P.J. Washington Doubtful On Saturday Night

Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington (shoulder) isn't expected to play in Saturday's game against the 76ers. He suffered a left shoulder injury on Wednesday versus Miami and wasn't available for Friday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. With Mark Williams (back) also unavailable for that one, Nick Richards got another start and finished with 16 […]

Isaiah Stewart Questionable On Saturday Night

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) could miss Saturday's game against the Bucks. He logged 20 minutes in Friday's blowout loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, finishing with only four points. But now Stewart, a late addition to the injury report on Saturday, could miss his first game of the year because of a sprained shoulder. […]

Sean Couturier Will Be Game-Time Decision Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (undisclosed) is dealing with an unknown injury and is at risk of missing Saturday's game against the Detroit Red Wings. Couturier has missed a couple of games this year already and has been a game-time decision a few times as well, which makes sense since he had played only 29 […]

Shane Wright Called Up To Kraken

Seattle Kraken forward prospect Shane Wright has been recalled from Coachella Valley (AHL). Wright collected 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 18 games with Coachella Valley. The 2022 fourth-overall pick will look to make his mark in the NHL, where so far he only has two points (one goal, one assist) in 11 career […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Probable On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) is expected to remain in the lineup Saturday versus Golden State.

Bam Adebayo Still Out On Saturday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) remains out on Saturday against the visiting Chicago Bulls. The 26-year-old has missed the last six games because of a hip contusion, so it's anyone's guess when he'll be ready to return. But until Adebayo is back on the floor, Orlando Robinson, averaging 8.3 points and 6.2 boards in […]

P.J. Washington Out On Friday Night

Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington (shoulder) won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. Washington suffered a left shoulder injury during Wednesday's contest versus the Miami Heat, ending his night after just four minutes of work. Charlotte also won't have Mark Williams (back), who will miss his third straight game, meaning Nick […]

Mark Williams Out Again On Friday Night

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) won't play on Friday night against the Pelicans. The 21-year-old has missed two straight games (and three of his last four) because of a back issue. He had been doubtful, so it appears he's at least moving in a favorable direction. However, until Williams returns, Nick Richards, averaging 9.0 […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Play Against Pistons

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) was feeling "under the weather" on Friday, according to head coach Adrian Griffin.

Fantasy managers […]

Kristaps Porzingis Considered Doubtful On Friday Against Magic

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (calf) has been listed as doubtful for the team's Friday night game against the Orlando Magic.

Al Horford, Luke Kornet Both Ruled Out On Friday

Boston Celtics centers Al Horford (rest) and Luke Kornet (groin) have both been ruled out for the second half of a back-to-back on Friday against the Orlando Magic. Horford is just getting some veteran rest, so he should be back for their next game. Kornet is experiencing left-adductor tightness, so it's unclear if he's going […]

Evan Mobley Will Miss 6-8 Weeks

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (knee) will reportedly undergo an arthroscopic knee surgery on his left knee. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Cavs' big man will miss six to eight weeks which compounds with the news that Darius Garland (jaw) is also going to miss around a month. They'll be down two of their big […]

Patrik Laine Out Six Weeks With Fractured Clavicle

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine (clavicle) is expected to miss six weeks with a fractured clavicle.

This is a big blow for the already struggling Blue Jackets, who lack the finishing touch […]

Mason McTavish Deemed Game-Time Decision Friday

Anaheim Ducks center Mason McTavish (upper body) skated Friday morning and will see how he feels before a decision is made on whether he will return to the lineup.

Anthony Davis Receives Questionable Tag On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers center/forward Anthony Davis (hip) has been listed as questionable again for the Friday night contest against the San Antonio Spurs.

Steven Stamkos Puts Four Pucks Past Oilers

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos tied a franchise record with a four-goal outing in Thursday's 7-4 road victory over the Oilers.

Auston Matthews Has Multi-Goal Game In Loss

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews finished with two goals for the second consecutive game in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss against the Blue Jackets.

Deandre Ayton Expected To Play On Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man has continued to miss time lately due to right knee soreness.
