Good to go Monday Kornet (foot) is available for Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Kornet will shed his questionable tag due to left foot soreness and suit up in Oklahoma City. Over six second-round appearances against the Timberwolves, the big man averaged 3.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.6 combined steals-plus-blocks in 13.8 minutes per tilt.

Will attempt to play in Game 1 Kornet (foot) will do everything he can to suit up for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder on Monday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kornet remains listed as questionable for Monday's clash due to a left foot injury, but the Spurs expect him to give it a go. Coach Mitch Johnson noted that both Kornet and De'Aron Fox (ankle) will continue to deal with their respective injuries even if they're cleared to play, so it's safe to assume that neither player will be at full strength. The Spurs should have official word on Kornet's availability closer to tipoff.

Questionable for Monday Kornet is questionable for Monday's Game 1 against the Thunder due to left foot soreness, RJ Marquez of KSAT 12 San Antonio reports.

Impact Kornet could miss his first game of the postseason due to a left foot issue. Kornet saw a limited role in the team's second-round series outside of Game 4, during which Victor Wembanyama was ejected, as he failed to surpass 15 minutes played in any of the other contests. Yet, his absence would be significant for the Spurs, and more time would be available for Mason Plumlee and Kelly Olynyk to supplement Wembanyama.
