Dosunmu supplied 16 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 126-97 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Dosunmu turned in an efficient performance from inside the arc and finished as Minnesota's fourth-leading scorer while tying the team-high mark in assists. The 26-year-old guard stuffed the stat sheet on the defensive end as well, supplying a game-best three steals and a team-high two blocks. He'll look to continue stuffing the stat sheet in Friday's Game 6 in Minnesota, where the Timberwolves aim to stave off elimination.

Fox (ankle) is good to go for Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus the Timberwolves on Tuesday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Fox got through shootaround without issue, and he threw down a dunk at the end of his pregame routine Tuesday, indicating his readiness for Game 5. Fox has struggled with his shot in this second-round series, converting just 37.9 percent of his field goal attempts.

Harper (knee) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Harper was a late addition to the injury report due to left knee soreness, though he'll suit up in Game 5 as the Spurs aim to retake the series lead. Through four second-round games, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 15.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 24.5 minutes per showing.

LeVert (heel) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.

LeVert was also listed as questionable due to a right heel contusion ahead of Monday's Game 4 loss, though he suited up and recorded 24 points (10-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 31 minutes. If he's ultimately ruled out for Game 5, Daniss Jenkins and Javonte Green would be candidates for increased minutes.

Robinson (back) is questionable for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Wednesday versus Cleveland.

Robinson is bothered by lower-back soreness, and he could test out the issue during pregame warmups Wednesday before the Pistons update his status. Ausar Thompson and Daniss Jenkins would be needed to help pick up the slack if Robinson is ultimately downgraded to out for Game 5.

Huerter (adductor) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.

Huerter is in danger of missing an eighth straight game due to a left adductor strain. If the 27-year-old swingman remains sidelined, Daniss Jenkins will likely continue seeing increased playing time off the bench, especially if Caris LeVert (heel) is downgraded from questionable to out.

The Grizzlies announced in a statement Tuesday that Clarke has passed away at the age of 29.

Clarke was acquired by the Grizzlies with the 21st pick in the 2019 NBA Draft and spent seven seasons in Memphis, including being named to the All-Rookie First Team. In college, Clarke was a standout at San Jose State before transferring to Gonzaga, where he racked up awards. He was named the 2019 WCC Newcomer and Defensive Player of the Year while also taking home First-Team All-WCC and Third-Team All-American honors.

Fox (ankle) will be a game-time call for Tuesday's Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Fox is listed as questionable on the official injury report, though he did participate in the morning shootaround. Presumably, the Spurs will wait to see how his ankle responds to warmups before making a final decision on his status.

Harper (knee) is questionable for Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus Minnesota on Tuesday, per Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network.

The rookie guard is battling left knee soreness, which is making him a late addition to San Antonio's injury report. With De'Aaron Fox (ankle) also iffy for a pivotal Game 5, the Spurs may need Keldon Johnson to step into a much larger role Tuesday. It's worth mentioning that Harper was at Tuesday's morning shootaround, per Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News.

Fox (ankle) participated in Tuesday's morning shootaround, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

Fox is listed as questionable on the official injury report ahead of Game 5 against Minnesota, but his availability at the morning shootaround bodes well for his chances of playing. If he's unable to go, the Spurs could lean more on Dylan Harper (knee) and Keldon Johnson.
