Wagner (calf) is out for Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Pistons, according to Orlando Magic Daily.

Wagner was diagnosed with a right calf strain Tuesday and was unable to shed his questionable tag for this contest. Additionally, he was unable to participate in the morning shootaround. Anthony Black, Jamal Cain and Tristan da Silva are candidates to see more minutes with this news.

Hart (back) is questionable for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Hawks on Thursday.

Hart is nursing a lower-back contusion, though it would be pretty surprising if he isn't able to suit up for a pivotal contest. If he's unable to play, Jordan Clarkson and Miles McBride could see more playing time in the backcourt.

Embiid (abdomen) is listed as probable for Thursday's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against Boston.

Embiid underwent an appendectomy earlier in the month and continues to pop up on the injury report after returning to action in Sunday's Game 4 loss. However, the star big man is likely to suit up in Thursday's win-or-go-home matchup. Over two first-round appearances, he has averaged 29.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 36.5 minutes per contest.

Hyland is questionable for Game 6 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Nuggets on Thursday due to left knee soreness.

It's a new injury for Hyland, who shapes up as a true game-time decision for Minnesota's must-win contest. The combo guard would be in line for a fairly big role in the absences of Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles), but the likes of Mike Conley, Terrence Shannon and Kyle Anderson would be needed to help pick up the slack if Hyland is also sidelined Thursday.

Wesley produced no counting stats in one minute during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

After landing a one-year deal with the Trail Blazers last offseason, Wesley struggled to carve out much of a role in 2025-26. Over 31 regular-season outings, the fourth-year guard averaged 4.8 points, 2.0 assists and 1.3 rebounds in a career-low 11.6 minutes per game. Whether it be with Portland or elsewhere, Wesley figures to serve as backcourt depth again in 2026-27.

Murray finished with no counting stats in one minute during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

While he closed the season in a muted role, Murray was serviceable for Portland in 2025-26. The third-year swingman made 15 starts during the regular season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals in a career-high 23.4 minutes per tilt covering 57 regular-season games. Murray figures to play a similar role for the Trail Blazers next year.

Hansen contributed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in one minute during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Hansen's role with Portland was sparse during his rookie year, as he also made 14 G League appearances for the Rip City Remix. Overall, the 2025 first-rounder averaged 2.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 7.0 minutes per contest over 43 regular-season games with the Trail Blazers. Robert Williams is an impending unrestricted free agent this summer, however, so Hansen could have an opportunity during training camp to claim the top backup center role behind Donovan Clingan.

Krejci provided two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Krejci, who joined the Trail Blazers in a midseason trade with the Hawks, appeared in 19 regular-season contests with his new team. He saw 19.2 minutes per contest, posting averages of 7.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 three-pointers on 40.5 percent shooting from the field.

Sharpe finished with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) across six minutes during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Sharpe was basically a non-factor in this series with an average of 13.4 minutes across five games. However, he had a solid regular season, posting averages of 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals across 50 appearances. With the offseason coming up, Sharpe will be looking to get back to 100 percent health so he can hit the ground running during training camp.

Thybulle ended with two points (1-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to San Antonio in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

After playing 15 games in 2024-25, injuries took their toll again in 2025-26 to limit Thybulle to 30 regular-season appearances. He averaged just 16.0 minutes per contest to go with 5.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 2.0 steals on 43.3 percent shooting from the field. The veteran is now set to hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent.
