Some big names are dotting the injury reports for Friday’s NBA playoff games, while some unexpected news has caught the league’s attention. And after a late report on Thursday revealed that Aaron Gordon was out for the night’s game against the Wolves, it’s clear that things can change fast in terms of injury timelines in the NBA.
While Luka Dončić is the most impactful player who will definitely miss Friday night’s action, several impact players may be out as well. Then there’s the curious case of Damian Lillard. He has missed the entire season after tearing his Achilles tendon last April, but on Thursday, his head coach cracked the door open to his return this postseason.
