Ryan contributed 22 points (8-20 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to Philadelphia.

Although Ryan's shot was slightly off, his 20 shot attempts and agile assist total earned him the first double-double of his NBA career. The UNC rookie has performed quite well since moving to the parent club last month, and he made the most of his two starting opportunities with averages of 25.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals over the two-game span. The Bucks will experience a major shake-up from top to bottom in the offseason, and Ryan will likely be part of a youth-based rebuild.

Drummond registered 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 victory over Milwaukee.

Drummond finished the regular season with a double-double, logging 22 minutes of court time after the team sent Adem Bona to the bench. Bona's benching seems to indicate that the youngster will be expected to lead the way under the basket against the Magic on Tuesday, as there is no timetable for Embiid's (abdomen) return from appendicitis. Even if Bona starts, Drummond's extensive postseason experience will come in handy against stalwart big men like Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter. Drummond averaged 6.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 blocked shots during his 14th pro season.

Grimes ended with 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 win over Milwaukee.

With most of the first unit taking a seat in the second half, Grimes was able to take over the backcourt and show his stuff. Grimes would likely be a starter for most teams in the league, and he displayed his playmaking in 19 starting appearances this season. We may not see much from Grimes in Tuesday's Play-In Game against Orlando, but he'll provide solid second-unit support when needed. Grimes finishes the regular season with averages of 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 0.9 steals over 75 games played.

Maxey produced 21 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 win over Milwaukee.

Maxey put together a team-leading 21 points with only 27 minutes of court time. The 76ers wisely let Maxey sit after a productive first half, as the team needs the elite point guard at his best in Tuesday's Play-In Game against Orlando. Maxey enjoyed a spectacular sixth season, averaging 28.3 points, 6.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 steals over 70 games.

Ingles chipped in 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 victory over the Pelicans.

Ingles drew the start Sunday and contributed across the board, knocking down three triples and reaching the 10-rebound mark to record his first double-double of the season. It was a positive way for the veteran to close the regular season after playing a limited role in the Timberwolves' rotation, as he'll finish averaging 1.5 points and 1.3 assists in 5.7 minutes across 27 appearances.

Peter totaled three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Pistons.

Peter ended his season with an underwhelming performance, failing to take advantage of a situation that will likely disappear heading into the 2026-27 campaign. Assuming Indiana makes a push next season, it's hard to see Peter playing any sort of meaningful role. In nine appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 7.6 points, 1.1 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 18.9 minutes per contest.

Shannon closed with 26 points (6-18 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 14-18 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 victory over the Pelicans.

Shannon was inefficient from the field and failed to knock down a three-pointer, but he got to the charity stripe consistently and grinded his way to a team-best 26 points. Seeing heavy minutes of late, the 25-year-old has eclipsed the 20-point mark in each of the Timberwolves' past three games. He'll close the regular season averaging 5.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes across 43 appearances.

Potter totaled 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to Detroit.

Potter recorded his third straight double-double, and his fourth in the past five games. After a slow start to the season, Potter was able to carve out a regular spot in the rotation, averaging 11.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 20.0 minutes per contest over his final 25 games of the season.

Huff recorded 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal in 24 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 133-121 loss to Detroit.

Huff closed the season with a strong defensive performance, recording at least five blocks for the second straight game. Although his role has fluctuated, seemingly on a nightly basis, his defensive output can't be ignored. Through 82 games, he averaged 1.9 blocks per game, putting him in the top five for that category.

Cunningham provided seven points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and 14 assists across 22 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pacers.

Despite having very little to play for, Detroit opted to play the majority of its roster, including Cunningham, who still managed to hand out a team-high 14 assists. Having recently returned from a collapsed lung, it appears as though Cunningham is ready to go for the playoffs, having played 25.3 minutes per game in his past three appearances since getting back on the floor.
