Frank Ntilikina Out For Game 1
Frank Ntilikina (illness) isn't available for the opening round matchup versus Utah on Saturday. He doesn't have COVID-19, which is good. However, the 2017 No. 8 overall pick recently underwent a tonsillectomy, so there's a chance he may be sidelined beyond Game 1 as well. With Luka Doncic (calf) also out, Ntilikina could have seen an increased workload, although not enough to see much of a bump from an offensive standpoint. Yet, he'll be missed the most on the defensive end, so Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson, and Donovan Mitchell may benefit slightly without him out there.
