Steven Adams is Questionable on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Danilo Gallinari is Ruled Out Against 'Wolves

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Bazley could […]

C.J. McCollum Goes Through Practice on Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (ankle) was able to go through practice on Saturday. There's a chance that McCollum gets back on the court for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Cameron Johnson is Out At Least A Week

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (quad) is not going to be in the rotation for the next few games. Johnson is suffering from a right quad contusion and will be re-evaluated in one week. Mikal Bridges will be asked to step up and make an impact with the Suns shorthanded for the next week or […]

DeAndre Jordan Remains Out on Saturday

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan (finger) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Spencer Dinwiddie Will Come Off The Bench on Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie will head to the second unit for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Nets have been struggling lately, so they have decided to shake it up.

Rich Hill Eyeing Early June Return

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Rich Hill (elbow) said that he is scheduled to start baseball activities next week, and he's aiming to return in early June.

Ronald Acuna Will Stay In Leadoff Spot

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said he will not move outfielder Ronald Acuna out of the leadoff spot in 2020.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - 2019 Season in Review

A year ago, though he was highly valued in dynasty leagues, Fernando Tatis Jr. was viewed merely as a late-round flier in redraft formats.
