Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

After nearing a double-double in Friday's loss to the Cavaliers, Robinson won't suit up for the regular-season finale. Precious Achiuwa and P.J. Tucker will likely shoulder the load in the frontcourt in Brooklyn.

Carter (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Carter and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will play, while Franz Wagner (knee) and Paolo Banchero (ankle) will not. It's unclear if Carter will play the entire game after sitting out Friday's win in Indiana for rest purposes.

Okongwu (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Okongwu has been downgraded from questionable to out and will be joined on the sidelines by Georges Niang (rest), Trae Young (Achilles), Clint Capela (hand), Dyson Daniels (rest) and Caris LeVert (knee). They should all be back in action for Atlanta's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Magic on Tuesday.

Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nets.

Robinson joins OG Anunoby (thumb), Jalen Brunson (ankle), Josh Hart (knee) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) as questionable for the regular-season finale. The Knicks are locked into the No. 3 seed, so even if their regulars suit up and play, it's unlikely they'll handle a full workload.

Kelley became a free agent Saturday after his 10-day contract with the Pelicans expired.

After inking his 10-day deal on April 3, Kelley appeared in two games for New Orleans, averaging 3.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 22.0 minutes. New Orleans would have to re-sign Kelley to a rest-of-season contract prior to Sunday's game against the Thunder in order to make him eligible to play in the finale. If the Pelicans don't re-sign Kelley or bring aboard another player to fill the open roster spot, they would have just seven players available.

Richards (elbow) is out for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Richards will end the season on the sidelines and will miss a third straight contest Sunday. The big man was the starting center for the Suns ever since he was acquired from the Hornets midway through the campaign. In 36 appearances (34 starts) with the Suns, Richards averaged 9.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game. Oso Ighodaro and Mason Plumlee will likely shoulder the workload at center in Sunday's matchup against the Kings.

Ayton (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Ayton didn't log a single appearance for the Trail Blazers since the All-Star break. He ends the season with averages of 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game across 40 starts.

Kleber (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Kleber hasn't played for the Lakers since Jan. 25, and he won't be available for the final game of the regular season, either. It's unclear if he'll have a role in the rotation once the playoffs start April 19, but that scenario seems unlikely. He'd operate as one of the backup options at center behind Jaxson Hayes (hand) in a best-case scenario.

Hayes is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a right hand contusion, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

A decision on Hayes' status will be made closer to tip-off. That said, it wouldn't be surprising to see him handle a sizable workload in the regular-season finale since the Lakers will rest most of their rotation regulars. Hayes has been a starter for the team since the trade that sent Anthony Davis (groin) to the Mavericks. He's been averaging 8.1 points and 5.6 boards per game since the All-Star break.

Holmgren (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Just like it happened Friday against the Jazz, the Thunder will rest most of their regular rotation members for this regular-season finale after securing the top seed in the Western Conference and the best record in the league. Holmgren's injury isn't expected to be serious, though, and the big man will likely be available for the start of the playoffs April 19. His absence means the Thunder will likely turn to Jaylin Williams to shoulder the bulk of the load in the frontcourt alongside Kenrich Williams.
