Durant (ankle) is listed out for Friday's Game 6 versus the Lakers.

The Rockets previously listed Durant as doubtful for this contest. Houston has all the momentum in this series right now, and if they extend it to seven games, Durant's return could potentially be on the table, depending on how quickly he continues to recover.

Hield supplied five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds over nine minutes during Thursday's 140-89 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

With the Hawks getting blown out of this contest, Hield was able to make his second appearance of the postseason. Following his move from Golden State, Hield wasn't able to carve out a role in Atlanta. He appeared in just seven regular-season contests for an average of 7.3 minutes per game. The veteran is under contract for two more seasons, though the second year is a player option.

Gueye racked up two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in nine minutes during Thursday's 140-89 loss to New York in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Playing in his third NBA season, Gueye was mostly a depth player for the Hawks in 2025-26. Across 77 regular-season contests, he averaged 15.3 minutes per game with 4.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.8 steals on 45.2 percent shooting from the field. The Hawks hold a $2.4 million team option ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Wallace closed Thursday's 140-89 loss to New York in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 10 minutes.

With the Knicks putting this game out of reach early, Wallace made his third appearance of the postseason. He played a combined six minutes in his previous two appearances. Wallace was used sparingly by the Hawks in 2025-26, appearing in 53 regular-season games with averages of 3.5 points, 1.8 assists, 1.1 rebounds and 0.5 steals in 10.1 minutes per contest.

Barlow (coach's decision) didn't receive any playing time Thursday in the 76ers' 106-93 win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series.

A starter for Philadelphia for most of the campaign, Barlow shifted to the bench late in the regular season but didn't notice a dramatic drop in minutes. His playing time has fallen by the wayside in the playoffs, however, with Barlow being a casualty of head coach Nick Nurse trimming down his rotation to eight players. Barlow has now gone unused in two of the first six games of the series and has played single-digit minutes in two of his four appearances.

Vincent racked up zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal over 13 minutes during Thursday's 140-89 loss to New York in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Vincent had a difficult showing off the bench, but hardly anyone on the Hawks got anything going against the Knicks. Following his midseason trade from the Lakers to the Hawks, Vincent saw a very modest role in 24 regular-season contests with averages of 3.9 points, 1.6 assists, 1.1 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in 13.3 minutes per contest.

Kispert recorded four points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Thursday's 140-89 loss to New York in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Kispert wasn't able to find much success off the bench for Atlanta as the season came to a disappointing end. Following his midseason trade from the Wizards to the Hawks, Kispert appeared in 39 regular-season contests with averages of 9.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 18.2 minutes per contest.

Ingram (heel) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's Game 6 against the Cavaliers, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

Ingram played only 11 minutes during Wednesday's Game 5 loss before taking a seat due to right heel inflammation. He was initially listed as questionable for Friday, but the star forward is now expected to sit out Toronto's do-or-die Game 6. A.J. Lawson started the second half in place of Ingram on Wednesday, but the former played only two minutes. Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamison Battle are candidates for increased roles, especially with Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) still sidelined.

Harris (ankle) participated in Friday's morning shootaround, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Harris remains questionable for Game 6 against the Magic on Friday, but he's trending in the right direction. The veteran forward produced 23 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 116-109 victory.

Johnson registered 21 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 140-89 loss to New York in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Johnson was a bright spot for the Hawks in their season-ending loss, while no other player on the roster eclipsed 11 points. The Hawks committed to the young star as their franchise player by trading away Trae Young, and Johnson put together a sensational breakout season. Across 72 regular-season contests, he compiled averages of 22.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.2 minutes per game.
