Porzingis accumulated 11 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one rebound in 15 minutes during Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game loss to the Suns.

Porzingis was mostly a non-factor, playing just 15 minutes as Golden State was sent packing by Phoenix. Following a midseason trade from the Hawks, Porzingis managed to stay relatively healthy despite continuing to deal with an ongoing illness. In 17 games following the trade, Porzingis averaged 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers.

Tillman ended with two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds over seven minutes during Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.

Tillman made a rare appearance in the rotation, albeit only during garbage time. Tillman played for both the Celtics and the Hornets this season, although he struggled to have any sort of tangible impact. In 31 total appearances, he averaged just 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 6.1 minutes per game.

Ighodaro will start Friday's Play-In Tournament game against the Warriors.

With Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, Ighodaro will get the starting nod in Friday's win-or-go-home matchup. Over 24 regular-season starts, the big man averaged 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 26.9 minutes per game.

Porzingis (ankle) is available for Friday's Play-In Tournament game against the Suns, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Porzingis will shed his questionable tag and suit up in Friday's win-or-go-home matchup. Over 28 minutes in Wednesday's Play-In Tournament win over the Clippers, the big man posted 20 points, five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal.

Williams (foot) is out for Friday's play-in game against the Warriors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic, head coach Jordan Ott said that Williams' foot flared up during the second half of Tuesday's loss to Portland, which factored into the big man sitting out the fourth quarter. Oso Ighodaro will have a chance to start Friday with Williams out, and there will be more minutes available for Rasheer Fleming and Khaman Maluach. Ryan Dunn could also be more involved in the rotation sans Williams.

Hayes (foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 matchup with the Rockets.

Hayes missed L.A.'s final four regular-season games, but he'll return to the floor Saturday. With Hayes back in the mix, Maxi Kleber could drop from the rotation entirely.

Sengun (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Lakers.

Sengun took a seat for Houston's regular-season finale but is set to return to action for the start of the playoffs. Over six regular-season appearances in April, the star big man averaged 18.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists across 30.7 minutes per contest.

Reid (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets.

Reid missed the Timberwolves' final two regular-season games due to right shoulder injury maintenance, though he's set to return for the start of the playoffs. Over five regular-season appearances (one start) in April, the big man averaged 13.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 26.4 minutes per outing.

Gobert (rest) is off the injury report for Game 1 on Saturday versus Denver.

The veteran center is ready to play at the start of the postseason after missing Minnesota's regular-season finale. Over 76 contests in 2025-26, Gobert averaged 10.9 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 31.3 minutes per game.

Okongwu (finger) is off the injury report for Game 1 on Saturday versus the Knicks.

After sitting out Atlanta's regular-season finale, Okongwu is good to go for the beginning of the postseason Saturday. The sixth-year big man enjoyed perhaps his finest season in 2025-26, averaging 15.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals in 31.0 minutes per contest across 74 contests.
