Grayson Allen aggravated his sprained right ankle in Game 2 of the Phoenix Suns' 105-93 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the third quarter and did not return to the game.

X-rays on the ankle returned negative, with Frank Vogel adding that Allen was day-to-day.

Allen initially injured the ankle in Game 1.

The Suns are down 2-0 in the series. 

Zion Williamson spoke with the media on Tuesday and said there's a "realistic" chance he returns from his hamstring injury during the playoffs.

Williamson suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the New Orleans Pelicans loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Play-In last Tuesday.

Williamson said the extent of the injury isn't as bad as the one he suffered last year.

Kawhi Leonard is questionable for Tuesday night's Game 2 against the Dallas Mavericks.

"He's going to go through practice today and we'll see," said head coach Ty Lue on Monday.

Leonard has missed the last nine games with inflammation in his right knee.

The Clippers are up 1-0 in the series. 

Jarred Vanderbilt is looking to return to the Los Angeles Lakers lineup for Game 3 on Thursday, sources told ESPN.

Vanderbilt, who is out due to a right foot sprain, has been increasing his workout intensity over the last two weeks.

Vanderbilt and Christian Wood have not been cleared for Game 3, though the Lakers are hopeful that both will be back for Thursday.

The Lakers are down 2-0 in the series. 

Tyrese Maxey missed Monday's shootaround with the Philadelphia 76ers ahead of Game 2 due to an illness and is listed as questionable.

Maxey had 33 points in 44 minutes in Philadelphia's Game 1 loss.

Maxey was the only player missing from shootaround.

Joel Embiid is also questionable due to left knee injury recovery.

Jarred Vanderbilt is still day-to-day as he recovers from a foot sprain, according to Darvin Ham.

Vanderbilt, who wore a walking boot on Friday, has been out since February 1 with the injury.

Ham said last week that Vanderbilt's recovery was "going according to plan."

The team also announced that Christian Wood will be available in Game 3. 

The Los Angeles Lakers will have some additional frontcourt help coming in their first round series against the Denver Nuggets. Christian Wood will be available to play for the Lakers when the series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3.

Wood hasn't played since before the All-Star break. He had an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee in mid-March.

Prior to getting hurt, Wood had appeared in 50 games. He averaged 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game off the Lakers bench.

Los Angeles lost Game 1 at Denver on Saturday. Game 2 will be played on Monday, then Game 3 will be in LA on Thursday, April 25.

Kawhi Leonard has been declared out for Game 1 by the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers host the Dallas Mavericks in their first round series.

Leonard has been out with inflammation in his right knee. 

Joel Embiid briefly left the Philadelphia 76ers Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks before halftime with another left knee injury scare. Embiid landed awkwardly after a dunk and fell to the ground, while grabbing at his left knee. He eventually limped off to the locker room.

Embiid returned to play in the second half. He didn't have any more major issues with the knee, but the moments where Embiid does look hurt are enough to question if he should be playing.

Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse said the team isn't considering shutting Embiid down for the season. Nurse said, "I don't think so" when asked if there is any thought to making Embiid sit due to the repeated injury scares. Nurse said Embiid wants to play and to play through any issues he has with his left knee.

There is increased doubt that Kawhi Leonard will be available at the start of the Los Angeles Clippers' first-round against the Dallas Mavericks. Leonard has been out since the beginning of April with inflammation in his right knee. That's the knee Leonard has had surgically repaired in the past.

Ty Lue said his star forward has been doing shooting drills and will shoot more today. However, Leonard has yet to go through a contact practice since the knee issue flared up.

The Clippers open the first round on Sunday afternoon. LA will host Dallas in a highly anticipated matchup. Both teams are considered potential contenders to make it to the Western Conference Finals, if not the NBA Finals.
