  • Kevin Durant HOU PF
    Rockets' Kevin Durant: Considered game-to-game
    3h ago

    Head coach Ime Udoka stated postgame Sunday that Durant's status is game-to-game due to his left ankle injury, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

    Durant has missed the last two games due to a left ankle sprain and bone bruise, but there is a chance he returns in the first round, according to Udoka. His next opportunity to suit up comes in Game 5 on Wednesday. This is a positive development as the Rockets look to continue their comeback from what was an 0-3 series deficit before Sunday's win.

    Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Ejected from Game 4
    4h ago

    Holiday was ejected from Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Holiday got tangled up with Adou Thiero under the basket late in the fourth quarter before things got a little chippy, leading to both of them getting ejected. He concludes the contest with nine points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one assist, one steal and a block in 18 minutes.

    Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Limited again in Game 4 loss
    4h ago

    Clingan chipped in five points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds and one block over 14 minutes during Sunday's 114-93 loss to the Spurs in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Clingan continues to provide modest production, seemingly no match for the newly crowned Defensive Player of the Year, Victor Wembanyama. Through four games, Clingan has averaged just 6.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 0.8 blocks. If Portland is to force the series to a sixth game, Clingan is going to have to come up with some out-of-the-box solutions.

  • Deni Avdija POR SG
    Trail Blazers' Deni Avdija: Team-high 26 points not enough
    5h ago

    Avdija logged 26 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 114-93 loss to the Spurs in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Avdija continues to do everything he can for the Trail Blazers, although, once again, they fell short of victory. He has clearly been Portland's most consistent player, getting it done on both ends of the floor on a nightly basis. If the team has hopes of extending the series to a sixth game, Avdija is going to have to deliver another masterclass, this time on the road in San Antonio.

    Ayton has been ejected from Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Rockets, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

    Ayton was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul for a hit to the head while guarding Alperen Sengun. He concludes the contest with 19 points (9-12 FG, 1-1 FT) and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes. Jaxson Hayes figures to see more time with Ayton out.

    Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Grabs 15 boards in loss

    Allen closed with three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 93-89 loss to the Raptors in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Allen pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds, although he also scored his fewest points since the start of the regular season to round out a disappointing afternoon for Cleveland. Having now suffered back-to-back losses, the Cavaliers will head home, looking to turn things around and regain the series lead.

  • Victor Wembanyama SA C
    Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Stuffs stat sheet in win
    5h ago

    Wembanyama recorded 27 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, seven blocks, four steals and three assists in 34 minutes during Sunday's 114-93 win over the Trail Blazers in Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series.

    The Defensive Player of the Year made an immediate impact in his return from a concussion, anchoring both ends of the floor as the Spurs erased a 17-point halftime deficit to take a 3-1 series lead. Wembanyama's presence was especially felt defensively, where his seven blocks and four steals disrupted Portland's rhythm and helped fuel a dominant second-half turnaround. While De'Aaron Fox led the team in scoring with 28 points, Wembanyama's two-way dominance and interior control were central to shifting momentum after a slow start. The seven blocks tied for the most in a playoff game since Robert Williams logged nine blocks in 2021 against the Nets while with the Celtics.

    Drummond (hip) has returned to Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Celtics, per NBA broadcast.

    Drummond exited for the locker room in the second quarter due to an apparent hip injury. However, he has since returned to the game, certainly a positive development given the amount of pain he appeared to be in before exiting.

    Drummond went down in pain while holding his right hip midway through the second quarter before heading to the locker room. If he is unable to return, Adem Bona and Dominick Barlow could see extra minutes.

    Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Double-doubles in Game 4 win
    5h ago

    Murray-Boyles amassed 15 points (5-11 FG, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Sunday's 93-89 win over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Murray-Boyles continues to play starter-level minutes despite coming off the bench, turning in another notable performance. Through the first four games of the series, the rookie is now averaging 17.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 25.4 minutes per contest, and he should continue to play a pivotal complementary role as the series shifts back to Cleveland.

    Mobley chipped in eight points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 93-89 loss to the Raptors in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Mobley was kept quiet on the offensive end, tallying just eight points, the fewest he has scored in these playoffs. He certainly wasn't alone in underperforming, with many of his teammates delivering subpar efforts. With the series now tied at 2-2, the two teams will head back to Cleveland for what promises to be a pivotal Game 5.

    Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Iffy for Monday

    Gordon is questionable for Monday's Game 5 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Timberwolves due to left calf tightness.

    Gordon has been dealing with the left calf issue for some time, and he even exited Game 4 briefly due to the issue. If he is unable to go Monday, Tim Hardaway and Spencer Jones could see expanded roles.

    Bona will come off the bench during Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Bona will come off the bench due to Joel Embiid (abdomen) returning to the lineup. Bona has posted averages of 4.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 19.3 minutes per contest across three games in the postseason thus far, but he will likely see a smaller role in Embiid's return.

    Johnson supplied nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 17 minutes during Sunday's 114-93 victory over the Trail Blazers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Johnson continues to put up modest numbers, having failed to score double digits thus far in the playoffs. It's been a rough series for the newly crowned Sixth Man of the Year, with him averaging just 6.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals. With San Antonio now leading the series 3-1, look for Johnson to try to up his efforts in Game 5.

    Ingram was far more aggressive on the offensive end, getting up 23 shot attempts while also adding a pair of blocked shots. Although his radar was a tad askew, it was good to see Ingram playing on the front foot, as opposed to relying on others. Toronto will now head to Cleveland for Game 5, looking to build on its recent momentum.

    Oubre (groin) is available for Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Celtics.

    Oubre was deemed questionable ahead of Sunday's contest due to an adductor injury, but he will be able to play through it. Oubre has scored in double figures in each of the first three games of the first round, averaging 13.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 34.3 minutes per contest.

    Jones performed clean-up duty and also stepped in for Aaron Gordon briefly after the latter went to the locker room due to a calf injury. Jones' meager production mimicked below-average results from the first-unit wings, yet he could be relied on for a bigger role in Game 5 if Gordon's calf issue limits him in any way. Although Jones started for Gordon in Game 3, he's generated only 11 total points over the four-game series against the Timberwolves.

    Strus missed all five of his shot attempts, turning in a disappointing performance on both ends of the floor. His production thus far has been sporadic, going for 24 points and 15 points in Games 1 and 3, while managing just six points and one point in Games 2 and 4, respectively. Both teams will now travel back to Cleveland for Game 5, where the Cavaliers will look to bounce back after consecutive losses on the road.

    Reaves will miss a ninth consecutive game due to a left oblique strain.

    Henderson chipped in zero points (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-93 loss to the Spurs in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Henderson couldn't hit the side of a barn, missing all seven of his shot attempts as the Trail Blazers fell behind 3-1 in the series. The forgettable performance was in stark contrast to the first three games of the series for Henderson, as he averaged 23.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 56.5 percent, including 52.2 percent from behind the arc. Given that body of work, Henderson should have a solid chance of bouncing back in a potential elimination scenario for Portland in Game 5.

    Harper was unable to repeat his heroics from 48 hours earlier, scoring just three points in 25 minutes off the bench. Coming off what was arguably the best game of his young career, the fact that Harper was barely noticeable in Game 4 goes to show just how deep the Spurs' roster is.

    Fox blew up for 28 points, the most he has scored thus far in the playoffs. It was a vintage performance, with Fox shouldering more responsibility on the offensive end while others around him struggled to get going. Sunday's win puts the Spurs up 3-1, with the series now headed back to San Antonio. Look for Fox and his teammates to try and wrap things up quickly, ahead of a potential second-round matchup with either the Nuggets or the Timberwolves.
