Cameron Heyward PIT DTSteelers' Cameron Heyward: Could hold out of OTAs
32m agoHeyward (groin) plans to skip Steelers OTAs unless he receives a contract extension, Joe Rutter of TribLive.com reports.
Heyward is on track to earn $16 million in 2024, but he has no such assurances for after the upcoming season. He's coming off a down year in which he recorded just 2.0 sacks in 11 games, but he'll still probably be a plus starter for Pittsburgh in 2024 if he doesn't continue to hold out for a new contract.

3m agoMuncy isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds.
With left-hander Brent Suter set to open Thursday's game for the Reds, Muncy will retreat to the bench. While he sits, Enrique Hernandez will man the hot corner and bat fifth.
-
Will Smith LAD CDodgers' Will Smith: Gets breather Thursday
5m agoSmith isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game versus Cincinnati.
After going 5-for-12 with three RBI and two runs scored during the Dodgers' last series with the Giants, Smith will get a day off during Thursday's series opener. Austin Barnes will take his place behind the dish and bat ninth.
-
Stuart Fairchild CIN CFReds' Stuart Fairchild: Sits down Thursday
32m agoFairchild isn't in the Reds' lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.
Fairchild has gone 3-for-16 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored since the beginning of May. He will sit on the bench for the third game in a row Thursday while Conner Capel, Will Benson and Jake Fraley man the outfield.
-
Jonathan India CIN 2BReds' Jonathan India: Sitting again Thursday
38m agoIndia (migraine) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Thurdsay's game against the Dodgers.
A migraine caused India to be a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup, and it appears to be bothering him enough to hold him out again Thursday. Santiago Espinal will get the nod at second base instead and bat eighth.
-
Jared Triolo PIT 2BPirates' Jared Triolo: Out of lineup Thursday
1h agoTriolo isn't in the Pirates' lineup Thursday versus the Cubs.
Triolo will begin the day on the bench amidst his recent struggles. After going 0-for-3 Wednesday, he has just two hits in his last 39 plate appearances. The third baseman has been starting in the absence of Ke'Bryan Hayes, but Nick Gonzales will slide over from second to third Thursday. Alika Williams joins the lineup at second and will bat ninth.
-
Andrew McCutchen PIT DHPirates' Andrew McCutchen: Takes seat Thursday
1h agoMcCutchen isn't in the Pirates' lineup Thursday versus the Cubs.

-
OG Anunoby NY SFKnicks' OG Anunoby: Ruled out for Game 6
1h agoAnunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 versus Indiana, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
As expected, Anunoby will not be available for Game 6, and considering he's still been limited to light, on-court work, it's unlikely he'd be available for Game 7 if one is required. Miles McBride, Precious Achiuwa and Alec Burks will help pick up the slack in Anunoby's absence.
-
Mike Conley MIN PGTimberwolves' Mike Conley: Likely to play Thursday
4h agoConley (Achilles) is expected to play in Thursday's Game 6 against the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Conley is expected to return to action Thursday after missing Game 5 with right Achilles soreness. If the veteran guard is ultimately upgraded from questionable to available, he will likely reclaim his starting spot from Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Mike Conley MIN PG
Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Present at shootaround
6h agoConley (Achilles) is at Minnesota's shootaround ahead of Thursday's Game 6 against Denver, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Conley is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest after missing Game 5 with right Achilles soreness. While Conley's presence at shootaround is a good sign of his availability, the veteran guard was also at shootaround ahead of Game 5 before being ruled out.

Luguentz Dort OKC SFThunder's Luguentz Dort: Stuffs stat sheet in Game 5 defeat
6h agoDort finished with 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 104-92 loss to the Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Dort didn't have his best shooting performance and was particularly woeful from three-point range, but he still delivered decent fantasy value due to his ability to fill the stat sheet. Dort will need to be better Saturday, as the Thunder will try to avoid elimination in a pivotal Game 6 in Dallas, but the odds are against him. Through five games in the series, Dort is averaging just 10.4 points while shooting a meager 31.4 percent from the field.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OKC SGThunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Impressive outing not enough
6h agoGilgeous-Alexander racked up 30 points (12-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 43 minutes during Wednesday's 104-92 loss to Dallas in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Whether the Thunder struggle offensively or not, Gilgeous-Alexander will always get the job done. Unfortunately, he couldn't do everything on his own Wednesday, and he came up short of carrying OKC to a Game 5 victory despite filling out the stat sheet admirably. With the Thunder's back against the wall, Gilgeous-Alexander will need to be at his best on Saturday, as the Thunder will aim to avoid an early playoff exit on the road in Game 6. The star floor general is averaging 31.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game in the current series against Dallas while riding a four-game streak of appearances with 30 or more points.
-
Derrick Jones Jr. DAL SFMavericks' Derrick Jones: Steps up offensively in win
6h agoJones had 19 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 104-92 win over Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Mavericks needed someone to step up offensively due to P.J. Washington's cold shooting and Kyrie Irving's struggles throughout the series, and Jones embraced that role to deliver a playoff-best scoring mark. Jones has scored in double digits in back-to-back contests, setting him up for having a solid role Saturday in Game 6. He's averaging 9.8 points per game in the current postseason run.
-
Jani Hakanpaa DAL DStars' Jani Hakanpaa: Unlikely to return in second round
9m agoHakanpaa is not traveling with the Stars or practicing, so it's unlikely he'll play in the remainder of the second round, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday.
Hakanpaa has been unavailable since March 16 and is effectively out on an indefinite basis until he practices. With Hakanpaa continuing to be sidelined, Nils Lundkvist is holding down a third-pairing role with minimal ice time.
-
Tyler Seguin DAL CStars' Tyler Seguin: Deemed fine after Game 5
12m agoSeguin (lower body) is considered fine after exiting Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Avalanche late in the third period, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Seguin should be available for Friday's Game 6. The 32-year-old played on the third line Wednesday, but he could see more ice time than that role would suggest if Roope Hintz (upper body) is unable to suit up Friday.
-
Adam Henrique EDM COilers' Adam Henrique: Drawing close to return
3h agoHenrique (ankle) will miss Thursday's Game 5 against Vancouver, but he is close to returning, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Henrique also wasn't in the lineup for Edmonton's previous two contests. He has a goal and an assist in six playoff outings this year after finishing the regular season with 24 markers and 51 points across 82 appearances. His next opportunity to play will be in Game 6 on Saturday.
-
Mitchell Chaffee TB RWLightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Secures two-year pact
3h agoChaffee agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.6 million contract with Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Chaffee's deal is a one-way contract, which should increase his chances of playing in more than 30 NHL games this upcoming season. During the 2023-24 campaign, the 26-year-old winger notched four goals on 27 shots, three assists and 88 hits while averaging 11:07 of ice time. Even with his new deal in hand, Chaffee is unlikely to challenge for more than a bottom-six role next season.
-
Calvin Pickard EDM GOilers' Calvin Pickard: In goal for Game 5
4h agoPickard will get the starting nod in Game 5 on the road against Vancouver on Thursday, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports.
Pickard stopped 19 of 21 shots faced in Game 4, posting a .905 save percentage and a 2.00 GAA. While the 32-year-old backstop is making his second straight start, any stumbles by Pickard could see Stuart Skinner reclaim his spot as the No. 1 netminder for Edmonton.
-
Arturs Silovs VAN G
Canucks' Arturs Silovs: First goalie off Thursday
4h agoSilovs was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus the Oilers in Game 5.
Silovs will make his eighth straight start since supplanting Casey DeSmith as the preferred option between the pipes -- at least while Thatcher Demko (knee) is sidelined. In his prior seven postseason outings, the 23-year-old Silovs is 4-3 with a 2.71 GAA and one shutout.
