  • 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 15 minutes ago
     
  • 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 17 minutes ago
     
  • 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 36 minutes ago
     
  • 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 42 minutes ago
     
  • 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.

  • Confirmed out for Game 5
    Coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that Leonard (knee) will not play in Game 5 versus the Mavericks on Wednesday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

    Advice: Lue made this announcement shortly after saying Leonard wouldn't be doing anything at all during Tuesday's practice. Leonard clearly didn't have much mobility in Games 2 and 3, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. Based on previous reports, the Clippers will need to see Leonard's knee inflammation improve before giving him the green light. Rotowire.com Today, 11:00 am
     
  • Won't practice Tuesday
    Coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard (knee) will not do anything at practice Tuesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Advice: After sitting out Game 1 due to inflammation in his right knee, Leonard played in Games 2 and 3, but he looked like a shell of himself with limited mobility. Leonard was held out of Game 4 on Sunday, and it would be a big surprise if he could play Wednesday based on how the forward is trending. If Leonard is indeed held out, Amir Coffey would be a candidate to see an increased role. Rotowire.com Today, 10:55 am
     
  • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) questionable Wednesday
    Tim Hardaway Jr (right ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for the Mavericks’ Game 5 matchup against the Clippers on Wednesday.

    Advice: Hardaway has missed two straight games but could return to the fray on Wednesday. The Mavericks wing has only scored six points in the series, though. Rotoworld Today, 10:27 am
     
  • Questionable for Game 5
    Hardaway (ankle) had a setback during Tuesday's scrimmage and is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, ESPN's Tim MacMahon reports.

    Advice: Hardaway was reportedly moving really well during the scrimmage, so the Mavericks will be frustrated to see the guard suffer a setback. With this news, there may not be any more clarity on his status until Wednesday's morning shootaround. Rotowire.com Today, 10:22 am
