If anybody has the latest news on their injuries and statuses for the game, please post it here.

As of now, both are questionable, likely to be game-time situations.

Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving will not attend the team?s shoot around this morning in Atlanta in order to undergo additional evaluation with head team physician Dr. Richard Parker. After continuing his treatment following Wednesday night?s game, symptoms related to his left knee tendinitis had not diminished and additional evaluation was recommended. He will be listed as Questionable for tonight?s game.

Carroll

Carroll

Asked about Carroll?s status, Hawks Coach Mike Budenholzer said ?we?re very hopeful.?

?I think sometimes you tend to think it could be the worst, and right now everything we?re getting back is positive,? said Budenholzer, adding a decision will be made before Friday night?s game after consultations with Carroll and his doctors. He said Carroll will receive ?24-hour treatment.?

?He will be getting whatever it takes and as much of it as possible,? Budenholzer said.

Carroll was seen walking without crutches at Philips Arena after his MRI. He was not made available for interviews, but he said on his Twitter feed he was thankful for the good news.

Carroll?s knee appeared to buckle as he was driving to the basket with about 5 minutes left in the 97-89 loss to the Cavaliers. Carroll couldn?t put pressure on the leg as he was helped off the floor.

The fear was Carroll had suffered a significant injury that could end his postseason.

?Last night was a sleepless night,? Bartelstein said. ?We?re all feeling very fortunate this morning.

?I know DeMarre. He?s going to do everything he can to get himself ready to play.?

DeMarre Carroll (knee) will be a game-time decision for Friday's Game 2 against the Cavs, although it appears unlikely he'll be able to play.
Carroll was spotted walking with a slight limp after Friday morning's shootaround, and head coach Mike Budenholzer sounded pessimistic when discussing Carroll's availability for Game 2. "We?ll see how he does the rest of the day and if he progresses," Budenholzer said. "He did some things this morning and we are hopeful for the best." Expect Kent Bazemore to start if Carroll can?t give it a go, with him and Paul Millsap serving as LeBron James? primary defenders. May 22 - 12:37 PM

CARROLL OUT

DeMarre Carroll will not play in Game 2, according to Fred Kalil of CBS Atlanta.

Carroll suffered a knee injury in Game 1 late in the fourth quarter.

The injury is not as serious as initially feared with no ligament damage.

The Atlanta Hawks will likely have Kent Bazemore defend LeBron James with Carroll out.
