Holiday, it may be difficult for Hardy to make an impact, though he'll likely continue to see light minutes to spell Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
