NBA Injury News

2:30 p.m. ET Update: Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out for Game 4 against the Mavericks.

12:30 p.m. ET Update: Mitchell Robinson has been ruled out.

Mitchell Robinson is officially listed as questionable for Sunday. He has been huge off the bench for the Knicks, but he re-injured his ankle in Game 3 against the 76ers. Robinson was reportedly in a walking boot leaving the arena on Thursday, but is warming up with the intention to play, according to the latest intel from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Joel Embiid is listed as questionable for Game 3 as he continues to ramp back up after returning from his knee injury earlier this month. Embiid has also dealt with Bell's Palsy at times in this series, though that has not impacted his availability.

Kawhi Leonard is questionable to play Sunday against the Mavericks as he continues to manage his knee. Leonard was capped at 25 minutes for Game 3, but told reporters that was the only way he could ensure he would see the floor at all in the game. Leonard said his knee “Just didn’t respond the way we wanted after the first game," but he does expect to play.

Luka Doncic is questionable with knee soreness ahead of Game 4. Doncic actually checked out of Game 3 briefly and appeared to be favoring hiss knee, but he managed to finish the game. Tim Hardaway, who missed Game 3 with an ankle sprain is doubtful for Game 4.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have officially been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Pacers. Lillard is dealing with Achilles soreness and Antetokounmpo has yet to return from his calf injury.
