Player Notes

  • 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.

  • Gets in work Thursday
    Coach Joe Mazzule said Thursday that Kornet (calf) is feeling good and more will be known about his injury Friday depending on how he responds to work being done on the court, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Kornet has already missed the first two games of Boston's first-round series against Miami with a calf injury. While Kornet could return to action if the series is drawn out, the Celtics appear to be using Al Horford as their sole bench big. Rotowire.com Today, 10:24 am
  • Won't play Friday
    Prosper is out for Friday's Game 3 against the Clippers due to an ankle sprain he suffered in Thursday's practice, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Prosper's absence shouldn't significantly affect Dallas' playoff rotation. The rookie forward's next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:18 am
  • Daniel Gafford (back) misses practice Thursday
    Daniel Gafford (lower back soreness) missed practice on Thursday and is questionable for Game 3 against the Clippers on Friday.

    Advice: Gafford only played nine minutes on Tuesday because of this back issue, and there is a chance that it keeps him on the sidelines entirely for Game 3. Even if he does play, he may have his minutes limited once again. Dereck Lively will certainly take on a larger role after having seven points and nine rebounds in 21 minutes. Maxi Kleber should also see extra minutes. Rotoworld Today, 10:16 am
  • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) ruled out for Game 3
    Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) will not play in Game 3 against the Clippers on Friday.

    Advice: THJ exited early from Game 2 after an awkward fall, and he will remain sidelined for Game 3. Josh Green should fill out his role off the bench, though he went scoreless in 14 minutes on Tuesday. Dante Exum should also take on some extra minutes. Rotoworld Today, 10:13 am
