Daniels was ejected from Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Knicks following an altercation, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. He'll finish with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one steal in 15 minutes.

Daniels and Mitchell Robinson got into a scuffle while lining up for a free-throw attempt, and it took players from each team to put an end to it. After the officials reviewed the play, Daniels and Robinson were both tossed from the matchup. Daniels' absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the outcome, as the Knicks owned a commanding 72-22 lead in the second quarter at the time of his ejection.

Robinson (leg) has returned to Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against Atlanta, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Robinson briefly exited Thursday's clash due to an apparent leg injury. He made a quick stop in the locker room and was given the green light to check back in with 9:19 remaining in the half.

Dosunmu (calf) is out for Game 6 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Nuggets on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

This is a devastating loss for the Timberwolves, who will also be without Anthony Edwards (knee), Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) and Kyle Anderson (illness) on Thursday. There should be plenty of minutes available in the backcourt for Terrence Shannon and Bones Hyland in Dosunmu's absence.

Dosunmu (calf) is a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against Denver, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Dosunmu was added to the injury report earlier in the day after experiencing calf soreness. The Timberwolves will presumably wait to see how he feels during warmups before providing an update on his status.

Anderson (illness) is out for Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against Denver, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Anderson was added to the injury report a few hours before tipoff due to an illness, and the team has since reported that he won't be able to suit up. Terrence Shannon and Naz Reid could pick up a few extra minutes in Anderson's absence.

Robinson left Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Hawks with a leg injury, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Robinson appeared to land awkwardly on his leg during the first quarter and needed to come out of the game shortly thereafter. He initially made his way back to the bench but was then spotted walking to the locker room to be evaluated. Robinson can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Embiid (abdomen) will play in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Celtics on Thursday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

As expected, Embiid has been cleared to suit up for Thursday's Game 6 after previously being listed as probable on the team's injury report. He was instrumental in Philly's Game 5 victory, finishing with 33 points, four rebounds, eight assists and one block in 39 minutes.

Anderson is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Nuggets due to illness.

Anderson will presumably be a true game-time call after being added to the Minnesota injury report a few hours before tipoff. The team should have a better idea of his availability after he goes through warmups.

Hart (back) has been cleared to play in Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against Atlanta, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Hart was added to the injury report as questionable due to a lower-back contusion, but the issue isn't serious enough to prevent him from suiting up Thursday evening. He's averaging 9.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 34.6 minutes per game through the first five matchups of the series.

Durant (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful for Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs Friday against the Lakers.

No surprise here, as ESPN's Shams Charania reported earlier Thursday that Durant isn't expected to be available for Game 6 due to a left ankle sprain. If the Rockets extend this first-round series Friday, the superstar forward should be considered questionable at best for Game 7. Reed Sheppard and Tari Eason should continue to see heavy playing time until Durant is cleared to return.
