Paolo Banchero Won't Play Against Atlanta

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) won't suit up for Sunday's clash with the Hawks. He'll miss his second-straight game on Sunday.

Chet Holmgren Out On Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (back) won't play on Sunday versus the Pelicans. He'll miss another game because of low back spasms.

Bobby Portis Taking Sunday Off

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (rest) won't suit up against Detroit on Sunday. He had a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double when these clubs met on Friday evening.

Bobby Portis (rest) and […]
