Ighodaro won't start Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against Portland, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.

With Mark Williams (foot) back in the lineup, Ighodaro will slide to the second unit. The second-year center averaged 5.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals across 20.1 minutes per game in 58 regular-season appearances off the bench.

Fleming is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Trail Blazers, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.

As expected, Fleming will fade back to the bench for the Suns' playoff opener after starting and logging 38 minutes in a 135-103 win over the Suns in the regular-season finale Sunday, when the team rested several key rotation players. Fleming averaged 4.1 points and 2.2 rebounds across 12.2 minutes in 55 appearances during the regular season, but he could be on the outside looking in for a rotation spot in the playoffs.

Dunn won't start Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against Portland, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Dunn got the spot start in Sunday's regular-season finale but will retreat to the bench Tuesday. The second-year forward isn't guaranteed significant playing time but could pick up a few extra minutes due to Grayson Allen (hamstring) being out.

Coffey isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Trail Blazers, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.

The Suns are returning to their regular starting lineup, meaning Coffey will retreat to the bench. Coffey averaged 2.7 points and 1.1 rebounds per game in 43 regular-season appearances off the bench between Phoenix and Milwaukee.

Bouyea won't start Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Trail Blazers, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Bouyea got the starting nod in Sunday's regular-season finale, though he'll slide to the second unit Tuesday. With the Suns almost at full strength, the 26-year-old isn't guaranteed to see meaningful burn.

Adebayo (back) won't return to Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets. He'll finish with six points (3-3 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes.

This is a huge loss for the Heat, as Adebayo is one of Miami's go-to options on offense while also operating as the anchor on the defensive end. Without Adebayo, look for Kel'el Ware to continue handling a bigger role in the frontcourt for Miami.

Allen (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Trail Blazers.

Allen will miss a second straight outing due to left hamstring soreness. With the veteran wing sidelined, Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Ryan Dunn are all candidates to see increased playing time.

Grant (calf) is available for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Suns, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Grant will shed his questionable tag and return from a seven-game stint on the sidelines due to a right calf strain to close out the regular season. The veteran forward's return will leave fewer minutes available for reserve players such as Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle.

Adebayo is questionable to return to Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets due to a lower-back injury.

Adebayo took a hard fall early in the second quarter and is in jeopardy of missing the remainder of the contest. Kel'el Ware should help pick up the slack while Adebayo is on the sideline.

Green (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Clippers.

Green took a seat for Sunday's regular-season finale -- a loss to the Clippers -- but will return to action for Wednesday's win-or-go-home matchup. The veteran big man averaged 6.5 points, 6.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 27.2 minutes per contest over his final six regular-season games.
