Kevin Knox (strained right calf) still limited in practice

Kevin Knox
SF, New York Knicks

Kevin Knox (sore right calf) was a limited practice participant for the second straight day on Monday.

Kadeem Allen (right foot strain) was also limited again. The Knicks have a lot of forwards and will be able to deal with it if Knox misses time, though it's not ideal for a second-year player who has already lost his starting job. Although David Fizdale mused about Knox playing some shooting guard this year, it would take a major rotation shakeup to get him near the standard-league radar.

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.

Kemba Walker
PG, Boston Celtics

Celtics GM Danny Ainge said on Thursday that Kemba Walker was "never right" at any point in the bubble.

Walker was playing without limitations in the playoffs after the Celtics slowly ramped him up to what was thought to be full strength during their seeding games. His knees, particularly his left knee, dogged him for most of his first season in Boston and getting Walker fully healthy should be an offseason priority. Surgery isn't expected to be part of the plan here and it's unfortunate that the issue popped up in his first real playoff run after Kemba put together a few healthy years following three early career knee surgeries.

Jae Crowder
PF, Miami Heat

Jae Crowder bounced back on Wednesday and hit four threes to end with 12 points (4-of-8 FG), two rebounds and two blocks in Game 1.

Crowder's regression was a big storyline in the Eastern Conference Finals, but he finally managed to get his shots to drop tonight. A handful of threes is all the Heat need to get out of Crowder for his minutes to be valuable, but he's usually good for a few more peripherals than he put up tonight. For Miami's sake, hopefully the Crowder Regression storyline has ended for good.

Tyler Herro
PG, Miami Heat

Tyler Herro posted a team-worst minus-35 in Game 1 on Wednesday, ending with 14 points on 6-of-18 shooting, four rebounds and three assists.

Herro struggled shooting the ball and was targeted by LeBron James on the defensive end, leading to that ugly plus-minus stat. Herro started for an injured Goran Dragic in the second half, but there is only so much that can be asked of a rookie in the NBA Finals. With Dragic likely to miss more time, Herro will find himself as the team's primary ball handler going forward. His performance in the prior two series have been a great storyline, but he is now facing the biggest challenge of his young career by far.
