Player Notes

  • Goes down with ankle injury
    Sarr left Monday's Game 3 of the G League Finals against the Maine Celtics due to an ankle injury, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Sarr was involved in a collision while pursuing a rebound, and he ultimately needed to be carried to the locker room. His return to Monday's clash seems unlikely given the circumstances in which he exited. Rotowire.com Today, 7:31 pm
  • Cleared for Play-In Tournament
    Green (knee) will play Tuesday versus Sacramento.

    Advice: Green and Stephen Curry (ankle) have both been removed from Monday's injury report, while Gary Payton (calf) is officially inactive. Malik Monk (knee) and Kevin Huerter (shoulder) represent notable absences for Sacramento, although there should still be no shortage of drama, as three of Golden State's four regular-season meetings versus the Kings this year were decided by exactly one point.

  • Anthony Davis (back) questionable Tuesday vs. NOP
    Anthony Davis (back spasms) is questionable for the Lakers’ Tuesday play-in game matchup with the Pelicans.

    Advice: Davis logged 30 points and 11 rebounds in 33 minutes in a dominant win over the Pelicans on Sunday. However, the oft-injured big man is a question mark for his team’s huge play-in game on Tuesday. Los Angeles will have to lean on Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes more than usual if the star center sits. Rotoworld Today, 2:39 pm
  • Ruled out for Tuesday's game
    Wood (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Wood has been sidelined since undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee in March, and he'll remain sidelined as the Lakers begin postseason play Tuesday. It's unclear if he'll be available at any point if the team advances in the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 2:37 pm
  • Practices Monday
    Embiid (knee) practiced Monday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

    Advice: Early Sunday, coach Nick Nurse said Embiid was expected to play in the regular-season finale against the Nets, barring a setback, and then the reigning MVP was ruled out after going through pre-game warmups, sparking pessimistic speculation. However, Nurse clarified before the matinee tipoff that Embiid's absence was considered a precautionary measure, and the big man's return to practice Monday confirms that notion. Embiid will likely still appear on Philadelphia's injury report for Wednesday's Play-In matchup against the Heat, but he's trending in the right direction. The 76ers have won eight straight games, including five consecutive with Embiid in the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 10:15 am
  • Expected to be ready for camp
    Coach Steve Clifford said Monday that he anticipates Richards (foot) will be ready for training camp, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Advice: Richards missed the season finale due to right plantar fascia discomfort, but the center is considered day-to-day. The Hornets are expected to have a healthy Mark Williams back in the lineup to open the 2024-25 season, but Richards will be penciled in as the primary backup. Richards made 67 appearances this season with averages of 9.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 26.3 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 8:40 am
  • Likely ready for training camp
    Coach Steve Clifford said Monday that he expects Williams (back) to be ready for the start of training camp, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Advice: Williams had a disastrous 2023-24 campaign, as his back injury limited him to only 19 appearances. He's expected to have a clean bill of health entering the 2024-25 season, however, and could be poised to bounce back. He finished the regular season with averages of 12.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks, so the upside is there. Rotowire.com Today, 8:32 am
  • Shut down for second half
    Coach Tom Thibodeau said after Sunday's win over the Bulls that Robinson (ankle) wasn't available in the second half, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Robinson finished Sunday's win scoreless with one rebound in seven minutes of action before being shut down. It was especially disappointing to see the big man unavailable after he posted 15 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in 25 minutes during Friday's win over Brooklyn, which was by far his most productive outing since returning from a 50-game absence. Even if Robinson is cleared for the playoffs, he figures to remain in a limited bench role behind Isaiah Hartenstein. Rotowire.com Today, 8:19 am
  • Could miss Game 1
    The Bucks have "real doubt" that Antetokounmpo (calf) will be available Sunday for Game 1 of the team's first-round playoff series versus the Pacers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Antetokounmpo missed the final three games of the regular season with a strained left calf. At the time Antetokounmpo suffered the injury April 9, an optimistic recovery timeline of 1-to-2 weeks had been floated out, but the star forward looks like he could require additional recovery time beyond that. He'll continue to receive daily treatment over the upcoming week, and an official decision on his status for Game 1 may not be made until shortly before Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:08 am
