NBA Playoff Highlights

Rotoworld

Kevin Durant

HOU Forward #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Kevin Durant (knee) is out for Saturday’s Game 1 against the Lakers.

Initially questionable, Durant will miss Saturday’s series-opener due to a right knee contusion. During his pregame availability, Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said that he hopes this is a one-game issue. With no Durant, Reed Sheppard will move into the starting lineup after coming off the bench the last time that Houston was close to full strength.

Jarred Vanderbilt

LAL Forward #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jarred Vanderbilt (finger) won’t play against the Thunder on Thursday.

Vanderbilt’s dislocated finger, suffered early in Tuesday’s series opener, will keep him on the sidelines for Game 2. His absence removes a versatile defender from the Lakers’ rotation, leaving more minutes off the bench available for Jake LaRavia. Vanderbilt tallied just six minutes in the Game 1 loss.

Luke Kennard

LAL Guard #10

Luke Kennard (neck) is available to play on Thursday against the Thunder.

Kennard’s availability gives the Lakers another scoring option off the bench against a Thunder defense that has overwhelmed teams throughout its title defense. The three-point specialist hasn’t had much success since the beginning of the Lakers’ first-round series against the Rockets. He’s shot 2-of-10 from deep and totaled only 18 points over the last four games.

Ayo Dosunmu

MIN Guard #13
Ayo Dosunmu (heel) is questionable to play against the Spurs on Friday.

Despite a strong start to the postseason, Dosunmu has encountered bad injury luck recently. After returning from a calf injury to play in Game 2, he was limited to 10 minutes and exited early with heel pain. If able to play on Friday, his potential as a scorer and quality defender has been proven repeatedly during his time with the Timberwolves. Terrence Shannon Jr. should remain in a big role if Dosunmu doesn’t take the floor.

Kevin Huerter

DET Guard-Forward #27
Kevin Huerter (adductor) has been ruled out of Thursday’s contest against the Cavaliers.

Thursday’s absence marks the fifth straight for Huerter, who last played in Game 4 of the first-round series against the Magic. The Pistons have won each of the four games that Hurter has missed, with Thursday’s contest giving them a chance to earn a fifth straight while taking a 2-0 lead. Expect Daniss Jenkins and Javonte Green to remain important contributors off the bench in Huerter’s absence.

Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5
Sam Merrill (hamstring) will not play in Thursday’s game against the Pistons.

Merrill logged just seven minutes in the Game 1 loss and didn’t register a single point. Still, the Cavaliers’ depth takes a bit of a hit in regard to three-point shooting and overall scoring. In his absence, Max Strus, Dennis Schroder, and Jaylon Tyson should see more minutes.

Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable to play against the Spurs on Friday.

One of the silver linings of Wednesday’s blowout loss was that Edwards only logged 24 minutes, leaving him without too heavy a workload. If he is able to take the floor again on Friday, perhaps he’ll be able to overcome a rough Game 2 and perform more like his usual self. If ruled out, Minnesota has performed well this postseason when Edwards has missed time. However, the Wolves are certainly a more dangerous team when he’s available.

Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center-Forward #23

Mitchell Robinson (illness) is probable for Friday’s Game 3 against the 76ers.

Added to the Knicks’ injury report on Wednesday afternoon, Robinson was held out of the Game 2 victory. His absence, combined with Karl-Anthony Towns getting into early foul trouble, led to Ariel Hukporti and Jeremy Sochan combining to play eight minutes, and the Knicks going without a true center at times. Robinson’s status for Game 3 will have added importance due to OG Anunoby’s right hamstring injury.

Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3
Josh Hart (thumb) is questionable for Friday’s Game 3 against the 76ers.

Hart sprained his left thumb during the second half of Wednesday’s Game 2 victory, returning to action after a trip to the locker room for a tape job. If he’s unable to play on Friday, the Knicks may have to rely more on Landry Shamet, who has been out of the rotation for most of the postseason.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21
Joel Embiid (ankle, hip) is questionable for Friday’s Game 3 against the Knicks.

Ankle and hip injuries kept Embiid out of Wednesday’s Game 2 defeat. While Andre Drummond started, the 76ers were more effective with either Adem Bona or Dominick Barlow at the five, specifically to deal with the two-man game between New York’s Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. If Embiid remains out, expect to see more of Bona and Barlow.

Charles Lee

CHA Head Coach

Hornets signed Charles Lee to a contract extension.

While the Hornets missed out on a playoff berth in Lee’s second season at the helm, the team was much-improved, especially after the calendar flipped to 2026. From January 3 onward, Charlotte went 33-15, finishing the regular season with a 44-38 record. Kon Knueppel finished second in Rookie of the Year voting, while multiple players made notable strides, including LaMelo Ball.
