Green (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Clippers.

Green took a seat for Sunday's regular-season finale -- a loss to the Clippers -- but will return to action for Wednesday's win-or-go-home matchup. The veteran big man averaged 6.5 points, 6.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 27.2 minutes per contest over his final six regular-season games.

Adebayo exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets due to an apparent back injury, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Adebayo took a hard fall on his backside and walked gingerly to the locker room early in the second quarter. The star big man can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Post (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Clippers.

Post will miss an eighth consecutive contest due to a right foot injury. However, his absence shouldn't affect the rotation with Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and Draymond Green all healthy.

Leonard (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Warriors, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Leonard was held out of Sunday's regular-season finale -- a win over the Warriors -- but will return to action for Wednesday's win-or-go-home matchup. The star forward averaged 25.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.8 minutes per contest over five regular-season appearances in April.

Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Warriors, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Jackson missed the Clippers' final eight regular-season games due to a right ankle sprain, though he could return for Wednesday's win-or-go-home matchup. If the big man remains sidelined, John Collins and Brook Lopez would be candidates for increased playing time.

Watford (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Magic.

Watford is under the weather but appears likely to suit up for Wednesday's contest. However, he totaled just 15 minutes over three regular-season appearances in April, so he isn't guaranteed to see significant playing time.

Broome is out for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets due to right knee surgery recovery.

The rookie second-rounder underwent surgery in February to repair a torn meniscus, and he remains in recovery mode. Broome has no timetable for a return and can be deemed doubtful for future contests, barring an update from the 76ers to suggest otherwise.

Isaac (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the 76ers.

The oft-injured Isaac last appeared back on March 12, but he'll have an opportunity to overcome a left knee sprain and get back onto the court Wednesday. Isaac would likely have a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available, which means Jamal Cain should remain at least somewhat involved off the bench in any event.

Howard (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the 76ers.

A left ankle sprain cost Howard the final five contests of the regular season, but the third-year forward has a chance to return Wednesday. If Howard cannot give it a go, Tristan da Silva would likely see an uptick in playing time in the frontcourt.

Reaves (oblique) is expected to miss at least one more week, per Khobi Price of The California Post.

Neither Reaves nor Luka Doncic (hamstring) will be re-evaluated this week, leaving both players in serious jeopardy of missing Los Angeles' first-round playoff series against the Rockets. LeBron James will have to do the heavy lifting offensively for the Lakers, and the likes of Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia and Rui Hachimura will also be asked to step up.
