  • Questionable for Monday
    Kornet (wrist) is questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers on Monday, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Kornet suffered a sprained left wrist early in Game 2 against Indiana and carried a doubtful tag prior to Game 3 before being officially held out. The questionable tag is a slight upgrade, but with the Celtics up 3-0, there is no indication they will risk further injury to the 28-year-old before a potential Finals series. If Kornet is unable to go, Oshae Brissett will likely serve as the backup center. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:18 pm
     
  • Sitting out Saturday
    Kornet (wrist) won't play Saturday in Game 3 of the Celtics' Eastern Conference Finals series versus the Pacers.

    Advice: Kornet was previously carrying a doubtful designation into Sunday, so his absence from Game 3 comes as little surprise. Oshae Brissett is likely to pick up a handful of reserve minutes as the primary backup to starting center Al Horford while Kornet is in street clothes. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:39 pm
     
  • Luke Kornet (wrist) ruled out for Game 3 Saturday
    Luke Kornet (left wrist sprain) is out against the Pacers on Saturday.

    Advice: Injured during the first half of Boston’s Game 2 victory on Thursday, Kornet will not play on Saturday. Oshae Brissett may enter the rotation for a few minutes, but he’s unlikely to play enough to merit DFS consideration. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:36 pm
     
  • Out again Sunday
    Kleber (shoulder) won't play Sunday in Game 3 of the Mavericks' Western Conference Finals series with the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Kleber is dealing with a right AC joint separation and remains without a clear timetable to return. His next chance to play will be Tuesday for Game 4. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:33 pm
     
  • 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 Friday, 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 Friday, 2:03 pm
     
  • Capped at five minutes with wrist sprain
    Kornet didn't return to Thursday's 126-110 win over the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals after suffering a sprained left wrist in the first quarter. He finished with two rebounds and one turnover in five minutes.

    Advice: After Kornet's early exit, Oshae Brissett (12 minutes) ended up serving as the Celtics' primary reserve big man behind frontcourt starters Al Horford and Jayson Tatum. With Kristaps Porzingis (calf) not expected to be ready to play until Game 4, Kornet's status for Saturday's Game 3 gains added import. The Celtics would likely once again lean more heavily on small-ball lineups featuring Horford, Tatum and Brissett as their main frontcourt options if Kornet joins Porzingis in street clothes.

  • Luke Kornet (wrist) questionable to return Thurs.
    Luke Kornet (left wrist sprain) is questionable to return to Game 2 against the Pacers on Thursday.

    Advice: Kornet exited before halftime with this wrist issue and may be sidelined for at least the remainder of the game. Oshae Brissett has already filled out some minutes in his place, and he has played well. He won’t contribute much statistically, but he appears to be the replacement for Kornet.

  • Out for Game 2
    Kleber (shoulder) won't play Friday in Game 2 of the Mavericks' Western Conference Finals series with the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Kleber remains without an official timetable to return from the right AC joint separation he sustained earlier this month. The Mavericks haven't indicated whether Kleber has a chance at playing in the series, but his status will continue to be evaluated on a game-by-game basis. Rotowire.com Thursday, 4:47 pm
