The 76ers are waiving Payne (hamstring) on Friday, per Tony Jones of The Athletic.

Philadelphia is converting Dalen Terry to a standard deal in a corresponding move. Payne, who's out with a hamstring strain, averaged 7.4 points, 2.6 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 17.0 minutes per tilt in 22 games this season for the 76ers.

Powell (groin) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Wizards.

The Heat initially listed Powell as questionable, but it looks as though he will be held out for maintenance. Tyler Herro (foot) has been ruled out, so the Heat will be very thin on the wings.

Herro (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Herro's last chance to make a regular-season appearance now comes Sunday against the Hawks. Simone Fontecchio could be in line for a spot start Friday, while Kasparas Jakucionis may also see more playing time.

Eason (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Eason played through a questionable tag Thursday and remains day-to-day. During Thursday's game, he managed to play 27 minutes with 15 points, eight rebounds and two assists.

Clowney (ankle) won't be available for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Clowney is set to miss a fourth straight game Friday, remaining on what is an extensive injury report for the Nets. E.J. Liddell and Trevon Scott should continue to be in line for more frontcourt minutes.

Minott (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Minott will be sidelined for his second straight contest Friday. Consider him questionable for the season finale Sunday.

Traore isn't listed on Brooklyn's injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Bucks.

Traore played only nine minutes against the Bucks on Tuesday and sat out Thursday's loss to Indiana for rest purposes. While he's available Friday, it's unclear how many minutes the rookie will play in Brooklyn's penultimate regular-season game.

Powell is listed outfor Friday's game against the Bucks due to left knee injury management.

Powell will be in line for his first absence since March 23. With Powell among the 10 players the Nets have ruled out for Friday, extended minutes should be available for players like Trevon Scott, Malachi Smith and Tyson Etienne, among others.

Williams (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

The Nets used just seven players Thursday for the front end of the back-to-back set, and they will again be extremely shorthanded Friday. Williams is not a lock to return for the season finale Sunday.

Claxton (finger) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Claxton will miss a fourth straight game, and it's unlikely he'll suit up during Sunday's regular-season finale in Toronto. E.J. Liddell should draw another start at center in Claxton's absence.
