Kevin Durant

Sonics rookie Kevin Durant recently sprained both of his ankles, but he received treatment on Sunday and is probable for Monday's game.

He played great on Friday and there was no mention of a sprained ankle at the time, so it sounds like the injuries were rather minor. Mar. 24 - 3:56 pm et

Chris Wilcox

Sonics forward Chris Wilcox won't play on Monday because of his aggravated pinkie injury. He went to a hand specialist on Monday afternoon and should know how much time he'll miss later in the day.

We're not holding out much hope for Wilcox -- this is a second opinion he's getting, and if it's the same as the first his season is likely over. Mar. 24 - 3:52 pm et

Earl Watson

Sonics point guard Earl Watson is doubtful to play on Monday because of a calf contusion, and the team is expected to sign a backup point guard in the near future. Mar. 24 - 3:47 pm et

76ers center Samuel Dalembert will play in Monday's game despite straining his right shoulder on Saturday.

"It’s sore," Dalembert said after Monday’s shoot-around. "I haven’t done too much movement with it and I’m trying to shoot a little...but I will be ready to play." Mar. 24 - 1:22 pm et

Pau Gasol

Lakers coach Phil Jackson said on Sunday that Pau Gasol won't travel with the Lakers for Monday's game, is unlikely to play the Bobcats on Wednesday and may not be ready for Friday's game against the Grizzlies. More bad news. Gasol had been targeting Wednesday for his return, and now he might be out until next Sunday against the Wizards, though that sounds like a worst-case scenario.

New York Knicks

Knicks guard Nate Robinson (sprained knee) will miss a second straight game on Monday and is questionable beyond that. Quentin Richardson is expected to miss another game with his sprained wrist, but at least New York will have Zach Randolph back.
