  • Justin Edwards SF | PHI

    76ers' Justin Edwards: Sees garbage-time run in rout

    Edwards totaled eight points (3-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 16 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    With Sunday's game getting out of hand early, Edwards helped soak up some garbage-time minutes. The forward is under contract for 2026-27 and figures to handle a similar reserve role next year. He finished the regular season with averages of 6.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 15.3 minutes per tilt over 64 games.

  • 76ers' Kelly Oubre: Wraps up solid campaign

    Oubre closed Sunday's 144-114 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and four rebounds over 26 minutes.

    Oubre hit double-digit scoring figures Sunday for the eighth time in 11 postseason games. The veteran forward is an unrestricted free agent this offseason and should garner plenty of attention on the open market. Oubre averaged 14.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 31.5 minutes per tilt over 50 games during the regular season, shooting a career-high 36.0 percent from deep.

  • Tyrese Maxey PG | PHI

    76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Puts up 17 points in Game 4

    Maxey finished Sunday's 144-114 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 17 points (6-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes.

    The 76ers didn't put up much of a fight in Sunday's season-ending loss, but Maxey at least managed to put up at least 17 points for the 10th time in 11 playoff games. The superstar guard took another step forward for Philadelphia in 2025-26, averaging a career-high 28.3 points, 6.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 3.1 three-pointers in 38.0 minutes per tilt over 70 regular-season games.

  • Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Questionable for Monday

    Bryant (back spasms) is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Bryant is just an emergency depth option for the Cavaliers. He has four playoff appearances to his name for an average of 6.3 minutes this postseason.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Bucks taking trade calls

    The Bucks are officially open to trade discussions involving Antetokounmpo (knee), with sides aligned on moving toward a potential separation this offseason, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Milwaukee is expected to maintain a massive asking price centered around elite young talent and draft capital, while rival teams are already preparing aggressive offers ahead of the draft. With Antetokounmpo reportedly still believing "the time has come" to move on, the focus now shifts to which contenders are willing to meet the Bucks' demands. The forward is essentially on an expiring contract with next season guaranteed in his deal before a player option in 2027, so he does hold some leverage in choosing his next destination.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Won't be suspended

    Wembanyama won't be suspended following his altercation with Naz Reid in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Wembanyama was ejected after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul in the second quarter, but that will be the extent of his punishment. With the series tied at two wins apiece, Wembanyama will be in the lineup for Game 5. Before Sunday's ejection, Wembanyama averaged 21.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 5.0 blocks and 0.9 steals while posting 54/36/88 shooting splits through his first seven career playoff games.

  • Spurs' Stephon Castle: Hits for 20 points in Game 4 loss

    Castle notched 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Castle delivered a balanced line during the loss, although De'Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper led the team with 24 points each. Castle was expected to be a primary beneficiary following Victor Wembanyama's ejection, but the bulk of the missing production went to Harper. Wembanyama's return in Game 5 will set things back into a normal rhythm for the Spurs, and Castle's steady production will likely continue. Over nine postseason games, Castle is averaging 18.9 points, 6.1 assists and 4.3 rebounds.

  • De'Aaron Fox PG | SA

    Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Pours in 24 points during loss

    Fox accumulated 24 points (8-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Fox matched his second-best total of the playoffs in the Game 4 defeat, as the backcourt led the way for the Spurs following Victor Wembanyama's ejection. The momentum swung back in Fox's direction in the never-ending production battle with Stephon Castle, as deciding between the two standouts is a frequent test for DFS players. Both of them produced high totals in the loss, but Fox matched Dylan Harper to lead the team in scoring.

  • Dylan Harper PG | SA

    Spurs' Dylan Harper: Shines with 24 points from bench

    Harper racked up 24 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three steals over 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Harper helped fill the gap left by Victor Wembanyama's ejection with seven rebounds to go along with a solid shooting performance. Harper has emerged as one of San Antonio's best backups, propping up the backcourt when De'Aaron Fox or Stephon Castle needs a breather. The team employed a small-ball lineup that included Harper, Fox and Castle after Wembanyama's exit, which heightened Harper's involvement.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Nets 14 points in crucial win

    McDaniels notched 14 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds in 41 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 victory over the Spurs in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    McDaniels' production has suffered since Anthony Edwards' return to action, and a below-average shooting night kept him in check during Game 4. Despite the downtick, McDaniels has demonstrated a solid floor throughout the postseason, averaging 16.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 10 playoff contests.
