Nikola Vucevic Will Not Play On Friday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (rest) won't feature against the Wizards on Friday. He sits out the second leg of a back-to-back for rest purposes. With Andre Drummond (ankle) already on the shelf, it looks like we'll get to know Adama Sanogo a lot better on Friday. Smaller lineups could also give extra playing time […]

Richaun Holmes Remains Out On Friday

Washington Wizards forward/center Richaun Holmes (toe) won't be able to return to the lineup on Friday against Chicago. The team has downgraded Holmes from questionable to out, meaning an eighth consecutive absence for him. Tristan Vukcevic is available again on Friday and should make another start in a decent matchup. The 21-year-old has looked very […]

Walker Kessler Still Out On Friday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (nose) will skip a fifth consecutive game on Friday versus the Clippers. He continues to recover from a nasal fracture. There's no John Collins (back) either for the Jazz, meaning a big dosage of Omer Yurtseven, Darius Bazley, and Luka Samanic on the frontcourt. The latter had the best game […]

John Collins Remains Out Of Jazz Lineup

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (back) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Clippers. He will miss a seventh consecutive game with back spasms.

Karl-Anthony Towns Will Play On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will officially suit up ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman will be getting the night off on Friday evening as the O's play host to the Milwaukee Brewers for a three-game set.

Jalen Duren Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The big man was able to play 31 minutes during Thursday's loss.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (rest) has been listed as questionable against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday due to rest.

Marvin Bagley III Out Again On Friday

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (knee) will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a knee sprain and this will be his 32nd missed game of the season.

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) has been tagged as questionable ahead of their Friday night matchup with the Chicago Bulls.

Dereck Lively II To Miss More Time

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (knee) will miss the rest of the regular season. This isn't surprising, considering he's made little progress toward a return to the court.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) carries a questionable tag ahead of Friday's clash with Orlando.

The big guy has been […]

Larry Nance Jr. Won't Play On Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (personal) won't be available on Thursday versus Sacramento. He comes out of the lineup for personal reasons after playing in each of the last 12 games.

Xavier Tillman Sr. Good To Go Thursday

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) will be available for Thursday's intriguing matchup against the Knicks. Boston's backup big has overcome a right knee issue, and the team has upgraded him from questionable to available.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's meeting with the Trail Blazers.
