The Atlanta Braves placed Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring, promoting Rowdy Tellez to the active roster and designating Jhancarlos Lara for assignment. With a 45-22 record and a nine‑game lead in the NL East, Atlanta can be cautious with Acuña’s health and will rely on outfielders like Mauricio Dubón and Eli White as they navigate his absence.
Munetaka Murakami exited with right hamstring tightness and is likely headed to the injured list after imaging determines severity; the White Sox plan to call up infield prospect Jacob Gonzalez, shift Miguel Vargas to first base, and move Colson Montgomery to third with Luisangel Acuña at short. Murakami still leads rookies with 20 homers and is hitting .240/.378/.560, and Chicago, winners of the night’s game and three games over .500, remains in the playoff hunt as they backfill the infield.
Blue Jays lost Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to an elbow contusion and Dylan Cease to a hamstring injury in Sunday’s game against the Pirates; X-rays were negative for Guerrero, both injuries are considered minor, and Toronto is already dealing with a lengthy injury list.
Thunder forward Jalen Williams and Spurs guard Dylan Harper exited Game 2 with hamstring injuries and will undergo MRIs to determine if there’s a re-injury. Williams’ left hamstring tightness, a strain he suffered earlier in the playoffs, could sideline him longer, while Harper’s right hamstring is also being evaluated. If Williams is out, Ajay Mitchell or Cason Wallace could see increased minutes for OKC; if Fox and Harper miss time, the Spurs may rely on Stephon Castle and Jordan McLaughlin, though Castle has struggled with turnovers. Davis coach updates are pending medical results.
OG Anunoby returned to limited practice for the Knicks after a mild right hamstring strain suffered late in Game 2 of the East semis. Coach Mike Brown said decisions will be made day by day, with optimism that Anunoby could be ready for the Eastern Conference finals. The 6-foot-7 wing had been a standout in the postseason, averaging about 21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks per game on 53.8% shooting from three, and the Knicks are mixing in live work ahead of a potential return.
OG Anunoby remains day-to-day with a right hamstring strain as the Knicks hold a 3-0 series lead over the 76ers and prepare for Game 4; coach Mike Brown says the decision will be medical and guided by the training staff and Anunoby, with Miles McBride starting in Game 3 and Joel Embiid listed as probable for Philadelphia; no team has ever rallied from 0-3, so New York is focused on closing out while staying present.
OG Anunoby is day-to-day with a right hamstring strain and could miss Game 3 against the 76ers, leaving Josh Hart to anchor the Knicks. The piece argues Hart could be the team’s glue—providing leadership, defense, and versatility to weather Anunoby’s absence after a stretch of five straight playoff wins and a history of hamstring-related surprises.
OG Anunoby left Game 2 with a right hamstring injury late in the Knicks' 108-102 win over the 76ers, leaving his status uncertain as he had 24 points, five rebounds and four steals prior to exiting; New York may need to adjust if he misses time.
Luka Dončić gave his first update since suffering a hamstring strain, reaffirming an initial eight-week return window and saying he’s progressing daily but not cleared for full-contact; with eight weeks from early April landing around late May, a return for the Thunder series appears unlikely, and any comeback will depend on his ongoing progress and lack of setbacks.
ESPN insider Brian Windhorst suggested Luka Doncic’s recent trip to Spain wasn’t just for hamstring treatment, hinting there could be personal reasons behind the travel; his claim has drawn pushback from others who say the stop was for medical work or treatment. Doncic hasn’t played since April 2 and was seen in Spain amid reports of special treatment, with some analysts mentioning a possible visit to Slovenia to see his newborn. The Lakers’ handling of his absence and the true purpose of the trip remain under debate.
Luka Doncic told reporters he will return for the Lakers in the NBA playoffs after suffering a Grade 2 left hamstring strain on April 2 against Oklahoma City; initial recovery estimates ranged from 4-6 weeks, later updated to 8 weeks, and five weeks in he has begun running and undergone four PRP injections in Spain as part of rehab, with a day‑to‑day plan to ramp up for the Lakers‑Thunder playoff series.
Luka Doncic remains sidelined with a grade 2 hamstring injury, with speculation over a Spain PRP treatment fueling questions about his recovery; the Lakers struggle without him and he’s ruled out for Game 2 against the Thunder as playoff hopes hinge on his eventual return.
Thunder star Jalen Williams left Game 2 against the Suns with a left hamstring injury, adding to a season already plagued by health issues. Oklahoma City has been strong without him (39-10 in the regular season), so his absence or reduced effectiveness could impact the second-round matchup with the Lakers and how both teams approach the series, especially as coaches game-plan around a hobbled opponent.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander acknowledged the unfortunate timing of Jalen Williams' left hamstring injury, but the Thunder still toppled the Suns 120-107 to take a 2-0 series lead. Williams has missed 30 games this season due to hamstring issues, yet teammates like Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell stepped up, and OKC has gone 39-10 when Williams is sidelined. Early reports suggest the injury is a new left hamstring strain, not a re-aggravation, and while Williams’ return is crucial for a championship push, the Thunder showed they can stay afloat in his absence.
Barça teenager Lamine Yamal is feared to have a torn hamstring after his winner against Celta Vigo, with experts warning a 30% relapse rate that could jeopardize his World Cup participation; recovery could be four to six weeks if the tendon is involved, and Barcelona are due to run tests to determine severity and provide an update.
