  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Ejected Sunday

    Wembanyama was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports. He'll finish the game with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes.

    The star big man was tossed with 8:39 remaining in the second quarter after elbowing Naz Reid in the chin. With Wembanyama unavailable for the remainder of the game, Luke Kornet should help pick up the slack.

    Thunder's Jalen Williams: Sidelined for Game 4

    Williams (hamstring) is out for Monday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Lakers.

    Williams will miss a sixth straight game due to a left hamstring strain he sustained in Game 2 of the team's first-round series against the Suns. The Thunder could close out the second-round series with a victory, giving Williams extra rest time ahead of the Western Conference Finals. In the interim, Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace are candidates for expanded roles.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Exits game, available to return

    Edwards (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs but is available to return, per the broadcast.

    Edwards limped to the locker room with 2:41 remaining in the opening quarter. However, the superstar guard returned to the bench shortly thereafter and has been cleared to return.

  • Mike Conley PG | MIN

    Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Slotted to bench

    Conley won't start Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs.

    Conley has started the last five games, but he will come off the bench with Ayo Dosunmu entering the first five Sunday. Conley played just four minutes in Game 3 and 16 minutes in Game 2 despite starting both contests.

  • Ayo Dosunmu PG | MIN

    Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Starting Game 4

    Dosunmu will start Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs.

    Dosunmu will get the starting nod for the second time this postseason, pushing Mike Conley to the second unit. Dosunmu logged 32 minutes in Friday's Game 3 loss, during which he tallied 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists and a steal off the bench.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Valiant effort in defeat

    Embiid logged 24 points (8-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Embiid was a bright spot for the 76ers in Sunday's season-ending defeat, as he shot a perfect 8-for-8 from the floor. Embiid was clearly laboring throughout the second-round series, missing Game 2 and failing to produce at the level he did in the opening round against Boston. The star big man averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 29.0 minutes per contest in three Eastern Conference Semifinals appearances.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in victory

    Towns tallied 17 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and two blocks across 20 minutes in Sunday's 144-114 win over the 76ers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    While he put up only seven shots, Towns was extremely efficient on the offensive end and was one of six Knicks players to score in double figures. The star big man also impressed as a playmaker, leading all players in assists. He has taken on a larger facilitating role of late and has dished out at least six dimes in seven straight games. After sweeping the Sixers, Towns and the Knicks will now await the winner of the Cavaliers-Pistons series.

  • Kevin Huerter SG | DET

    Pistons' Kevin Huerter: Iffy for Game 4

    Huerter (adductor) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.

    Huerter is in danger of missing a seventh consecutive contest due to a left adductor strain. If the 27-year-old swingman remains sidelined, Daniss Jenkins will likely continue seeing increased playing time off the bench.

  • Caris LeVert SG | DET

    Pistons' Caris LeVert: Questionable for Monday

    LeVert is questionable for Monday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers due to a right heel contusion.

    LeVert has seen a varying role throughout the postseason thus far, and he could miss Monday's game due to a heel issue. In the series, he is averaging 4.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 13.0 minutes per contest. If he is unable to go, Daniss Jenkins and Javonte Green could see extra minutes off the bench.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Good to go Sunday

    Embiid (hip) is available for Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks.

    Embiid will shake off his probable tag due to right hip soreness and suit up in Sunday's do-or-die matchup. The star big man has struggled through two appearances in the series, during which he has averaged 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 blocks while shooting 35.7 percent from the field in 30.0 minutes per contest.
