Dosunmu (heel) is available for Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus the Spurs on Friday, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.

Dosunmu will likely have his minutes monitored, but with him active, there will be fewer minutes available for Bones Hyland and Terrence Shannon. Through six postseason games, Dosunmu has put in averages of 18.2 points, 3.3 assists and 2.0 triples per contest on 58.0/52.0/95.0 shooting splits.

Vanderbilt (finger) is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus the Thunder, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

Vanderbilt missed Game 2 on Thursday after dislocating his right pinky finger in Tuesday's Game 1 loss, but there's a chance he could return for Game 3 on Saturday. If he's cleared to play, Dalton Knecht and Jake LaRavia's minutes could dip a bit.

Edwards (knee) is available for Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

As expected, Edwards carried a questionable designation heading into this contest. However, he is good to go. The 24-year-old has struggled during this series, averaging 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.5 blocks across 24.5 minutes. It's unknown when Edwards will return to the starting lineup, although Terrence Shannon will presumably remain in his place for now.

McBride will start in Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the 76ers, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

With OG Anunoby (hamstring) sidelined for this contest, McBride will enter the starting lineup. The 25-year-old started 15 times during the regular season, averaging 16.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.9 steals while shooting 43.5 percent from deep across 33.9 minutes in those appearances.

Embiid (ankle) is available for Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against New York, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid didn't suit up for Game 2 and was considered day-to-day. However, he was spotted on the court during warmups and now officially has the green light to suit up. The 32-year-old struggled in Game 1, finishing with 14 points, four rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes. With Embiid available, Andre Drummond will head back to the bench after starting Wednesday night.

Drummond will come off the bench in Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Joel Embiid (ankle) is back and starting, so Drummond will shift back to the second unit. As a reserve this postseason, Drummond owns averages of 4.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game.

Embiid (ankle) was spotted going through warmups ahead of Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks, Paul Hudrick of Liberty Ballers reports.

Embiid is still listed as questionable. However, his presence during warmups is an encouraging sign regarding his availability for Game 3. If Embiid suffers a setback and can't get on the floor, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona would likely continue to share time at the five.

Robinson (illness) will play in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the 76ers on Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Robinson missed Wednesday's Game 2 win with an illness, but he'll be back in action Friday and should see his usual minutes behind Karl-Anthony Towns. Robinson is averaging 6.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game this postseason.

Hart (thumb) is available for Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the 76ers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

This is an expected update after Hart was upgraded to probable following shootaround. Hart could see a bump in usage Friday with OG Anunoby (hamstring) sidelined.

Anunoby (hamstring) is out for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal-round series versus the 76ers on Friday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Anunoby will hit the sidelines after tweaking his hamstring during Wednesday's Game 2 win, but the good news is that this injury is considered minor and he's being listed as day-to-day. Miles McBride, Jordan Clarkson and Jeremy Sochan will have the chance for some extended minutes while Anunoby is out.
