NBA Injury News
Chris Paul is out for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday as he remains in the league's health and safety protocols and there have been no other updates to his status for the remainder of the series beyond that.
Kawhi Leonard won't travel with the Clippers to Phoenix as he remains at home to continue to rehab his sprained knee. That means he'll likely miss at least the first two games of the series.
Bogdan Bogdanovic is considered questionable in advance of Game 7 on Sunday after suffering a sore knee during Friday's loss. Bogdanovic was unable to return Friday and his absence would be a huge loss for the Hawks who are already thin on wing depth.
Trae Young remains probable with a shoulder injury. His appearance on the injury list appears to be purely procedural as he didn't look limited at all on Friday and there's little to no chance he'll sit a Game 7.
Joel Embiid continues to be procedurally listed as questionable by the Sixers as he plays through a small meniscus tear in his knee. Given that he's played in previous games when listed questionable and that this is a Game 7, it's highly unlikely that he sits this one out.
