Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Kelly Olynyk Returns to Practice

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) returned to practice on Monday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra was non-committal when asked about whether or not Olynyk would play Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Olynyk has not played since Feb. 5 and will be joining a crowded front court. It could take a couple of games before Olynyk […]

Paul Zipser Doubtful on Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser (foot) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Both Justin Holiday and Robin Lopez are expected to be sidelined.

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. An MRI revealed slight cartilage damage, but Evans is considered day-to-day.

Robin Lopez Doubtful on Monday

Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez is doubtful to play against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. Lopez and Justin Holiday have been healthy scratches the last two games.

Pelicans Sign Emeka Okafor For Remainder of The Season

The New Orleans Pelicans have signed center Emeka Okafor for the remainder of the season. He signed a pair of 10-day contracts with the team, but impressed enough to stay with them throughout the season. Okafor is averaging 3.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per game. He usually only will see […]

Danny Green Will Play on Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (illness) will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. He was listed as probable before the game, but it sounds like he'll be good to go against the Cavs. He missed Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to food poisoning. Bryn Forbes, Patty Mills and Derrick White will go back […]

Manu Ginobili Ruled Out Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (chest) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The injury is not serious, but it does not take much for the 40-year-old to be sidelined.

Danilo Gallinari Listed As Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) is listed as day-to-day, but he could play against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. Gallinari sat out of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Head coach Doc Rivers said Gallinari's ability to play will be a "pain-tolerance thing," so it sounds like a minor injury. Tyrone Wallace will […]

Avery Bradley Out 1-3 Weeks

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) will miss the next one to three weeks of action. Head coach Doc Rivers does not know exactly when Bradley will return, but said he'll out be "a while." Milos Teodosic, Tyrone Wallace and Austin Rivers will split the minutes with Bradley sidelined. Teodosic and Rivers are worth […]

Zach LaVine Won't Play in Back-to-Back Sets

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will not play in back-to-back sets for the reminder of the season. The Bulls will continue to be cautious with LaVine as his knee recovers. This move also improves the chances of the Bulls landing a higher pick in the upcoming draft. The Bulls have four more back-to-back sets, […]

Eric Bledsoe is Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (wrist) is probable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Joe Prunty is listing Bledsoe as probable, but he is technically a game-time call for Sunday. He's expected to be out there barring any setbacks during warmups. Owners should check back before tip-off, but Bledsoe is expected […]

Eric Gordon is Doubtful for Sunday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (illness) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gordon was unable to practice on Saturday and was forced to miss Friday's game with the same illness. P.J. Tucker, Luc Mbah a Moute and Joe Johnson would see additional playing time if Gordon is sidelined on Sunday. […]

Jonathon Simmons is Probable for Saturday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The good news is that this ankle issue is not the same as the lingering injury Simmons suffered last month.

Tyson Chandler is Doubtful on Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

De'Aaron Fox is Probable for Saturday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (eye) is probable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers with pink eye.

Kosta Koufos is Questionable on Saturday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Kosta Koufos (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was reportedly sick Thursday night, which is likely why the Kings held him out against OKC. Zach Randolph would see heavy playing time as a starter next to Willie Cauley-Stein if Koufos is sidelined again. Koufos is not […]

Raul Neto Ruled Out Saturday

Utah Jazz point guard Raul Neto (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be the second straight game that Neto has missed due to an injury at shootaround.

Kelly Olynyk is Questionable for Saturday

Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He's missed five straight games, but the questionable tag is positive.

Paul Zipser Won't Play Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser (foot) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Zipser injured his foot in Thursday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Justin Holiday Ruled Out Against Minnesota

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Justin Holiday has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

David Nwaba started on Thursday and finished with 21 points, […]

Robin Lopez Ruled Out Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This will mark the second straight game that Lopez has been a healthy scratch. It appears the Bulls are fully committed to playing their younger players in the second half of the season. Cristiano Felicio, Lauri Markkanen, Bobby Portis […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out for Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The MRI results have yet to be released, but Butler will sit the second night of the back-to-back regardless. There was "some optimism" that Butler did not tear his ACL, according to David Aldridge. Nemanja Bjelica is expected […]

Shane Larkin is Questionable for Saturday

Boston Celtics point guard Shane Larkin (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He has been sidelined since late January, but has been making progress lately.

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He injured his rib in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to Cleveland.

Aron Baynes Questionable for Saturday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He injured his elbow in the first quarter of Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons. Baynes was unable to return, and head coach Brad Stevens said after the contest that Baynes' elbow was sore. Daniel Theis and Greg Monroe […]

Rudy Gay Will Play Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (heel) will play against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. Gay will have a minutes limit, but will play for the first time since late December. Head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned Gay playing roughly 15-20 minutes against Denver. It would not be surprising if Gay had a minutes limit the […]

Lonzo Ball Will Play on Friday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) will play against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. He will return with a minutes limit and will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday due to rest. Head coach Luke Walton said he's not sure if Ball is going to start or come off the bench. […]

Ricky Rubio is Available on Friday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (hip) will be available to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday. Rubio missed the final three games before the All-Star break. He was playing fantastic basketball before the hip injury, so hopefully he returns to similar form. He's averaging 20.7 points, 7.7 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 1.9 […]
