Player News
Jake LaRavia (thumb) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks.
LaRavia has been out since March 25 with an incomplete scaphoid fracture of his left thumb, and he will not be available for Wednesday’s Play-In tournament game. Trey Lyles’s playing time has increased substantially, and that should remain the case against the Mavericks. The Kings will be without two crucial reserves, as Malik Monk (calf) is also out.
Anthony Davis (groin) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Kings.
Davis was held out of Sunday’s regular season finale against the Grizzlies, as the Mavericks were locked into the 9/10 Play-In tournament game. The probable tag suggests he should be back in the lineup on Wednesday as Dallas looks to keep its season alive. Davis’s return will push Max Christie to the bench, as the Mavericks went small on Sunday.
Trae Young (Achilles) is available for Tuesday’s game against the Magic.
As expected, Young has been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday’s 7/8 Play-In tournament matchup. He’ll occupy his usual role within the Hawks’ starting lineup. The winner of Tuesday’s game will face Boston in the first round, with Game 1 scheduled for Sunday. The loser will host the winner of Wednesday’s matchup between Miami and Chicago on Friday for the eighth seed in the East.
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reports the Suns are expected to offer Devin Booker a contract extension this summer.
Phoenix’s disappointing 2024-25 season ended with a loss to Sacramento on Sunday, and head coach Mike Budenholzer was fired the following day. Booker may be the only “safe” player on the roster in what should be a busy summer for the franchise. He’s eligible to sign an extension worth $ 149.8 million over two seasons, and according to Windhorst, the Suns intend to offer their star guard that deal. With Phoenix not having control of its first-round pick for the rest of the decade, they’ll likely have to part with Kevin Durant or Bradley Beal (or both) to change the roster’s makeup significantly.
On Tuesday, Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Jericho Sims (thumb) should be available for the team’s first-round series against the Pacers.
Sims suffered a torn ligament in his right thumb in mid-March, with the team giving him a four-week timeline after undergoing surgery. The reserve center participated in most of Tuesday’s practice, sparking optimism that he will be available. However, with Brook Lopez due to play most of the minutes and Bobby Portis back from his 25-game suspension, there won’t be many minutes available to Sims.
Dalen Terry (calf) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.
Terry has been one of the Bulls’ key bench players in recent weeks and has a good chance to be one of the first players off the pine on Wednesday. However, he’s unlikely to have significant impact in such an important game.
