Joe (knee) is available for Sunday's Game 1 against the Suns.

As expected, the Thunder will be at full strength ahead of the postseason after sitting the majority of their rotation in the regular-season finale. Joe averaged 17.9 minutes per game over his final 14 regular-season appearances (all off the bench).

Allen (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Thunder.

Questionable tags have been par for the course for Allen. He was available for Friday's Play-In Tournament game, but he did not leave the bench.

Gilgeous-Alexander (oblique) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's Game 1 against the Suns.

Gilgeous-Alexander was held out of Oklahoma City's final two regular-season games but will return for the start of this first-round series against Phoenix. The superstar point guard averaged 29.0 points, 6.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 31.7 minutes per game over his last 10 regular-season outings.

Williams (foot) is questionable for Game 1 versus the Thunder on Sunday.

Williams missed Friday's Play-In Game win over the Warriors due to a sore left foot, and now he's in danger of sitting out Game 1. If Williams needs to miss another game, Oso Ighodaro should earn another start, and there will be more minutes available for Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn.

McLaughlin (ankle) is out for Sunday's Game 1 against the Trail Blazers.

This is a new issue for the veteran guard. His absence is unlikely to impact San Antonio's rotation.

Harper (thumb) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's Game 1 against the Trail Blazers.

Harper exited San Antonio's regular-season finale due to a left thumb injury, though he's set to return for the start of the playoffs. In seven regular-season appearances (two starts) during April, the rookie first-rounder averaged 13.7 points, 4.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 24.9 minutes per contest.

Kornet (shoulder) is not listed on the Spurs' injury report ahead of Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs against the Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Kornet was dealing with right shoulder soreness toward the tail end of the regular season, which prompted the Spurs to rest the veteran big man against the Nuggets on April 12. Kornet has been cleared to play Sunday and will likely remain the top big man off San Antonio's bench behind Victor Wembanyama.

Wembanyama (ribs) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 1 matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Wembanyama sat out San Antonio's regular-season finale with a minor rib injury, but he should be back and starting Sunday. His return should shift Mason Plumlee back to the second unit.

Diawara will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 against Atlanta, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Diawara drew a rare start in the regular season finale, but he'll retreat to the second unit to open the postseason. He's likely to play a very minor role going forward.

Hukporti will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) skipped the Knicks' regular-season finale, but both those guys will be back in action Saturday, which could make it tough for Hukporti to get into the rotation. As a reserve this season, Hukporti has averaged 1.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per game.
