As the 2026 NBA Playoffs, presented by Google, move into Game 2 of the opening round this Monday, several remaining Eastern and Western Conference contenders are navigating significant injury concerns that could shift the momentum of their respective best-of-seven series.<\/p>\n

The New York Knicks<\/a> are closely monitoring the status of OG Anunoby as they look to extend their 1-0 lead over the Atlanta Hawks<\/a>. The British starter is currently listed as probable despite a left ankle sprain, after providing a scare in Game 1 when he briefly exited in the second half after aggravating a preexisting injury, but returned to finish with 18 points and eight rebounds in 38 minutes. His participation in Sunday\u2019s practice suggests he will likely be available. The Hawks<\/a>, meanwhile, listed Onyeka Okongwu as questionable with right knee inflammation, and Jock Landale has been ruled out with a right ankle sprain.<\/p>\n

As for the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> preparing for Game 2 opposite the Denver Nuggets<\/a> and Serbian superstar Nikola Jokic, 24-year-old guard Anthony Edwards is questionable for injury maintenance on his right knee. Up 1-0, the team coached by David Adelman will be slightly shorthanded on the wing, as Peyton Watson will miss his seventh straight game due to a right hamstring strain.<\/p>\n

After sitting out Game 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>, Toronto Raptors<\/a> guard Immanuel Quickley is questionable for Game 2 with a right hamstring strain, with Serbian head coach Darko Rajakovic preparing his squad in an attempt to even the series. The Cavs<\/a> will be without center Thomas Bryant, who remains sidelined with a left calf strain for a sixth consecutive game.<\/p>\n
