Robinson, who underwent surgery on his broken right pinky, fully intends to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

When the injury was first announced, no timetable was given. However, there seems to be much more optimism about his status following the surgery, and Robinson is planning to wear a brace on his hand moving forward. Across 13 playoff games, Robinson is averaging 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per contest.

Fox totaled five points (1-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and seven assists across 26 minutes during Thursday's 118-91 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

Fox went 1-for-9 from the field, continuing what has been a lean run of production, particularly on the offensive end. In four games over the past week, he has averaged just 10.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 33.3 percent from the field and 71.4 percent from the line. Despite his struggles, San Antonio is now only one win away from advancing to the NBA Finals. A proven clutch performer, the hope is that Fox will turn things around when the two teams meet in Game 7 on Saturday.

Harper amassed 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes during Thursday's 118-91 win over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

Harper scored in double figures for the first time in the past four games, providing the Spurs with a much-needed impact off the bench. His 18-point output matched what he was able to do in the previous three games combined, highlighting his recent struggles. With Game 7 taking place in Oklahoma City on Saturday, Harper will look to build on this performance, as San Antonio looks to advance to the NBA Finals against the Knicks.

McCain ended with 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Thursday's 118-91 loss to San Antonio in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

McCain scored in double figures for the fourth time in the past five games, continuing to play a substantial role in the absence of Ajay Mitchell (calf). McCain has now started back-to-back games, averaging 16.5 points and 2.5 three-pointers in those outings. Thursday's loss leaves the series tied at 3-3, with Game 7 tabled for Saturday. If Mitchell is once again ruled out, expect to see McCain in an elevated role.

Williams posted one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one assist across 10 minutes during Thursday's 118-91 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

Williams was limited to just 10 minutes in his return from a three-game absence due to a lingering left hamstring injury. While it was encouraging to see him back on the floor, it is clear that Williams is far from 100 percent. Thursday's loss means the two teams will face off for the final time this postseason in Saturday's Game 7 in Oklahoma City. If Williams is cleared to play, the hope would be that he can have more of an impact, even if it is in limited minutes.

Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 15 points (6-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and four assists across 28 minutes in Thursday's 118-91 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

Gilgeous-Alexander had only 15 points Thursday, his lowest-scoring performance of the postseason. He also failed to make a shot from deep for the third time during the series versus San Antonio. With both teams looking to advance to the NBA Finals to face the Knicks, the Spurs and Thunder will meet in Oklahoma City for Game 7 on Saturday. In three home games so far during the Western Conference Finals, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 28.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 10.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 2.7 steals over 42.2 minutes per contest.

Wembanyama finished with 28 points (10-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks across 28 minutes in Thursday's 118-91 win over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

Wembanyama had 20 points and went 0-for-5 from deep in the 127-114 Game 5 loss to the Thunder on Tuesday. However, the 22-year-old played much better in Game 6, scoring 28 points while draining 44.4 percent of his attempts from behind the three-point line. With the series tied, both clubs will head to Oklahoma City for Game 7 on Saturday. In three road games during the Western Conference Finals, Wembanyama has averaged 27.3 points, 15.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.3 steals over 41.3 minutes per contest.

Williams (hamstring) won't start in Thursday's Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals versus San Antonio, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Williams is officially cleared to suit up Thursday after missing the last three games. However, with Jared McCain remaining in the starting lineup, it's unknown how much action Williams will see from the bench in Game 6.

Williams (hamstring) is available for Thursday's Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals versus the Spurs, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Williams tweaked his hamstring in Game 2 and didn't suit up for the last three games of the series. However, after going through his usual pregame routine, he will return for Game 6, likely moving Jared McCain back to the bench.

Robinson (finger) was diagnosed with a broken right pinky Thursday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports. He is without a return timetable.

Robinson averaged 4.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks across 13.3 minutes during the Eastern Conference Finals versus Cleveland. Despite the injury, it appears the door isn't shut regarding Robinson's potential return at some point during the NBA Finals, although the Knicks may be forced to play small-ball lineups or allow Ariel Hukporti to see more action.
