Hartenstein (calf) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 1 meeting with the Suns.

Hartenstein skipped the Thunder's final two regular-season games to rest his calf, but he'll be back in action Sunday. Hartenstein should start, which will push Branden Carlson back to the second unit.

Williams (foot) is questionable for Game 1 versus the Thunder on Sunday.

Williams missed Friday's Play-In Game win over the Warriors due to a sore left foot, and now he's in danger of sitting out Game 1. If Williams needs to miss another game, Oso Ighodaro should earn another start, and there will be more minutes available for Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn.

Kornet (shoulder) is not listed on the Spurs' injury report ahead of Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs against the Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Kornet was dealing with right shoulder soreness toward the tail end of the regular season, which prompted the Spurs to rest the veteran big man against the Nuggets on April 12. Kornet has been cleared to play Sunday and will likely remain the top big man off San Antonio's bench behind Victor Wembanyama.

Wembanyama (ribs) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 1 matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Wembanyama sat out San Antonio's regular-season finale with a minor rib injury, but he should be back and starting Sunday. His return should shift Mason Plumlee back to the second unit.

Hukporti will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) skipped the Knicks' regular-season finale, but both those guys will be back in action Saturday, which could make it tough for Hukporti to get into the rotation. As a reserve this season, Hukporti has averaged 1.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per game.

Bradley won't start Saturday's Game 1 against the Knicks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Bradley started Atlanta's regular-season finale but will slide to the second unit Saturday. The big man isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time with the team almost at full strength.

Duren (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's Game 1 against the Magic.

Duren sat out Detroit's regular-season finale due to right knee injury management, though he's good to go for the start of the playoffs. The star big man averaged 19.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.6 blocks in 29.6 minutes per contest over five regular-season outings in April.

Queta (toe) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's Game 1 against the 76ers.

Queta missed Boston's regular-season finale due to a right toe sprain but is good to go for the start of the playoffs. Over six regular-season appearances in April, the big man averaged 13.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 blocks in 26.3 minutes per showing.

Vucevic (finger) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Game 1 against the 76ers on Sunday.

Vucevic missed 14 consecutive games from March 8 to April 3 due to a fractured right index finger. He returned to action April 5 and appeared in four games before sitting out the Celtics' regular-season finale against the Magic this past Sunday, and he'll be available for the start of Boston's playoff run. Vucevic will likely serve as the top big man off the bench behind starting center Neemias Queta.

Beringer is not in Minnesota's starting lineup against Denver in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs Saturday.

Beringer started in the final two games of the regular season, and in this past Sunday's 132-126 win over the Pelicans, he finished with 24 points, 13 rebounds, two assists and a whopping seven blocks over 31 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role for Game 1 and provide depth at center behind Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid.
