Al Horford Getting The Night Off

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford won't play on Sunday against the Rockets. The C's will head to Dallas after Sunday's contest, so the veteran will take the night off to rest ahead of Monday's matchup.

Dillon Dube Won't Play On Saturday

Calgary Flames forward Dillon Dube (illness) will sit out Saturday's clash with the Oilers. Having some time off might even be good for Dube following a 24-game run without a point.

Matthew Poitras Available Again Saturday

Boston Bruins center Matthew Poitras (shoulder) will rejoin the action against Montreal on Saturday. The 19-year-old has been out for four games with a shoulder issue.

Nick Richards May Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 26-year-old didn't suit up for Friday's meeting with the San Antonio Spurs, and with Mark Williams (back) still unavailable, P.J. Washington moved into the starting lineup. Washington played well with the first five, amassing 20 points, six rebounds, […]

Teams Checking In On Samuel Basallo

MLB teams have been checking on the availability of Baltimore Orioles 19-year-old catching prospect Samuel Basallo.

Victor Wembanyama Resting Against Charlotte

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama won't play on Friday night versus the Hornets.
