  • Bobi Klintman PF | DET

    Bobi Klintman: Waived by Detroit

    The Pistons waived Klintman on Tuesday.

    The 2024 second-rounder will have to explore other opportunities after being let go by the Pistons. Klintman appeared in just 12 regular-season games for Detroit this season, averaging 1.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 5.9 minutes per contest.

  • Naji Marshall SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Exits early Tuesday

    Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers and did not return, finishing with six points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three steals and two rebounds across 20 minutes.

    Marshall struggled on the offensive end Tuesday before taking a hard fall and limping to the locker room after attempting to contest a shot in the fourth quarter. It's unclear exactly what the 28-year-old forward is dealing with, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him appear on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game in Phoenix.

    Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Exits to locker room

    Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    While it's unclear exactly why he headed back to the locker room, Marshall contested a shot and took a hard fall before limping off the court. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

  • Adou Thiero SF | LAL

    Lakers' Adou Thiero: Returns vs. OKC

    Thiero (face) returned to Tuesday's game against the Thunder with 7:54 remaining in the third quarter, per the broadcast.

    Thiero took an elbow to the face in the second quarter and immediately headed back to the locker room. However, he was eventually cleared to return and will likely continue to play meaningful minutes the rest of the way for the banged-up Lakers.

    Lakers' Adou Thiero: Leaves for locker room

    Thiero exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to an apparent facial injury, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Thiero caught an elbow to the face from Chet Holmgren and headed straight back to the locker room with a towel on his face. Thiero should be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

  • Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Minimal output in return

    Quickley (foot) closed with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 121-95 win over the Heat.

    Tuesday's game was Quickley's first appearance since March 22, with the sixth-year guard returning from an eight-game absence due to right foot plantar fasciitis. He ended up seeing less playing time than Jamal Shead (24 minutes), but that may have been more due to the Raptors' dominant lead through three quarters, resulting in the starters resting for the fourth frame. Quickley may have his minutes limited over the final few games of the regular season as the Raptors gear up for a postseason run.

  • Brandon Ingram SF | TOR

    Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Efficient in Tuesday's win

    Ingram finished Tuesday's 121-95 victory over the Heat with 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes.

    Ingram scored all 23 of his points through the first three quarters (including 15 in the first half) to finish as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Scottie Barnes (25). It was an encouraging scoring performance out of Ingram, who has scored 20-plus points in just two of his last nine outings despite connecting on 49.6 percent of his field-goal attempts over that span. The Raptors will need Ingram's best over the final week of the regular season as the team looks to avoid the Play-In Tournament.

  • Jayson Tatum PF | BOS

    Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Playing Thursday, likely out Friday

    Tatum said after Tuesday's 113-102 win over the Hornets that he will play Thursday against the Knicks, meaning he will likely sit out Friday's game against the Pelicans for right Achilles injury management, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

    Tatum was Boston's second-leading scorer Tuesday, finishing with 23 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT) to go with five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes. The star forward is set to face the Knicks on Thursday at Madison Square Garden, where he ruptured his Achilles in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals last spring. He has yet to be cleared to play both halves of back-to-back sets, so Tatum is expected to sit out Friday's contest before returning to action for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Magic.

  • Tyler Herro PG | MIA

    Heat's Tyler Herro: Muted performance in return

    Herro closed Tuesday's 121-95 loss to Toronto with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 30 minutes.

    Herro returned to the court for Tuesday's game after missing Saturday's win over the Wizards while attending to a personal matter. His eight attempted field goals were a season low, but he still finished as the Heat's second-leading scorer while co-leading the team in assists with Davion Mitchell. Since the All-Star break, Herro has averaged 20.8 points, 4.7 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 steals over 31.7 minutes per game.

  • Andrew Wiggins SF | MIA

    Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Efficient night vs. Toronto

    Wiggins recorded 24 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 121-95 loss to the Raptors.

    Wiggins was one of the lone bright spots for the Heat during Tuesday's blowout loss, leading the team in both scoring and three-point makes. It was the second straight game that the veteran forward connected on at least four three-pointers and the 10th time this season. Since missing eight games in March due to a left toe injury, Wiggins has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.8 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks over 28.4 minutes per contest.
