  • Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle) out Friday
    Olivier-Maxence Prosper (left ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Friday’s Mavericks-Clippers game.

    Advice: Prosper has only logged one minute through Game 1 of his team’s first-round series so his absence won’t affect the rotation. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Chris Livingston (illness) doubtful Friday
    Chris Livingston (illness) is doubtful for the Bucks’ Friday matchup against the Pacers.

    Advice: Livingston logged four minutes of garbage time in Game 2 and isn’t likely to be a significant contributor in Game 3 whether he’s healthy or not. Rotoworld Today, 1:43 pm
     
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) doubtful Friday
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is listed as doubtful for the Bucks’ Friday matchup with the Pacers.

    Advice: Antetokounmpo still hasn’t made his 2024 NBA Playoffs debut and it appears like he’ll miss his team’s first road game of its series against Indiana ahead of the weekend. Bobby Portis will likely continue to start for Antetokounmpo. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Unlikely to play Friday
    Livingston is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to a non-COVID illness.

    Advice: Livingston has only logged four total minutes through the first two games of Milwaukee's first-round series against Indiana, so his expected absence shouldn't affect the team's rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 1:39 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 3
    Middleton (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against Indiana.

    Advice: Middleton suffered an ankle injury during Tuesday's Game 2 but was still able to play 36 minutes in the defeat. However, he didn't practice Thursday, and his status for Friday's game is up in the air. He'll presumably be monitored by the Bucks' medical staff in the hours leading up to tipoff before the team reveals his status. Rotowire.com Today, 1:36 pm
     
  • Doubtful for Friday
    Antetokounmpo (calf) is doubtful for Friday's Game 3 against Indiana.

    Advice: Antetokounmpo has been putting up shots in recent days but hadn't yet resumed running or cutting as of Wednesday. As a result, he'll likely be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game due to his calf issue. Assuming he's sidelined, his next chance to suit up will be in Sunday's Game 4.

  • Grayson Allen (ankle) questionable Friday
    Grayson Alen (right ankle) is listed as questionable for the Suns’ Friday matchup with the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Allen was dealing with a sprained right ankle ahead of Game 2 and rolled it during play. The Suns wing’s status for Game 3 is up in the air and Eric Gordon will likely take advantage of his absence if he’s ruled out. Rotoworld Today, 1:08 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 3
    Allen (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: Allen tweaked his right ankle injury during Tuesday's Game 2 but underwent an X-ray after the matchup that came back negative. He practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and was able to run with a water treadmill. He also said that his ankle feels "better than expected." It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's matchup, but it's encouraging that he was able to do some activity Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:52 pm
     
  • Doesn't practice Thursday
    Middleton didn't participate in Thursday's practice session due to a right ankle sprain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Middleton briefly exited Tuesday's Game 2 against the Pacers due to his ankle injury, and the issue is still bothering him a few days later. Coach Doc Rivers said there is "a little" concern regarding Middleton's availability for Friday's Game 3. The Bucks will likely continue to monitor the 32-year-old in the hours leading up to tipoff, but his absence would be particularly significant if Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains out.
