Huerter (thigh) is available for Wednesday's Game 5 matchup of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with Cleveland.

Duncan Robinson (back) is out, so Huerter should be in the rotation, although he may have his minutes monitored in his first game back. Huerter is averaging 1.5 points and 1.5 assists in 10.6 minutes per game this postseason.

Robinson (back) won't play in Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Cleveland.

Robinson has played well throughout most of this series, averaging 13.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.3 blocks and 2.5 steals while shooting 57.7 percent from deep across 32.5 minutes. However, the 32-year-old won't suit up for Game 5 because of lower-back soreness. Without Robinson in the equation, Daniss Jenkins, Kevin Huerter (adductor) and Caris LeVert (heel) should see more work.

Murray underwent an arthroscopic procedure to remove loose bodies in his left ankle Tuesday, per James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento.

Murray, who was held to a career-low 23 appearances in 2025-26, suffered multiple left ankle sprains during the season, and the hope is that the surgery will aid his recovery. The 25-year-old forward could be off the court for as many as eight weeks, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to go for the start of training camp in the fall.

Shams Charania of ESPN reports Wednesday that Anunoby (hamstring) is expected to be ready for the start of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Anunoby was limited to individual work at Wednesday's practice, but the belief is that he'll be available for Game 1 of the next round of the playoffs. With the Cavaliers and Pistons locked up at 2-2 during their Eastern Conference Semifinals series, Anunoby could have nearly a week to recuperate.

Anunoby (hamstring) did individual work at Wednesday's practice, per Stefan Bondy of The New York Post.

It sounds like Anunoby is still limited during his recovery from a right hamstring strain. With the Cavaliers and Pistons in a dogfight during their Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup, Anunoby has plenty of extra time to recover.

Giddey recently underwent a successful right ankle arthroscopy, the Bulls announced Wednesday.

Giddey is scheduled to start basketball activities in approximately three months and is expected to return for the start of training camp, so this is unlikely to impact his stock ahead of fantasy basketball drafts. Across 54 regular-season appearances for the Bulls in 2025-26, Giddey averaged 17.0 points, 9.1 assists, 8.3 rebounds, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.1 minutes per game.

Huerter (thigh) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.

Huerter has missed the past seven games for Detroit, but he's listed as questionable ahead of Game 5. With this news, he's seemingly trending in the right direction with the series tied at two wins apiece.

Harper recorded 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 126-97 victory over Minnesota in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Harper was cleared to play ahead of tipoff after being a late addition to the injury report Tuesday afternoon due to left knee soreness. The rookie first-rounder provided a well-rounded line off the bench in the pivotal win, finishing as one of six Spurs players to score in double figures while ranking second on the team in rebounds. He'll look to continue providing a spark off the bench in Friday's Game 6 as the Spurs aim to close out the series in Minnesota.

Fox provided 18 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five assists and four rebounds across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 126-97 win over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Fox shook off his questionable tag due to right ankle soreness to suit up Tuesday, though he struggled with efficiency in this one. Still, he finished as the Spurs' third-leading scorer and dished out at least five assists for the third time in five second-round games. However, the 28-year-old point guard's struggles from beyond the arc continued, as he has now shot just 18.8 percent from deep over the last three games.

Johnson logged 21 points (8-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one block in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 126-97 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Johnson turned in his best offensive performance of the postseason, delivering an efficient showing from inside the arc while leading the San Antonio bench in scoring. The 2025-26 Sixth Man of the Year had averaged just 8.8 points on 41.4 percent shooting in the series entering Tuesday's contest, making his efficiency in this one extremely encouraging. He'll aim to remain productive in Game 6 on Friday, when the Spurs try to close out the series.
