  • Questionable to return
    Bogdanovic is questionable to return to Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers due to a left foot contusion, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

    Advice: Bogdanovic played just one minute and didn't record any counting stats before suffering the injury with 11:41 remaining in the second quarter. The sharpshooter has been playing through left wrist ligament damage during the opening-round series, and he's struggled to make an impact, averaging only 8.0 points in 16.3 minutes over the first three games.

  • Out indefinitely
    Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks and will be sidelined indefinitely, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee, Leonard missed the Clippers' Game 1 win, which allowed Amir Coffey to draw a start. The superstar returned for Game 2 and posted 15 points (7-17 FG), seven rebounds and four steals in 35 minutes during the loss. He played only 25 minutes during Los Angeles Game 3 loss and finished with nine points (4-7 FG) and nine rebounds. Clippers president Lawrence Frank said shutting Leonard down was a move the organization made to ensure Leonard's future health, per Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News.

  • Kawhi Leonard (knee) out Sunday, maybe longer
    Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) will not play in Sunday’s game 4 against the Mavericks.

    Advice: Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank announced on Sunday afternoon that Leonard will not play, despite the star forward’s desire to do so. It was reported after Game 3 that Leonard’s knee did not respond as hoped, casting doubt on his status for Sunday. The question now is when he will return, with Frank saying Leonard will not play until he can do all he needs to do on the court from a mobility standpoint. Amir Coffey started Game 1 and could return to the lineup, despite the Clippers facing a potential 3-1 deficit. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to locker room
    Bogdanovic suffered an apparent ankle injury with 11:41 remaining in the second quarter and limped to the locker room, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Nicolas Batum dove after a loose ball and made contact with Bogdanovic's ankle, and the latter remained on the floor for a while before limping straight to the locker room. The sharpshooter has also been playing through left wrist ligament damage. Bogdanovic didn't accumulate any counting stats in his minute of playing time before suffering the injury.

  • Bojan Bogdanovic to play through wrist injury
    According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, an MRI of Bojan Bogdanovic’s left wrist revealed ligament damage, but he will continue to play.

    Advice: Bogdanovic has been playing with a protective wrap on his injured wrist, initially sprained in early April. The veteran forward appeared to aggravate the issue during Thursday’s Game 3 loss to the 76ers but remains in the game. A subsequent MRI has revealed ligament damage, and surgery during the offseason is a potential option. In the short term, Bogdanovic will continue to play through the injury.

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for Game 4 Sunday
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: Giannis remains sidelined, and with Damian Lillard (Achilles) also out, the Bucks will be without their top two scorers for Game 4. Bobby Portis will continue to start, and while he has been solid offensively, Pacers forward Pascal Siakam has flourished on the other end of the floor. Rotoworld Today, 8:54 am
     
  • Downgraded to out
    Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

    Advice: As expected, Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard (Achilles) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out. Khris Middleton (ankle) remains probable. Bobby Portis should continue to start for Antetokounmpo and will need to play an even larger role on offense due to Lillard missing his first game of the postseason. Antetokounmpo has yet to progress to team drills, but his next chance to suit up will come during Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:35 am
     
  • Strong outing off bench
    Isaac finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 victory over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Isaac delivered his best outing of the postseason, and Wendell Carter played well as a starter, so it's safe to assume both players will stick in their current roles after swapping places to start the postseason. Across four postseason games against Cleveland, Isaac has averaged 8.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals in 21.3 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 8:10 am
     
  • Scores only nine points in win
    Banchero racked up nine points (4-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Banchero struggled to find an offensive rhythm and scored his fewest points since Nov. 29, but the Magic still evened the series at 2-2. The budding superstar averaged 25.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 37.0 minutes over the first three matchups of the opening-round series and scored in single digits only twice during the regular season.
