Edwards recorded 36 points (13-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists and a steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 Western Conference Semifinals Game 4 win over the Spurs.

The Timberwolves star completely took over down the stretch, pouring in 16 fourth-quarter points to help Minnesota erase an early deficit and even the series at 2-2. Edwards delivered several momentum-shifting baskets in crunch time, including a deep 27-footer and the go-ahead three with just over five minutes remaining. The 24-year-old continues to establish himself as one of the NBA's elite playoff scorers, logging his 18th 30-point playoff tally to tie him for fourth all-time in that category among players under the age of 25.

Reid (ankle) returned to Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs, per the game broadcast.

Reid went back to the locker room during Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals due to an apparent right ankle injury, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Reid went down in pain early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest after getting rolled up on by Luke Kornet. With Reid out of the lineup, the starting five is likely to play the majority of the remaining minutes of Game 4.

Wembanyama was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports. He'll finish the game with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes.

The star big man was tossed with 8:39 remaining in the second quarter after elbowing Naz Reid in the chin. With Wembanyama unavailable for the remainder of the game, Luke Kornet should help pick up the slack.

Williams (hamstring) is out for Monday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Lakers.

Williams will miss a sixth straight game due to a left hamstring strain he sustained in Game 2 of the team's first-round series against the Suns. The Thunder could close out the second-round series with a victory, giving Williams extra rest time ahead of the Western Conference Finals. In the interim, Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace are candidates for expanded roles.

Edwards (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs but is available to return, per the broadcast.

Edwards limped to the locker room with 2:41 remaining in the opening quarter. However, the superstar guard returned to the bench shortly thereafter and has been cleared to return.

Conley won't start Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs.

Conley has started the last five games, but he will come off the bench with Ayo Dosunmu entering the first five Sunday. Conley played just four minutes in Game 3 and 16 minutes in Game 2 despite starting both contests.

Dosunmu will start Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs.

Dosunmu will get the starting nod for the second time this postseason, pushing Mike Conley to the second unit. Dosunmu logged 32 minutes in Friday's Game 3 loss, during which he tallied 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists and a steal off the bench.

Embiid logged 24 points (8-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Embiid was a bright spot for the 76ers in Sunday's season-ending defeat, as he shot a perfect 8-for-8 from the floor. Embiid was clearly laboring throughout the second-round series, missing Game 2 and failing to produce at the level he did in the opening round against Boston. The star big man averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 29.0 minutes per contest in three Eastern Conference Semifinals appearances.

Towns tallied 17 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and two blocks across 20 minutes in Sunday's 144-114 win over the 76ers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

While he put up only seven shots, Towns was extremely efficient on the offensive end and was one of six Knicks players to score in double figures. The star big man also impressed as a playmaker, leading all players in assists. He has taken on a larger facilitating role of late and has dished out at least six dimes in seven straight games. After sweeping the Sixers, Towns and the Knicks will now await the winner of the Cavaliers-Pistons series.
