Carter provided 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game victory over the Hawks.

This was Carter's highest-scoring performance since Feb. 6. Games like this have been few and far between, however. For the regular season, Carter finished outside the top-150 in nine-category formats with averages of 9.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per game.

During his exit interview Monday, Williams said he's feeling good and healthy entering the offseason, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Williams miss Sunday's regular-season finale to manage a left foot injury, though it was likely a precaution. His back was a much larger issue this season, though he told reporters that he noticed a positive difference in January when the Hornets eased his restrictions. He ended the regular season with 44 appearances, posting averages of 15.3 points on 60.4 percent shooting, 10.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game.

Edey closed Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game loss to the Warriors with 14 points (4-11 FG, 6-8 FT), 17 rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes.

The rookie center once again dominated the glass. Edey has pulled down at least 16 boards in five of seven appearances since the beginning of April, but Tuesday's game was the first during that stretch in which he didn't record at least one block. Edey will likely need to continue coming up big in the paint Friday as the Grizzlies get one more chance to secure a playoff spot.

Okongwu registered 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 33 minutes in Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.

Okongwu was one rebound shy from recording a double-double, and he finished second on the Hawks in boards behind Dyson Daniels (12). Okongwu ended the regular season having averaged 15.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks over 32.2 minutes per game since the All-Star break. The Hawks will play at home Friday for the eighth spot in the East against the winner of Wednesday's Play-In Game between the Bulls and Heat.

Edey is in the starting five for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Edey will reclaim his starting center spot from Marvin Bagley on Tuesday after missing Memphis' regular-season finale due to an ankle injury. Against Golden State's small-ball lineup, the 7-foot-4 rookie will have a significant size advantage.

Bagley won't start in Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old big man will retreat to the bench after receiving the starting nod in the club's regular-season finale against Dallas on Sunday due to Zach Edey (ankle) being sidelined. Bagley has logged a DNP in three of Memphis' last six outings, and over his last five appearances in the second unit, he has averaged 0.8 points and 1.2 rebounds across only 4.0 minutes per game.

Kleber (foot) participated in Tuesday's practice, though there's still no clear timetable for his return to game action, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Kleber hasn't played since Jan. 25 while recovering from surgery on his right foot, which he underwent on Jan. 30. The big man has been doing more on-court work recently, but there's still no official timetable for his return ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against the Timberwolves. It's unclear whether Kleber will play a role in the Lakers' rotation whenever he returns, as he has yet to suit up for Los Angeles since the club acquired him in a trade with the Mavericks.

Lively (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Lively sat out the club's regular-season finale due to the right ankle injury that caused him to miss 36 consecutive outings this season. However, the second-year big man is set to return to action during Wednesday's elimination game. Lively has appeared in four matchups since the extended absence, averaging 5.5 points and 4.8 rebounds while shooting 71.4 percent from the field in 16.0 minutes per contest.

Davis (adductor) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the Kings.

The Mavericks continue to list Davis on the injury report due to a left adductor strain, though he's expected to play in Wednesday's elimination game. The superstar missed the club's regular-season finale and appeared in four regular-season outings during April, averaging 24.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.3 blocks across 30.0 minutes per game.

Head coach Darko Rajakovic anticipates watching Chomche (knee) play in the Las Vegas Summer League in July, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Chomche missed the second half of the season due to an MCL tear in his right knee, but he's expected to fully recover well in advance of the 2025-26 campaign. The rookie second-rounder made just seven appearances with Toronto during his first year in the NBA. Still, he averaged 8.0 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in 24.0 minutes while shooting 54.9 percent from the field over 19 outings (one start) with the G League's Raptors 905. With Chris Boucher set for unrestricted free agency, Chomche could be auditioning for the backup center role behind Jakob Poeltl this offseason.
