Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (neck) has been cleared for Tuesday's play-in battle against the Memphis Grizzlies, as the team has not listed him on the injury report. Green has been banged up all season and hurt his neck in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Clippers, briefly leaving the game. However, the four-time All-Star seems to be fully ready for Tuesday's action. During the regular season, Green averaged 8.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.5 steals against the Grizzlies.


Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (thigh) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's play-in game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran star injured his left thigh in a collision with Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard during Sunday's regular-season finale, but he pushed through the issue, and it won't prevent him from playing in Tuesday's crucial game. Butler III recorded his highest-scoring game as a Warrior on Sunday, finishing with 30 points, and he has built up strong momentum for the postseason, averaging 27.3 points over his last three games.


Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker is not considering abandoning ship after the team's disappointing season. "I've spoke on it plenty of times," Booker told Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. "I'm sure the people are sick of hearing my Phoenix love story, but I'm deeply rooting into this community. I take a lot of pride in it. We've built it from the ground up before. I didn't think I'd be back in this situation, but it shows you how hard the league is. Once we get back to that championship level, I'll be able to shed light on people that it can change very quickly." While Booker is adamant about staying, the Suns are poised to undergo major changes, which could include trading Kevin Durant.


Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (adductor) is on track to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors, as the team has not included him on the injury report. Bane saw a run of 21 consecutive appearances come to an end on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks when he was ruled out for the game due to left adductor soreness. In other words, Bane was rested for the regular-season finale to keep him fresher for the Play-In Tournament. Recently, Bane has found his scoring touch, averaging 27.3 points over his past four appearances. However, the Warriors held him to 18.5 points per game over four regular-season meetings.


Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's play-in clash against the Golden State Warriors. Morant did not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dallas Mavericks due to a shoulder issue. The Grizzlies superstar was on fire during the final stretch of the regular season and will be expected to carry that form into Tuesday's high-stakes game. This month, Morant has averaged 30.2 points and 5.8 assists with over 41 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
