Huerter (adductor) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.

Huerter will miss a fifth consecutive game due to a left adductor strain. His next opportunity to suit up will come in Saturday's Game 3, and in the meantime, Daniss Jenkins should continue to see an elevated role off the bench.

Dosunmu (heel) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs.

Dosunmu was previously hampered by a right calf injury but exited Wednesday's Game 2 early due to right heel soreness. The guard was highly effective to begin the postseason before injuries surfaced, averaging 21.8 points, 4.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds across the first five games of the opening-round series against the Nuggets. If Dosunmu is unavailable, Bones Hyland and Terrence Shannon could see increased opportunities.

Edwards is questionable for Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs due to a left knee bone bruise.

Edwards has come off the bench in each of the first two games of this series, and while he impressed in Game 1, he wasn't nearly as impactful in Wednesday's Game 2, as he was held to 12 points and three rebounds in 24 minutes. If Edwards is cleared to suit up for Game 3, it would be reasonable to expect that he'll remain on a minutes restriction.

Hart (thumb) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the 76ers.

Hart was able to return to Wednesday's Game 2 win after suffering an unspecified hand injury but now is listed on the injury report with a left thumb sprain. Through eight postseason games, the Villanova product is averaging 9.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.8 steals across 33.8 minutes per contest. If Hart is ultimately unable to suit up, Miles McBride and Landry Shamet would be candidates for increased roles.

Robinson (illness) is probable for Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the 76ers.

Robinson was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Game 2 and ended up sitting out the narrow win, but he's expected to return to action Friday. Across seven playoff games, Robinson has averaged 5.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 13.6 minutes.

Anunoby (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the 76ers.

Anunoby suffered a hamstring injury in the waning moments of Game 2, and he's since been officially tagged as questionable for Game 3. More clarification on his availability for Friday should come closer to tipoff.

Embiid (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against New York.

The team mentioned after Game 2 that Embiid would be considered day-to-day moving forward, so this questionable tag aligns with this previous report. Philadelphia should have a better idea of Embiid's availability for Game 3 after watching him take part in shootaround and warmups.

Harper supplied 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-95 win over the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

The Spurs handled business early to tie the series, and the team went deep into the bench as a result of the lopsided score. Through seven playoff games, Harper is averaging 13.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.6 minutes per contest.

Johnson produced nine points (2-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 133-95 win over the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Johnson struggled with efficiency from the field but did solid work getting to the free-throw line and on the glass, ultimately finishing one point shy of a double-double. Wednesday marked the wing's first double-digit rebounding effort since Feb. 1 and just the seventh such performance of the year between the regular season and playoffs. Through seven postseason games in 2026, Johnson is averaging 7.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 19.6 minutes per contest off the bench.

McBride recorded four points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 108-102 win over Philadelphia in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

McBride logged a healthy 21 minutes, the most of anyone off the New York bench in the Game 2 win, but he made little offensive impact with just one field goal and one free throw to show for it. The guard has scored in single digits in six of eight playoff games this year, including a pair of scoreless outings in the first round against Atlanta. He's coming off a regular season in which he averaged a career-high 12.0 points while shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 41.3 percent from beyond the arc, but McBride's offensive production has been up and down in the postseason so far.
