Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (ankle) is probable for Saturday's Central Division meeting with Cleveland.

Monte Morris Out Again Versus The Raptors

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) remains out for Saturday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. Morris will now miss his fourth straight contest because of low back soreness, meaning Delon Wright will take his sport in the rotation. Wright has averaged 7.4 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 boards, and 1.4 steals in five starts this season, […]

Norman Powell Out For At Least One Week

Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (shoulder) is out for at least one week. The 29-year-old sustained a left shoulder subluxation during the loss to the Warriors on Thursday evening.

Alec Burks Won't Play Against The Cavs

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (foot) won't play on Saturday against Cleveland. Detroit will also be without Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Isaiah Stewart (hip), and Jalen Duren (ankle), so Killian Hayes, Hamidou Diallo, and Jaden Ivey could see a significant uptick on the scoring end. At the same time, James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley III should […]

Isaiah Stewart To Remain Sidelined Versus Cleveland

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (hip) isn't available for Saturday's meeting with the Cavaliers. The 21-year-old will miss his third consecutive contest, joining Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Alec Burks (foot), and Jalen Duren (ankle) on the shelf for this one.

Bojan Bogdanovic Won't Suit Up On Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) won't suit up on Saturday versus Cleveland.

That said, Detroit will be undermanned on Saturday, with Alec Burks (foot), Jalen […]

Ben Simmons Experiences Back Soreness During Rehab

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) experienced back soreness during rehab this week. The 26-year-old has missed the last four games with a nagging knee issue. However, the latest setback only adds more uncertainty concerning whether he can make it back in 2022-23. Simmons is easily having the worst season of his career, averaging 6.9 […]

Kawhi Leonard Getting The Night Off On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Friday evening versus the Sacramento Kings.

Norman Powell (shoulder) and Marcus Morris Sr. (elbow) are also out, while Ivica Zubac […]

Cam Reddish Back In The Starting Lineup On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Cam Reddish will start on Friday versus the Atlanta Hawks. Anfernee Simons is back on the injury report, so Reddish will roll with the first five against his former squad. The 23-year-old has averaged 11.2 points in 1.3 steals in 14 starts this season, so he'll be worth a look for […]

Jaylen Brown Available Versus Brooklyn

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (face) is available on Friday night versus the Brooklyn Nets. Brown has been a routine occupant on the injury report because of the facial fracture suffered before the All-Star break. However, he'll be good to go and expected to see a full workload, meaning significantly fewer minutes for Sam Hauser […]

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (leg) expects to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 34-year-old, who has missed nearly a month because of a leg injury, has averaged 17.5 points, 5.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.6 steals this season while shooting 43.7% from deep. While the Warriors are looking to make […]

Jonathan Isaac Done For The Season

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (groin) will miss the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old underwent surgery on Friday to repair a torn left adductor muscle, resulting in a premature end to another season. Isaac had played only 11 games in 2022-23 after being sidelined since the 2019-20 campaign because of knee and hamstring injuries, […]

Devin Vassell Resting Against The Rockets

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (knee) won't play on Saturday against the Rockets.

Trae Young Probable Versus Portland

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (groin) is expected to play on Friday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Young has played well of late, scoring 31 points or more in […]

P.J. Washington Not Expected To Play On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (foot) is considered doubtful ahead of Friday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. This will presumably be his fourth consecutive absence as he works his way back from a strained right foot. In the meantime, JT Thor is expected to remain in the starting lineup. Thor hasn't played well in his […]

Kristaps Porzingis Removed From The Injury Report

Washington Wizards forward Kristaps Porzingis (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's meeting with Toronto. The veteran missed the last two games with left knee soreness, allowing Deni Avdija to enter the starting lineup. However, Avidja struggled while Porzingis was sidelined, combining for only 12 points, so his return to the bench […]

Monte Morris Out Again On Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) is out for Thursday's contest versus the visiting Toronto Raptors, marking his third straight absence because of low back soreness. Delon Wright has been starting in Morris' place, with the 30-year-old going for nine points, four assists, and one block against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday evening. That said, […]

Anfernee Simons Could Return On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. The 23-year-old has missed his last three games because of a right ankle sprain. However, Simons was expected to be out longer, so it looks like he's close to returning, even if he doesn't get the green […]

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Wednesday night versus Oklahoma City. The 27-year-old will now miss his third consecutive contest, with his next chance to suit up coming on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Bucs Expected To Part Ways With Donovan Smith

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Donovan Smith is expected to be released.

Larry Nance Jr. Unavailable Against Orlando

New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) is listed as out ahead of Monday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. The 30-year-old sprained his left ankle during Saturday's game against the New York Knicks and was observed leaving the arena using crutches, so he'll likely miss even more games moving ahead. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) […]

Jaylen Brown Won't Play On Monday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (personal) won't play in Monday's game against the New York Knicks. The 26-year-old is dealing with a private matter, so it's anyone's guess if he'll return for Wednesday's meeting with the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers. In the meantime, Derrick White (ankle), who is probable, should take Brown's spot in the lineup. […]
