Scotty Pippen Jr. Misses Second Consecutive Game

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) will remain sidelined for Monday's meeting with the Kings. He couldn't play on Saturday versus OKC due to shin soreness and will continue to sit against Sacramento with the same issue. Pippen Jr. has played well when he's been available, but that hasn't happened too often lately. […]

Luke Kennard Unavailable On Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (personal) won't be in the lineup on Monday versus Sacramento. After playing in seven of the last eight games, Kennard needs to take some time off for personal reasons. The sweet-shooting 27-year-old has been a regular starter lately, meaning another change in the first unit is coming on Monday for […]

Vince Williams Jr. Doubtful To Face Kings

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is considered doubtful to play against Sacramento on Monday. He continues to deal with a left patellar issue that has kept him sidelined for four games. Before getting hurt, the 23-year-old was riding great momentum as one of the focal points of the team's offense. Desmond Bane's return […]

John Collins Ready To Return On Monday

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (rest) is set to return to the lineup on Monday versus Minnesota, as he isn't listed on the injury report. Utah rested its starting center on Saturday against the Timberwolves as the team completed a back-to-back set. Collins has performed well lately, recording eight of his 22 double-doubles this season […]

Doug McDermott To Remain Absent On Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will remain out of the lineup on Monday versus Cleveland. We haven't seen the sharpshooter on the court since Feb. 26, and Monday will mark his 10th consecutive absence. With McDermott unavailable, Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin have a chance to earn more minutes as backup forwards, while Ben […]

LeBron James Continues To Carry A Questionable Tag Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is once again considered questionable as the team prepares to face the Hawks on Monday night. James recently had to skip a game with a troublesome left ankle, but he's logged 38-plus minutes in all three games since returning, and the questionable designation tends to be more of […]

Anthony Davis Listed As Questionable For Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (eye) has officially been listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against Atlanta. He suffered a left corneal abrasion on Saturday against Golden State, playing only in the first quarter.

Still No Timetable For Russell Westbrook's Return

Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook (hand) underwent hand surgery back on March 4 and there was initial hope that he would return before the playoffs started. Head coach Tyronn Lue gave an update on Sunday and said Westbrook was "continuing to improve," but there was still no timetable for his return. The former MVP […]

Cam Reddish Ruled Out Again Monday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) has been ruled out again for the fourth consecutive game. The Pennsylvania native will miss his 29th game of the season as he's dealt with an array of lower body injuries this season. Due to his inconsistent health, he hasn't been able to establish a consistent role when […]

Sam Hauser Undergoes X-rays On Sunday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) had a stellar game in Sunday's win over the Washington Wizards. The C's were down Jaylen Brown (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), and Derrick White (hand). As a result, the door was open for others to get more involved. While Jayson Tatum stuffed the stat sheet, as expected, Hauser amassed […]

OG Anunoby Iffy For Monday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has drawn another questionable tag ahead of Monday night. Initially, there were some reports about the team taking it easy on Anunoby during his first few games or so, but that hasn't been the case yet. In his first three games back, he's played 28, 35, and 33 […]

Cam Thomas Shines Again On Sunday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas had another splendid outing despite his team losing in overtime to the Spurs on Sunday night. Thomas logged 39 minutes, scoring 31 points. He added five assists and demonstrated his defensive acumen by amassing two steals. The 22-year-old has significantly increased his production from last season and is currently a […]

Victor Wembanyama Posts Another Historic Performance

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama had another historic outing in Sunday's overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets. The 2023 No. 1 overall finished the contest with a double-double, amassing 33 points and 16 rebounds. He added seven assists and seven blocks. Wenbanyama is easily the favorite to finish the season as the Rookie of […]

Jordan Clarkson Ruled Out Again Versus Timberwolves

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) has been ruled out of a third consecutive game. He will miss the Monday contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves while he continues to deal with a right groin strain. Groin strains seem to be up there with the injuries that linger the most like hamstring issues. On top of […]

Lauri Markkanen May Miss Seventh Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (quad) has been tagged as questionable ahead of their Monday night contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 26-year-old hasn't played since March 2 due to a right quadriceps contusion. After being named an All-Star last season for the first time, Markkanen was building upon that with another fantastic season this […]

Matisse Thybulle Questionable Against Bulls

Portland Trail Blazers guard Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is listed as questionable against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. Due to the high amount of injuries that this team has faced this season, Thybulle has been playing a lot more than he did the previous year. Two members of the backcourt have already been ruled out and […]

Jerami Grant Expected To Miss Fourth Straight Game

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has received a doubtful status on the injury report for Monday night. The veteran wing is still suffering from a strained right hamstring that seems to be too painful to take the court just yet. There's a very small chance he plays if the hamstring isn't giving him […]

Malcolm Brogdon Remains Sidelined Monday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) has been ruled out for the Monday night game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran point guard has been making progress and ramping up to more work at practice each day, but he still doesn't have a timetable to return. At this rate, the team won't be rushing […]

Norman Powell Out Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (leg) is out for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 30-year-old's injury occurred in Friday's 112-104 loss to New Orleans. Powell had missed just one game this season before being announced as unavailable before Sunday's tilt. If the former Toronto Raptors guard should miss an extended period of […]

James Harden Available Sunday Versus Atlanta

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is available for Sunday's tilt with the Atlanta Hawks. The 34-year-old has been dealing with a left shoulder strain and has missed the last two games. Before being injured, Harden averaged 17.8 points, 8.6 assists, and 5.4 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game across five contests. Bones Hyland […]

Monte Morris Questionable Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Monte Morris (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 28-year-old has dealt with hamstring soreness but returned on Saturday after missing three straight contests. If available, Minnesota will likely continue to take a conservative approach with the 28-year-old, who played just 10 minutes and scored two points […]
