Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Joel Embiid
C, Philadelphia Sixers

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Doc Rivers has been hired to be the Sixers' new head coach.

Rivers was not without a job for long as he parted ways with the Clippers on September 28, just three days ago. He quickly became one of the most attractive names on the open market and the Sixers were quick to obtain his services. The Sixers have an exciting young core that has some playoff success but the organization is hoping that a new regime can help take them to the next level: a championship contender.

Chris Silva
C, Miami Heat

Chris Silva (left pubic pone stress fracture) and Gabe Vincent (right knee soreness) are both listed as questionable ahead of Friday's Game 2 vs. the Lakers.

Gabe Vincent has played for 15 seconds of these playoffs while Silva has yet to see the court in the postseason. With Goran Dragić (foot) and Bam Adebayo (neck) unlikely to play, Erik Spoelstra could head to the depths of his bench to find a solution for slowing down Anthony Davis and the Lakers. Silva might be able to defend Davis for stretches but is unlikely to play a key role moving forward. Vincent is also unlikely to play even if he is active.

Jimmy Butler
SG, Miami Heat

Jimmy Butler appeared to turn his left ankle in Game 1 on Wednesday but is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's Game 2 vs. the Lakers on Friday.

The Heat needed some good news after hearing that both Goran Dragić (left foot torn plantar fascia) and Bam Adebayo (neck strain) are doubtful for Friday. There is no doubt that Butler is in pain but it will take more than an ankle sprain to keep him from competing on the biggest stage. The Heat will need all that he can give them if they hope to compete with Anthony Davis, LeBron James and the rest of the Lakers.

Goran Dragic
PG, Miami Heat

Goran Dragic is officially listed as doubtful for Game 2 against the Lakers with a foot injury.

It's surprising that Dragic isn't listed as out as he tore his plantar fascia in Game 1. He'll most likely remained sidelined for the rest of the Finals. The Heat started Tyler Herro in the second half, but he struggled to get anything going throughout Game 1. He'll bounce back, but Dragic was their leading scorer and one of their best playmakers so it'll be tough for Herro to fill that void.

Bam Adebayo
C, Miami Heat

Bam Adebayo has been officially listed as doubtful for Game 2 against the Lakers.

Adebayo injured his left shoulder in the second half of Game 1 and will most likely sit for Game 2. The Heat might have to lean on more Kelly Olynyk which is going to set up big games for Anthony Davis.
