Kerr anticipated JK would play in Houston, but he has been downgraded to OUT for a 5th straight game with bilateral knee tendonitis. JK has done two scrimmages but isn’t quite ready. “Hopefully tomorrow,” Kerr said. – 6:32 PM

Ime Udoka said there’s no real update on Alperen Sengun. “The biggest thing was getting swelling out and he still has some in there.” He says Sengun is focusing on light mobility work to keep the ankle joint loose. pic.twitter.com/ifirgnegUv6:30 PM

Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
Ime Udoka said Alperen Sengun still has some swelling in his right ankle. He’s started to do some light mobility work to keep the ankle joint loose and get the swelling out. Sengun will talk to reporters for the first time since he got hurt shortly – 6:29 PM

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Erik Spoelstra offers only a “we’ll let you know” when asked if Tyler Herro is traveling with the Heat for the three-game trip that opens Friday in Houston. Same response when asked if Herro would play before the April 14 end of the regular season. – 5:48 PM
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Spoelstra declines to say if Herro will travel with team to Houston late tonight or play again during regular season. – 5:48 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga downgraded to out vs. Rockets tonight. He had been questionable. So no Ignite reunion with Jalen Green, for you Ignite fans out there. – 5:43 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Jonathan Kuminga has been downgraded to out in Houston tonight. It’ll be a fifth straight missed game. Kuminga got a hard workout in Tuesday and team did anticipate a likely return tonight. But he will be out again with bilateral knee tendonitis. – 5:33 PM

The Rockets added Amen Thompson to their injury report, but he’s available to play tonight due to a right pinkie finger tendon injury – 3:24 PM
Golden State Warriors @warriors
If streetball legend @theprofessor approves, you better believe the move was special.
The last time Stephen played in Houston, he did THAT. pic.twitter.com/m7gQggTAj83:15 PM

Joel Embiid has had success with shooters such as JJ Redick and Seth Curry in the past. Now, Buddy Hield is studying that film in order to be the next successful shooter next to the big fella. #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2024/04/04/bud… via @SixersWire – 2:41 PM
