Gueye (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against Miami, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Traore (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Head coach Doc Rivers initially relayed to reporters that Nance was technically available but would not play in Sunday's regular-season finale. However, he was ultimately ruled out on the injury report due to a right knee sprain. Cormac Ryan, Taurean Prince and Andre Jackson should all see an uptick in playing time due to Nance's absence.
