"Philadelphia 76ers Outlast Miami Heat in Close Battle"

The Miami Heat lost 105-104 to the Philadelphia 76ers, leaving them with an all-or-nothing game against the Chicago Bulls while awaiting an MRI on Jimmy Butler's injured knee. The loss means the Heat must win Friday's game to advance to a first-round series against the Boston Celtics, with the alternative being the end of their season. Despite a strong start, the Heat faltered in the second half, and injuries to key players like Butler and Duncan Robinson further complicated their situation.

ESPN's projections now place Michigan State as the No. 32 ranked at-large team, with the last team to make the tournament being the No. 34 at-large team.

Rudy Gobert's Injury and Suspension Plague Timberwolves.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert said he would have missed Tuesday's play-in loss to the Los Angeles Lakers because of back spasms had he not been suspended. Gobert's status remains uncertain for the Timberwolves' second play-in game against Oklahoma City on Friday. Gobert hurt his back during the Timberwolves' win over the San Antonio Spurs last Saturday. The back spasms might limit his movements if he is available against Oklahoma City.

Lakers Injury Update: Schroder and Top Scorers Ready for Playoffs

Lakers point guard Dennis Schröder is no longer on the injury report ahead of their play-in game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, while Anthony Davis and LeBron James are upgraded to "probable." Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable with a right calf strain, and Rudy Gobert will be out due to a one-game suspension. Lakers coach Darvin Ham may tighten his rotation, and Schröder's return could mean less playing time for Malik Beasley. The game will be televised on TNT at 7 p.m. PT.

Timberwolves' McDaniels Injured, Gobert Suspended for Play-In Game Against Lakers

The Minnesota Timberwolves will face the Los Angeles Lakers in the Play-In Tournament without Jaden McDaniels, who fractured his hand after punching a wall in frustration, and Rudy Gobert, who was suspended for striking teammate Kyle Anderson.

"Assessing the NBA Playoff Race: Lakers, Clippers, and Warriors in the Mix"

The Lakers have clinched a spot in the play-in game but are now focused on avoiding it entirely. A win against the Clippers is almost necessary for them to do so. The Grizzlies at Pelicans game is the only one that matters on Wednesday, as the Lakers will still be ahead of them in the standings no matter what happens in either the Lakers or Pelicans game.
