Doncic (hamstring) will miss at least one more week, per Khobi Price of The California Post.

Doncic is still considered out indefinitely due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, and his status for the first round of the playoffs versus Houston remains in serious doubt. With Austin Reaves (oblique) also out indefinitely, the Lakers will have to lean more heavily on LeBron James, and Luke Kennard should continue to play a more prominent role in the backcourt as well.

Jackson (ankle) participated in Tuesday's practice, per Law Murray of The Athletic.

The fifth-year big man hasn't played since March 27 due to a right ankle sprain, but he appears to be closing in on a return. The Clippers are set to release an official injury report at some point prior to Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Warriors, which should offer more clarity on Jackson's status.

Larsson (leg) is available for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Hornets.

Larsson was upgraded from questionable to probable just minutes before this final update. The forward is expected to play a key role for the Heat, though it will likely be off the bench.

Larsson (leg) is probable for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Hornets.

Larsson was previously considered questionable, so he's trending in the right direction. The forward averaged 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists across 70 regular-season appearances.

Brooks (hand) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's Play-In Game against Portland.

Brooks was held out of the Suns' final regular-season game Sunday against Oklahoma City due to injury management, but he'll be back in action for Tuesday's clash. He averaged 15.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in his final five outings of the regular season.

O'Neale (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Trail Blazers.

O'Neale was inactive for Sunday's regular-season finale due to a knee injury but is cleared for the start of the postseason Tuesday. A starter in 67 of his 78 regular-season appearances, the veteran forward has come off the bench in each of his past six contests and averaged 8.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 22.0 minutes during that span.

Williams (foot) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's Play-In Game against Portland.

Williams received a night off Sunday against the Thunder in the Suns' final game of the regular season, but he's been given the green light to suit up Tuesday. He's appeared in four games since returning from a stress reaction in his left foot and averaged 13.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks over this brief stretch.

Gillespie (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Trail Blazers.

Gillespie took a seat for the final game of the regular season with a shoulder issue, but he'll be ready to roll for Tuesday's matchup. He didn't have much of an impact down the stretch of the regular season, as he averaged 6.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in his last five showings.

Goodwin (ankle) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Trail Blazers.

Goodwin should be fresh for Tuesday's Play-In Game after sitting out the final two games of the regular season while tending to an ankle issue. He averaged 8.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals over 70 regular-season appearances.

Allen (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Trail Blazers.

Allen is the lone Suns player on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup, as he deals with left hamstring soreness. The 30-year-old emerged as a key scoring contributor this season, averaging 16.5 points in 28.8 minutes across 51 regular-season appearances. He has primarily operated off the bench but retained a consistent workload of late, so an absence on his part would likely place more responsibility on Jordan Goodwin against the Trail Blazers.
