  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Exits with leg injury

    Robinson left Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Hawks with a leg injury, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

    Robinson appeared to land awkwardly on his leg during the first quarter and needed to come out of the game shortly thereafter. He initially made his way back to the bench but was then spotted walking to the locker room to be evaluated. Robinson can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Available for Game 6

    Embiid (abdomen) will play in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Celtics on Thursday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

    As expected, Embiid has been cleared to suit up for Thursday's Game 6 after previously being listed as probable on the team's injury report. He was instrumental in Philly's Game 5 victory, finishing with 33 points, four rebounds, eight assists and one block in 39 minutes.

  • Kyle Anderson SF | MIN

    Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Late addition to injury report

    Anderson is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Nuggets due to illness.

    Anderson will presumably be a true game-time call after being added to the Minnesota injury report a few hours before tipoff. The team should have a better idea of his availability after he goes through warmups.

  • Josh Hart SF | NY

    Knicks' Josh Hart: Good to go Thursday

    Hart (back) has been cleared to play in Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against Atlanta, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    Hart was added to the injury report as questionable due to a lower-back contusion, but the issue isn't serious enough to prevent him from suiting up Thursday evening. He's averaging 9.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 34.6 minutes per game through the first five matchups of the series.

  • Kevin Durant PF | HOU

    Rockets' Kevin Durant: Officially doubtful for Game 6

    Durant (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful for Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs Friday against the Lakers.

    No surprise here, as ESPN's Shams Charania reported earlier Thursday that Durant isn't expected to be available for Game 6 due to a left ankle sprain. If the Rockets extend this first-round series Friday, the superstar forward should be considered questionable at best for Game 7. Reed Sheppard and Tari Eason should continue to see heavy playing time until Durant is cleared to return.

  • Brandon Ingram SF | TOR

    Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Questionable for Game 6

    Ingram is questionable for Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Friday against Cleveland due to right heel inflammation, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com.

    The Raptors will presumably let Ingram go through pregame warmups ahead of Friday's win-or-go-home matchup before updating his status. If Ingram cannot play in Game 6, Toronto would ask Ja'Kobe Walter and Collin Murray-Boyles to help pick up the slack.

  • Jonathan Isaac PF | ORL

    Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Another doubtful tag

    Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Friday against Detroit.

    The Magic are listing Isaac as doubtful with a left knee sprain ahead of a fourth consecutive contest. Jamal Cain is already set to fill in for the injured Franz Wagner (calf) on Friday, so it's possible Tristan da Silva will be needed to pick up a few extra minutes in Game 6.

  • Franz Wagner PF | ORL

    Magic's Franz Wagner: Ruled out for Friday

    Wagner (calf) is out for Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Friday against the Pistons.

    The Magic at least left the door open for Wagner to play through a right calf strain in Game 5, but Orlando is quickly ruling out the star forward a day in advance of a critical Game 6. Jamal Cain drew the spot start in Wednesday's loss to Detroit, while Anthony Black logged 39 minutes, his most of the series, in Game 5.

  • Kevin Huerter SG | DET

    Pistons' Kevin Huerter: Iffy for Game 6

    Huerter (adductor) is questionable for Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Friday against the Magic.

    Huerter is in danger of missing a second consecutive must-win contest for the Pistons on Friday due to a left adductor strain. If the sharpshooter is ultimately downgraded to out, Caris LeVert would likely find himself getting more involved in the backcourt.

  • Tobias Harris PF | DET

    Pistons' Tobias Harris: Questionable for Game 6

    Harris is questionable for Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Friday against the Magic due to a left ankle sprain.

    Harris must have picked up the injury during Detroit's Game 5 win over Orlando on Wednesday. Javonte Green would likely be the direct beneficiary if Harris is unable to suit up for Friday's must-win contest, and Daniss Jenkins could also see more playing time in that case.
