Bradley (hip) is available for Thursday's Game 1 against the Thunder.

Bradley (hip) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.

Bradley is in danger of missing Game 1 of the NBA Finals due to a strained hip flexor. However, even if he's ultimately cleared to play Thursday, there's a chance he doesn't see the floor, which was the case for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Hukporti registered zero points (0-2 FT) over two minutes during Saturday's 125-108 loss to Indiana in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Hukporti made his third appearance of the playoffs during garbage time Saturday. The rookie second-rounder appeared in 25 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign, finishing with averages of 1.9 points and 2.0 rebounds across 8.7 minutes per game. The 23-year-old big man also played in seven games with the club's G League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks, where he averaged 6.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 blocks across 21.1 minutes per game. The Knicks hold a team option on Hukporti's contract, and if New York chooses to exercise it, he would be slated to become a restricted free agent ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Robinson produced eight points (4-5 FG), nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 30 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Robinson provided a solid stat line in the loss as the Knicks were eliminated in a 4-2 series loss to Indiana. The big man received an increased role in the series (four starts), averaging 5.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals while shooting 78.9 percent from the field across 24.7 minutes per game. Robinson missed an extended period at the start of the season after undergoing ankle surgery in May 2024. He is entering the final year of his contract after playing in just 17 regular-season games, finishing with averages of 5.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, 0.9 steals and 0.8 assists across 17.1 minutes per contest.

Turner chipped in 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds across 21 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 win over the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Turner battled foul trouble, liming him to just 21 minutes. Despite being a non-factor, Indiana was still able to get it done, moving through to the NBA Finals for the first time in 25 years. Turner has been relatively consistent throughout the postseason, averaging 14.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks over the past 11 games. Oklahoma City will trot out a sizeable lineup, meaning Turner will be called upon to shoulder even more, especially on the defensive end.

Towns chipped in 22 points (8-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Towns ended what was a successful first season in New York, tabling his fourth straight double-double. Despite battling a knee concern, Towns left it all on the court Saturday, doing everything he could to try and get the Knicks over the line. Although the result was not what Knicks fans would have been hoping for, the Towns experiment was certainly a positive. Across 72 regular-season games, he put up averages of 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 35.0 minutes per contest.

Bradley (hip) is available for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks on Saturday, Dan Devine of Yahoo Sports reports.

Bradley was initially listed as questionable to play Saturday due to a left hip flexor strain, but the big man will be available for this contest. That said, his playing time will be a game-time call, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Bradley has barely played in the playoffs, and Thomas Bryant is expected to see most of the minutes as the center backup behind Myles Turner.

Bradley suffered his hip injury in Game 5 and could be forced to sit out Saturday. If Bradley is unable to suit up for Game 6, Thomas Bryant could receive the backup center minutes behind Myles Turner.

Robinson totaled six points (3-3 FG, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes during Thursday's 111-94 win over the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Robinson started for the third straight game, although once again failed to play more than 20 minutes. Despite the recent promotion, Robinson's numbers have remained largely underwhelming. In that three-game span, he has averaged 6.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game. Thursday's victory ensures there will be a Game 6, scheduled for Saturday in Indiana.

Towns closed Thursday's 111-94 win over the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals with 24 points (10-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes.

Despite playing through a knee injury, Towns delivered a noteworthy performance, recording his third straight double-double and his fifth in the past six games. While it has been a solid series for Towns, his lack of defensive contributions can't be ignored. He has now failed to record a single steal or block in four consecutive games. The Knicks will look to carry this momentum into Game 6, where a victory would then force a deciding game back in New York.
