According to head coach Steve Kerr, Alen Smailagić's ankle sprain will keep him out for the "foreseeable future."

Anthony Slater of The Athletic added in his tweet that the ankle injury will not be a simple week-long recovery. It is a tough blow for the Warriors as nearly every big man on their roster is now injured. To be honest, it was unclear if Smailagić would be able to carve out minutes during his rookie season, but now it sounds like he may have a tough time being healthy for opening night anyway.

Jamal Murray
PG, Denver Nuggets

Jamal Murray (right knee contusion) has been added to the injury report and is questionable to play in Saturday's Game 5 against the Lakers.

Yeah, he's going to play. This postseason has been Murray's coming out party and he's going to empty the tank to try and keep Denver's season alive tonight.

Montrezl Harrell
PF, Los Angeles Clippers

According to Sam Amico of Sports Illustrated, the Mavs are expected to have interest in Montrezl Harrell this offseason, as will the Raptors, Bulls and Knicks.

The Clippers, as has been reported elsewhere already, are also expected to be interested in continuing their current relationship with Harrell. The bubble was generally unkind to the Sixth Man of the Year as he was repeatedly attacked on defense, but his energy and efficient offensive game are standout facets. It should also be noted that Harrell missed a huge chunk of the Orlando session while away for personal matters and may not have been operating at full strength. One thing is for certain, however — even with a poor postseason showing, Harrell's due for a big raise over last season's $6 million salary.

Tyler Herro
PG, Miami Heat

Tyler Herro saw 29 minutes as the Heat's sixth man in Friday's loss to the Celtics, netting 14 points (6-for-12 FG) and grabbing three boards.

Herro put up 37 points on Wednesday – a career-high – and there were rumblings that he might be inserted into the starting lineup over veteran Jae Crowder. Herro did not start on Friday, however, and actually saw his fewest minutes in a game in the series thus far. He went 2-for-5 from downtown, a far cry from his output on Wednesday (5-for-10 3PT). Crowder has been abysmal shooting the ball lately so there's a chance Herro is in the starting lineup for Game 6. Keep an eye out for that.

Goran Dragic
PG, Miami Heat

Goran Dragic logged 39 minutes on Friday vs. the Celtics, fouling out after posting 23 points (8-of-17 FG), four rebounds and four assists.

The Heat were just a bit off on Friday and could not find the bottom of the net from long range, going a paltry 7-for-36 from deep as a team. Dragic himself was 3-for-9 on 3-pointers, which isn't bad considering his season average was 36.7%. The Heat will need more production from their catalysts if they hope to finish off the Celtics on Sunday.

Duncan Robinson
F, Miami Heat

Duncan Robinson contributed early in Game 5 on Friday vs. the Celtics, scoring seven points in the first quarter (20 overall) with two rebounds in the loss.

Robinson finally took some shots other than 3-point attempts in Friday's defeat, making two layups in the early moments of the game. His 20 points were the most he has scored in the series, but the Heat still came up short. They needed more on the offensive end from Jimmy Butler (17 points) and Bam Adebayo (13 points). Robinson will look to build on this effort on Sunday in Game 6.
