NBA Playoff Highlights

Alex Caruso

OKC Guard #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Alex Caruso (rest) is not on the injury report against the Kings on Friday.

Caruso sat out the second leg of OKC’s back-to-back on Wednesday, but he’ll be back against Sacramento. He’ll occupy his typical role off the bench, which should push Ousmane Dieng out of the rotation.

Ron Harper

BOS Guard-Forward #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Ron Harper Jr., Baylor Scheierman and Luka Garza will start Saturday’s Game 7 against the 76ers.

Jayson Tatum (knee) is out for Saturday’s series decider, but his absence has forced just one of three changes to the Celtics’ starting lineup. Scheierman moves into the starting lineup, with the additions of Harper and Garza pushing Sam Hauser and Neemias Queta to the bench.

What Tatum’s absence means for Celtics in Game 7

May 2, 2026 06:52 PM

NBA Showtime discusses the impact of Jayson Tatum’s absence for the Celtics in Game 7, why Jaylen Brown has to be at an “MVP level” alongside his teammates, and how the 76ers will adjust offensively.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Joel Embiid (appendicitis) is available for Saturday’s Game 7 against the Celtics.

The 76ers will be at full strength for Saturday’s series decider, as Embiid has been upgraded from probable to available. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting center, leaving limited minutes for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona off the bench.

Paul George

PHI Forward #8

Paul George (illness) is available for Saturday’s Game 7 against the Celtics.

Added to the 76ers’ injury report early Saturday afternoon, George has been given the all-clear to play in the series decider. And with the Celtics not having Jayson Tatum (knee), this sets up to be an excellent opportunity for George and the 76ers to complete their rally from a 3-1 series deficit.

Jayson Tatum

BOS Forward-Guard #0
Jayson Tatum (knee) is out for Saturday’s Game 7 against the 76ers.

Tatum’s left leg gave him trouble during Boston’s Game 6 loss to the 76ers, but Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla was confident on Friday that the star forward would be available for Game 7. Added to the injury report early Saturday afternoon, Tatum is now officially out. Jordan Walsh and Baylor Scheierman are potential replacements in the starting lineup, with the former being the more likely choice due to what he brings to the table defensively.

Brandon Ingram

TOR Forward #3
Brandon Ingram (heel) is questionable for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Cavaliers.

Injured during Game 5, Ingram did not play in Friday’s Game 6 victory and wore a walking boot on his right foot. Jamal Shead moved into the starting lineup on Friday and played 33 minutes. The second-year guard should take on a similar workload if Ingram can’t play in the series decider.

Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Pistons.

Isaac hasn’t played in over a month and that’s unlikely to change in Sunday’s Game 7 against the Pistons. His continued absence won’t significantly impact the Magic’s rotation.

Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22
Franz Wagner (calf) is out for Game 7 against the Pistons on Sunday.

Wagner left Game 4 after playing 24 minutes with a calf injury and hasn’t played since. He’s now set to miss Game 7. The tides turned without him in the series as the Magic are in the process of blowing a 3-1 lead to the Pistons. Jamal Cain started Game 6 in Wagner’s place, but had just three points in 20 minutes while Anthony Black had eight points in 34 minutes off the bench.

Kevin Huerter

DET Guard-Forward #27

Kevin Huerter (adductor) is questionable for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Magic.

Huerter has missed the last two games with a strained left adductor. The Pistons have leaned on Cade Cunningham, who saw his highest minute totals of the series in the last two games, without Huerter. That figures to be the case once again in Game 7 on Sunday.

Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch told reporters Anthony Edwards (knee) is still week-to-week.

Edwards suffered a bone bruise and hyperextension in his left knee last week and was expected to miss multiple weeks. While the 24-year-old shooting guard took shots after practice on Saturday, that timeline doesn’t seem to have changed. The Timberwolves are going to start their second round series without Edwards and it’s still unclear when exactly he’ll be back.

Jayson Tatum

BOS Forward-Guard #0

Jayson Tatum (knee) is questionable for Saturday’s Game 7 against the 76ers.

Tatum was added to the injury report Saturday afternoon as questionable with left knee stiffness. It’s not a good sign for the 28-year-old power forward. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla told reporters on Friday that Tatum would play. Now his superstar’s status is legitimately up in the air on the afternoon of Game 7.
