Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is officially out on Monday against the Clippers. The 32-year-old is nearing a month on the shelf, although he has practiced in a limited capacity of late.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) won't play in Monday's matchup with Memphis. The 22-year-old injured his ankle and foot late in a meeting with the Grizzlies a week ago, keeping him off the floor for Brooklyn's previous three contests.

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (foot) won't play in Monday's game against the visiting Wizards. The 22-year-old will now miss his third consecutive contest because of a sprained foot.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) isn't expected to play on Monday in Brooklyn.

Dennis Clausen 9 months agoJerami Grant Expected To Miss Monday's Game
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quadriceps) is doubtful ahead of Monday's game in Minnesota. He logged 15 minutes on Saturday night against Memphis before exiting with quadriceps soreness, so an injury designation was expected.

Dennis Clausen 9 months agoDeandre Ayton Questionable Versus Minnesota
Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (hand) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

However, if Ayton misses another […]
Dennis Clausen 9 months agoDevin Booker Officially Out Against OKC
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus OKC. He injured his ankle and exited Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets and didn't return, so most had already planned to be without him.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (neck) is listed as probable ahead of Sunday night's showdown with OKC.

Dennis Clausen 9 months agoBrandin Podziemski Out Again Versus Boston
Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (knee) remains out for Sunday's game in Boston. He'll now miss a second consecutive contest.

Nonetheless, with Andrew Wiggins (personal) also out, Klay Thompson, who had 14 […]
Dennis Clausen 9 months agoStephen Curry Expected To Suit Up Versus Boston
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is expected to face the Celtics on Sunday. The 35-year-old logged at least 30 minutes in each game of the Warriors' current road trip, so many had assumed he'd sit this one out. However, barring a setback during warmups, he'll be out there. While Curry's presumed availability should […]

He's averaged just 8.6 points in 19 games since being traded to Toronto, down from 12.1 points while with the Pacers.

Dennis Clausen 9 months agoR.J. Hampton Signing 10-Day Deal With Washington
Guard R.J. Hampton has agreed to a 10-day contract with the Washington Wizards. The 2020 No. 24 overall pick has bounced around since entering the league, suiting up for the Nuggets, Magic, Pistons, and Heat. He appeared in eight games for Miami this season. However, Hampton averaged just 1.3 points and 1.0 assists before he […]
Dennis Clausen 9 months agoKristaps Porzingis Ruled Out For Sunday Afternoon
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (quadriceps) won't play on Sunday afternoon against the Warriors.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) scored a team-high 26 points in Saturday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. He added nine assists and three steals.

The 28-year-old had 12 points and two blocks in 32 minutes in Friday's game against Philadelphia. But he tweaked his ankle in that one, so he's out on Sunday. Unfortunately, Martin has missed plenty of time over the years because […]
Dennis Clausen 9 months agoSeth Curry Won't Play Versus Toronto
Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Brandon Miller (back) wasn't available for Friday's meeting with the 76ers, so Curry got the start.

With Boston owning the best record in the National Basketball […]
Dennis Clausen 9 months agoAnthony Davis Available Versus The Champs
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) will play on Saturday against the Nuggets. The bilateral Achilles Tendinopathy isn't anything new, and he was listed as probable, so there wasn't any genuine concern regarding his availability for the clash with the Champs.

Dennis Clausen 9 months agoCaris LeVert Might Miss Another Game
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the New York Knicks. He didn't play on Friday night versus Detroit because of a left elbow sprain.
