Injury updates cover Edwards, Diabate, Quickley, and Bryant.

Key status reports

Anthony Edwards

The Timberwolves listed Anthony Edwards as questionable for Game 1 at Denver. The designation cited right knee injury maintenance.

Edwards was observed doing on-court work after Friday practice. A reporter from The Athletic expressed confidence he will play.

Moussa Diabate

Hornets coach announced starting center Moussa Diabate is available for Friday’s game at Orlando. He had been downgraded earlier with left hip soreness.

The upgrade removes doubt for the center ahead of that matchup.

Immanuel Quickley

Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley is listed as questionable for Game 1 at Cleveland. He entered the weekend with right foot plantar fasciitis.

Quickley strained his right hamstring in Toronto’s regular-season finale versus Brooklyn on April 12. He described his recovery as day-to-day.

Thomas Bryant

Cleveland ruled backup center Thomas Bryant out for Saturday’s game against Toronto. He missed the final four regular-season games with a left calf strain.

Bryant, a free agent this summer, averaged 6.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 12.2 minutes across 60 appearances in 2025/26. His shooting split was .506/.359/.803.

Play-in implications

Winners of the play-in games will advance as the No. 8 seeds in each conference. Losers will be eliminated from postseason contention.
