Wembanyama won't be suspended following his altercation with Naz Reid in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Wembanyama was ejected after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul in the second quarter, but that will be the extent of his punishment. With the series tied at two wins apiece, Wembanyama will be in the lineup for Game 5. Before Sunday's ejection, Wembanyama averaged 21.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 5.0 blocks and 0.9 steals while posting 54/36/88 shooting splits through his first seven career playoff games.

Gobert logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 victory over San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Gobert delivered in the fourth quarter, making key plays that cemented the team's Game 4 victory. Sunday marked Gobert's fourth double-double of the postseason after hitting the benchmark three times against the Nuggets. While shot volume continues to be an issue for the veteran, his rebound totals are keeping him relevant as a reliable fantasy target.

Reid ended with 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 victory over San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Reid injured his ankle early in the fourth quarter but returned to the contest. He was also involved in the game's pivotal news item, as he was on the receiving end of Victor Wembanyama's Flagrant 2 foul, which caused the MVP candidate's ejection. Reid avoided injury despite taking an elbow to the face and managed a solid line that came one rebound shy of a double-double. The series is now guaranteed to last at least two more games, and Reid's high floor will make him a solid DFS target for Game 5.

Hukporti closed Sunday's 144-114 victory over the 76ers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with five points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes.

Hukporti logged double-digit minutes for just the third time this postseason, taking advantage of the fact that the game was done and dusted early. Although his role is likely to remain very limited, it is worth noting that opposing teams have started to go in the direction of intentionally fouling Mitchell Robinson. Should this continue, Hukporti could be called upon in specific situations, given that he is at least somewhat reliable from the free-throw line.

Reid went down in a heap in the fourth quarter before limping to the locker room due to an apparent right ankle injury. Fortunately, he was able to return to the contest shortly thereafter.

Reid went back to the locker room during Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals due to an apparent right ankle injury, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Reid went down in pain early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest after getting rolled up on by Luke Kornet. With Reid out of the lineup, the starting five is likely to play the majority of the remaining minutes of Game 4.

Wembanyama was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports. He'll finish the game with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes.

The star big man was tossed with 8:39 remaining in the second quarter after elbowing Naz Reid in the chin. With Wembanyama unavailable for the remainder of the game, Luke Kornet should help pick up the slack.

Embiid logged 24 points (8-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Embiid was a bright spot for the 76ers in Sunday's season-ending defeat, as he shot a perfect 8-for-8 from the floor. Embiid was clearly laboring throughout the second-round series, missing Game 2 and failing to produce at the level he did in the opening round against Boston. The star big man averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 29.0 minutes per contest in three Eastern Conference Semifinals appearances.

Towns tallied 17 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and two blocks across 20 minutes in Sunday's 144-114 win over the 76ers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

While he put up only seven shots, Towns was extremely efficient on the offensive end and was one of six Knicks players to score in double figures. The star big man also impressed as a playmaker, leading all players in assists. He has taken on a larger facilitating role of late and has dished out at least six dimes in seven straight games. After sweeping the Sixers, Towns and the Knicks will now await the winner of the Cavaliers-Pistons series.

Embiid (hip) is available for Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks.

The star big man has struggled through two appearances in the series, during which he has averaged 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 blocks while shooting 35.7 percent from the field in 30.0 minutes per contest.
