Fox (ankle) is questionable for Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Fox is still dealing with right ankle soreness, though he has yet to miss a game this postseason. If the 28-year-old guard is unable to play Monday, Dylan Harper and Keldon Johnson would be candidates for expanded roles.

Williams (hamstring) is off the injury report for Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.

Williams has missed the last six games due to a left hamstring strain, but he will make his return Monday. In two postseason appearances this season, he has averaged 20.5 points, 5.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 26.0 minutes per contest. It remains to be seen whether he will face any limitations, but he has described himself as "healthy" ahead of Game 1.

Williams (hamstring) was seen putting up shots during Sunday's practice, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Williams hasn't played since April 22 due to a left hamstring strain, though he recently said he's "healthy" ahead of Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs, per Almanza. His participation in practice is a positive sign for his chances of suiting up Monday, and the Thunder are expected to offer an update on his status by Sunday night.

Nance (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pistons.

Nance will be sidelined for Sunday's win-or-go-home clash against Detroit while dealing with an illness. However, the veteran big man has seen little playing time even when healthy, so his absence will not impact the Cavaliers' rotation for Game 7.

Gilgeous-Alexander has been named the 2025-26 NBA Most Valuable Player, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

In doing so, Gilgeous-Alexander became the 14th player in NBA history to win back-to-back MVPs, joining the likes of Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Stephen Curry and fellow Canadian Steve Nash. Gilgeous-Alexander finished the 2025-26 regular season averaging 31.1 points on a career-best 55.3 percent shooting, along with 6.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 threes, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks over 33.2 minutes per game. He'll lead the Thunder into Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against Defensive Player of the Year Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs on Monday.

Nance (illness) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pistons.

Nance is expected to miss a second consecutive contest due to an illness. However, the veteran big man hasn't seen game action since April 23, so his absence wouldn't affect the rotation in Sunday's win-or-go-home matchup.

Huerter (adductor) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.

Huerter is on the injury report again as he continues to manage a left adductor strain that has kept him sidelined for the majority of the second round. While he was cleared to play in Game 5, he saw just three minutes of action off the bench and did not see the floor at all during Friday's Game 6 victory. Given the "all hands on deck" nature of a Game 7, the 27-year-old sharpshooter will likely be active, but he may not see the floor, as he has yet to log meaningful minutes since the first round.

Robinson is listed as questionable for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers on Sunday due to lower-back soreness.

Robinson's back injury prevented him from playing in Game 5 on Wednesday, but he was cleared to play in a reserve role for Game 6 on Friday, when he played 20 minutes and finished with 14 points, two rebounds and two assists in a 115-94 win. Through 12 playoff games, Robinson has averaged 11.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 3.2 threes and 1.3 steals over 30.2 minutes per contest. His potential absence would mean more minutes would be available for Marcus Sasser and Javonte Green.

LeVert (heel) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.

LeVert continues to deal with a lingering right heel contusion that has shadowed him for much of this series. While the injury hasn't forced him to miss any time yet, his status remains uncertain for Sunday's do-or-die matchup. The veteran wing's availability is vital for Detroit's bench depth, especially considering his massive 24-point performance earlier in Game 4. If LeVert is ultimately limited or sidelined Sunday, expect Marcus Sasser and Javonte Green to take on larger roles in the backcourt rotation as the Pistons look to complete their comeback from a 3-2 series deficit.

Clark notched two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in eight minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to San Antonio in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

The 2023 53rd overall pick proved his value as a defensive specialist throughout a 2025-26 campaign in which he appeared in 68 regular-season games, averaging 4.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.7 steals in 13.1 minutes per contest. Known for his elite perimeter disruption, Clark was often deployed as a situational stopper against opposing lead guards during the regular season, but he saw his role vanish in the postseason, barely playing as rotations tightened. As the Timberwolves enter an offseason focused on reshaping the roster around Anthony Edwards, they face a key decision regarding Clark's restricted free agency. While his defensive advanced metrics and affordable price tag make him an attractive candidate for a qualifying offer, his limited offensive game and lack of a playoff role make him a potential casualty of a looming cap crunch and a necessary roster overhaul.
