Especially with the All-Star break coming up, DeRozan will […]

Tyrese Haliburton Listed As Questionable For Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (thigh) has been given the questionable tag for Monday's contest against the Utah Jazz due to a left thigh contusion.

Tre Jones Ruled Out On Monday Against Cavaliers

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (foot) returned on Saturday from a four-game absence but will now miss another game with a sore left foot.

Keldon Johnson Likely To Play Against Cleveland

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (ankle) has been dealing with left ankle soreness but has been listed as probable to play on Monday night. The 23-year-old was able to play nearly 30 minutes in their last game on Saturday as well, so that bodes well for him playing his normal amount on Monday. Since […]

Joel Embiid Picks Up Another Questionable Status On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) continues to deal with left foot soreness which has been the cause of the questionable tag over the last few games.

John Collins May Not Suit Up On Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (hip flexor) has been listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. Other than a two-week stretch in early December, Collins has been healthy most of the season. Hip flexor strains can be tricky with some players missing up to a few games. If he can't suit up, […]

Saddiq Bey Questionable For Hawks Debut On Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward Saddiq Bey (trade pending) is officially questionable to play his first game in a Hawks uniform on Monday. The four-team deal finally became official after some drama surrounding Gary Payton II's injury on Sunday.

Jerami Grant Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (concussion) has been given the questionable tag for Monday as he currently remains in concussion protocol since Saturday night.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker has been removed from the injury report ahead of their game against the Indiana Pacers on Friday.

Mike Conley Available To Make Timberwolves Debut On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley is officially available to make his debut on just the third team in his career on Friday.

So far this season, while his scoring has been at a career low, he's averaged […]

Jordan Clarkson Tagged As Questionable On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) was added to the injury report on Friday with a non-COVID illness that could keep him off the floor against the Toronto Raptors. The 30-year-old has missed only one game so far this season, so this isn't much of a reoccurring theme. Since the team traded away Mike Conley […]

Jakob Poeltl Expected To Make His Toronto Debut On Friday

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl is expected to make his debut with his new-ish team as long as they get the league approval for him to do so. The 27-year-old said he's ready to go and with the Raptors still fighting to make the playoffs, they have every reason to try to get him on […]

Jeremy Sochan Will Not Suit Up On Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (back) is the third player on the team that was downgraded from questionable to out.

Keldon Johnson Downgraded, Will Miss Friday's Game

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to out with left ankle soreness. The 23-year-old hasn't missed a game since January, but the Spurs tank job doesn't stop for anybody at this point.

Tre Jones Out Again On Friday Versus Pistons

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (foot) will miss his fourth consecutive game with left foot soreness. He was originally listed as questionable just as he was for their last game, but he was inevitably downgraded before tipoff. The Spurs will be without seven different players, so there is probably a plethora of players available […]

Luka Doncic Downgraded To Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (heel) will have to wait for at least one more game to debut the new, electric backcourt alongside Kyrie Irving. A right heel contusion has proved to cause too much pain so he was downgraded and will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Friday. This doesn't rule him out […]

Khris Middleton Ruled Out On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) will miss Friday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers due to right knee injury management.

Aaron Gordon Leads All Scorers In Loss To Orlando

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon posted one of his best games of the season in an unfortunate loss to the Orlando Magic on Thursday. The 27-year-old registered 37 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block on 15-for-21 shooting overall, 3-for-6 from beyond the arc, and 4-for-7 from the charity stripe. Gordon continues […]

Dennis Schroder Posts Double-Double In Losing Effort

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder was the beneficiary as Russell Westbrook was shipped to Utah and the new players have yet to make their debuts. Across the 34 minutes that he played, Schroder posted 25 points, 12 assists, two rebounds, and one steal while shooting 10-for-17 from the floor and 1-for-4 from deep. This […]
