Jusuf Nurkic Uncertain For Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man was dealing with a calf issue, but now picked up an ankle injury. If he sits out, Drew Eubanks figures to move into the starting five. He hasn't exactly done much during his […]

Nikola Jokic Probable Versus Utah

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) is probable ahead of Tuesday's game against Utah. He's been living on the injury report for the last few weeks. However, the Nuggets are still fighting for the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference, meaning the multi-time MVP should be on the floor. Jokic is having another fantastic […]

Joel Embiid In Danger Of Missing Tuesday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Pistons. The 76ers are at least guaranteed a Play-In spot, so the reigning MVP could miss another contest. Truth be told, Philly doesn't really need him versus the 13-win Pistons. But if Embiid is ruled out, Paul Reed would continue to receive […]

Jalen Duren Off The Injury Report For Tuesday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's meeting with the 76ers, suggesting he will play. He didn't suit up for Sunday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets because of a sprained left ankle. As a result, James Wiseman got the start but finished with only four points, five […]

J.T. Realmuto Resting Versus Cardinals

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is getting the day off on Monday as the team takes on the St. Louis Cardinals on the road. With Realmuto starting on the bench, Garrett Stubbs will catch right-hander Spencer Turnbull and hit eighth against Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas. Stubbs will be a poor DFS play at the catching […]

Willson Contreras Scratched Again Monday, Expected Back Tuesday

The St. Louis Cardinals scratched catcher Willson Contreras (hand) from the starting lineup yet again on Monday against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. Ivan Herrera is making yet another start behind the dish for the Cardinals and is hitting fifth in the order against Phillies right-hander Spencer Turnbull. Second baseman Nolan Gorman is in the three-hole. […]

Jack Roslovic Back On The Top Line At Monday's Practice

New York Rangers forward Jack Roslovic was back skating on the top line in Monday's practice to the right of Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. Roslovic has been a healthy scratch at times this season and skated just 8:07 in a 4-3 win over the Red Wings on Friday. Acquired from the Columbus Blue Jacks […]

Henry Davis, Michael Taylor Sitting On Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher/outfielder Henry Davis and outfielder Michael Taylor will start on the bench on Monday for the series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers.

Tomas Hertl Expected To Make Golden Knights Debut Monday

Vegas Golden Knights center Tomas Hertl (knee) will make his team debut when the Golden Knights take on the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night on the road.

Ethan Salas Swipes Second Stolen Base

San Diego Padres catcher prospect Ethan Salas went 1-for-4 with a stolen base for High-A Fort Wayne on Sunday. The stolen base was his second on the young season and Salas also threw out an attempted base stealer on defense. The 17-year-old phenom saw limited action in the Cactus League, but was eventually reassigned. Despite […]

Elias Lindholm Takes Part In Game-Day Skate Monday

Vancouver Canucks center Elias Lindholm (undisclosed) took part in his team's morning skate before the club takes on the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night. The veteran pivot hasn't appeared in a game since March 23 due to an undisclosed injury. However, it doesn't appear Lindholm took part in line rushes, meaning he is […]

Tim Stutzle Listed As Day-To-Day

Ottawa Senators center Tim Stutzle is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury after missing Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Washington Capitals. The German took a hit from Florida Panthers defenseman Niko Mikkola in a 6-0 loss on Thursday and was slow to get up. Stutzle has notched 18 goals and 70 points in […]

Curtis Lazar May Not Return This Season

New Jersey Devils forward Curtis Lazar could miss the remainder of the season due to an upper-body injury. The veteran was injured during the second period of a 4-3 win against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. With the Devils set to miss the postseason, Lazar's 2023-24 campaign could be over altogether. "He's not great," interim […]

Draymond Green Makes Early Exit With Back Injury

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green didn't finish Sunday's contest against Utah due to an apparent back injury. He spent only 21 minutes on the court, contributing three points, three rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block. Golden State returns to action on Tuesday against the Lakers, and it's unclear if Green will be […]

Anthony Davis Could Be Available On Tuesday

According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, there is "optimism" that Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (eye) can play on Tuesday versus Golden State. The Lakers star aggravated a left eye injury in Sunday's matchup against Minnesota, exiting after logging only 12 minutes. He was inadvertently hit in the face by Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson near […]

John Collins Sitting Out Again On Sunday

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (back) won't play on Sunday against Golden State. The Jazz are limping to the end of the regular season, and, likely, Collins may not see the floor for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign. With Walker Kessler (nose) also out, Omer Yurtseven, coming off a 12-point, seven-rebound effort in Utah's […]

Walker Kessler Out Again

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (nose) won't play on Sunday against Golden State. He fractured his nose during Utah's previous game versus the Cavaliers and didn't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. Omer Yurtseven got the start in that one, finishing with 12 points, seven boards, and one steal, making him […]

Nicolas Claxton Ruled Out On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) won't play on Sunday against Sacramento. The 24-year-old logged 30 minutes in Saturday's 10-point win over the Pistons. However, he'll now miss Sunday's contest because of a sprained left ankle. Without Claxton on the floor, Day'Ron Sharpe, averaging 12.0 points, 4.0 boards, and 1.0 blocks in his only start […]

Joel Embiid Sitting On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Spurs. The reigning MVP recently returned from a lengthy layoff caused by a knee injury. However, he's played well since getting back on the floor, averaging 27.7 points, 7.3 steals, 3.7 assists, and 1.3 steals. But Philly will at least make the Play-In, […]
