Huerter (adductor) is questionable for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Huerter is trying to end a three-game absence with a left adductor strain Tuesday. If the sharpshooter is unable to suit up in Game 1, Javonte Green could see an uptick in playing time off the bench for the Pistons.

Dosunmu (calf) is out for Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs on Monday.

The swingman also missed Minnesota's Game 7 win over the Nuggets in Round 1 due to right calf soreness. The Timberwolves are planning to have Anthony Edwards (knee) back in the lineup Monday, which should lessen the blow of Dosunmu's absence. Dosunmu will try to return for Game 2 on Wednesday in San Antonio.

Edwards (knee) is expected to play in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs on Monday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Edwards isn't even two weeks removed from being diagnosed with a bone bruise and hyperextension in his left knee, but he's making a serious push to return sooner than expected. The superstar guard is set to gut it out for the Timberwolves on Monday, but it's unclear whether he'll have any limitations. In any case, Edwards' return should force Mike Conley and Terrence Shannon into lesser roles in Game 1.

Sochan (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's Game 1 against the 76ers.

Sochan was previously listed as probable. However, the forward is not a usual part of New York's rotation, so his potential absence shouldn't have a major impact.

Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said Monday that Williams (hamstring) remains week-to-week, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

"He's progressing according to plan," Daigneault said. "In terms of timeline, we're not going to release that. We'll continue to let you guys know on a week-to-week basis." Williams' status for Game 1 against the Lakers appears to be doubtful at best, but more clarity will be known when the Thunder release their injury report Monday evening.

Jackson-Davis did not see the floor during Sunday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Jackson-Davis' third NBA season was mostly a letdown throughout 2025-26. The big man got lost in the shuffle with Golden State before being traded to Toronto, where he averaged only 1.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 5.0 minutes per tilt over 17 regular-season contests. With Sandro Mamukelashvili a potential departure this offseason, the Raptors could exercise Jackson-Davis' team option for 2026-27 to fortify their center depth.

Dick did not see the floor during Sunday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

With Brandon Ingram (heel) joining the Raptors, Dick took a huge step back in 2025-26. Across 76 regular-season appearances, the third-year sharpshooter averaged a career-low 6.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 14.0 minutes per game. Dick is set to return to Toronto in 2026-27, but it's concerning that he wasn't able to move into a more prominent role despite Ingram's absence in Game 7.

Green did not see the floor in Friday's Game 6 loss to the Lakers.

The veteran was mostly an emergency depth piece for the Rockets in 2025-26. Across 30 regular-season contests, he averaged a mere 5.8 minutes with 2.2 points and 0.8 rebounds.

Davison supplied no counting stats across two minutes during Friday's 98-78 loss to the Lakers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Davison was used very sparingly in his debut season for Houston. Across 28 regular-season contests, he averaged just 7.8 minutes per game with 2.5 points, 1.3 assists and 1.2 rebounds.

Mamukelashvili closed Sunday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT) in nine minutes.

While his minutes began to dip during the playoffs, Mamukelashvili was a pretty big part of Toronto's rotation earlier this year. Over 80 regular-season appearances (13 starts), the fifth-year big man averaged 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 21.9 minutes per game. Mamukelashvili has a player option for 2026-27, and it remains to be seen if he'll settle for that or opt to explore free agency.
