NBA Playoff Seeding & Injury Updates

As the regular season concluded, the Clippers rested star Kawhi Leonard for their regular-season finale against the Warriors, prioritizing his health ahead of the play-in tournament despite his strong season averages of 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists. Elsewhere, the promising rookie campaign for No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg ended abruptly with a sprained ankle, an injury sustained early in the second quarter of the Mavericks' final game, dampening expectations for his potential Rookie of the Year run. Meanwhile, Mikal Bridges managed to extend his consecutive games streak to 638 during the Knicks' finale, though his participation was minimal, lasting only 23 seconds before exiting the contest.
