NBA Injuries
Name Game Time (EST) Ailment Designation
The most important injuries to watch out for:
Devin Booker (Available/Nasal Fracture) – No concerns on Booker’s availability tonight.
Abdel Nader (Probable/Right Knee) – Nader was a surprise add to the rotation in Game 4 and has been upgraded to Probable for Game 5.
Ivica Zubac (Questionable/Knee) – Zubac is apparently dealing with a right MCL injury and was a late add to the injury report. Zubac has been one of the most consistent bright spots for the Clippers and his absence would really put them in a bind and shake up the rotation. They’d likely play DeMarcus Cousins some minutes, but he’s unlikely to command the heavy workload Zubac has earned. Instead, we’d see a return to small ball from the Clippers with Nicolas Batum and Marcus Morris seeing increased minutes. We expect Zubac to play, but the injury adds a lot of variance to his projected minutes this evening. We docked Zubac’s minutes slightly and elevated the projected minutes of Cousins, Batum, and Morris as a result.
