Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz is in the starting five for Saturday's game against Cleveland. Korkmaz could see extra run with Tobias Harris (knee) out after leaving Thursday's game with a knee contusion. Korkmaz is just a game removed from a 19-point, five-triple performance against the Raptors, though he's been up-and-down this year. Still, Cleveland […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoCedi Osman Ruled Out Against Sixers
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) is out for Saturday's contest with the 76ers. This was expected, as things weren't looking so good for his status as of Friday. Forward Dean Wade, guard Dylan Windler, and forward Lamar Stevens could all see more minutes. Windler went 4-for-4 from beyond the arc in Wednesday's game and […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoElfrid Payton Ruled Out For Saturday
New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoLaMarcus Aldridge Will Play Against Pelicans On Saturday
San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge (wrist) will take the court on Saturday against the Pelicans. Aldridge returned on Wednesday against the Thunder but shot just 3 of 11 in 26 minutes. With San Antonio already down two frontcourt options in Keldon Johnson and Rudy Gay (health and safety protocols), Aldridge should be in line […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoCam Reddish Doubtful Against Miami
Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Miami. Reddish has missed the last three games with Achilles soreness- and is probably not going to suit up with the All-Star break right around the corner. Tony Snell, who has started in Reddish's absence, has made at least three triples in three […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoDanilo Gallinari Probable, Trae Young Questionable For Sunday
Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (forearm) is listed as probable, while guard Trae Young (adductor) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat. It's unclear when Gallinari suffered the ailment, though it probably didn't hinder him much, considering that he broke the franchise record for threes in a game. Young's injury seems a […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoDavis Bertans To Be Available Against Timberwolves
Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee) will make his return to the court after missing Thursday's game due to right knee soreness. Bertans is averaging 11.0 points per game while draining 2.8 treys a night, though he's played less than 30 minutes in each of his last two games. The team could ease him back […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoMalcolm Brogdon Questionable For Saturday
Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks. Brogdon has been experiencing knee soreness and is coming off a 5 of 17 shooting performance on Friday against Boston, so the team may ultimately opt to play it safe with one of their better players ahead of the All-Star break. […]

Minnesota Twins shortstop Royce Lewis (knee) had successful reconstruction surgery to repair the torn ACL in his right knee on Friday.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoMiguel Sano Could See Time At Both Corner Infield Spots
Minnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano could also see some time at the hot corner this year.

The 27-year-old could get some starts at third with the team planning to rest Donaldson more […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoAlex Kirilloff Getting Reps At First Base
Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff has been getting repetitions at first base during camp. Kirilloff played at first growing up and seemingly would increase his chances of making the Opening Day roster with added positional versatility, as he can also play both corner outfield spots. The 23-year-old made his major league debut in the playoffs […]
